Here's something wild, most kittens are born with a reflex that makes them go limp when picked up, and they lose it by around 8 weeks old. Ragdolls never do 🧬. That lifelong limpness is the actual origin of their name, and it comes from a genetic predisposition to be calm and relaxed, paired with the deep trust they place in their person, which is what makes them go fully limp.

This striking black and tan breed was originally bred to freeze in place and quietly signal hunters the moment it spotted game, a skill still visible in the Gordon Setter's calm, steady temperament today. Fewer people know the breed today, though. Some recent years saw as few as 172 UK registrations, landing it on the official list of vulnerable native breeds 🐕.

The best time to get pet insurance is before you need it, enrolling while your pet is young and healthy means lower premiums and fewer exclusions for conditions that show up later 🐕. Emergency vet visits can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to well over $5,000 for surgery or hospitalization. Reach out to us if you'd like to talk through your options.

📣 IMPORTANT UPDATE!! 📣

The Way We Send Your Pet’s Reminders Is Changing!!

Just a reminder that we are no longer using Otto and have officially transitioned to Vello as our communication platform!

As we continue this transition, we are also beginning to phase out mailed postcard reminders. Going forward, reminders for your pet’s vaccines, medical services, and preventive care will primarily be sent by text message and email.

📱 PLEASE DON’T OPT OUT!
It is very important to keep your text and email notifications enabled. If you opt out or unsubscribe, you may miss important reminders that your pet is due or overdue for care.

Already opted out of text messages? No problem! Simply text START to 814-756-4441 to begin receiving your pet’s important reminders again. 🐾

🐾 More Ways to Stay Connected

💬 Text Us!
Did you know you can text your hospital’s regular phone number? If you’re unable to call, simply send us a text, and our team can communicate with you that way during normal business hours.
