“Miracle Pet” Katie Inspires PurinaCare Insurance Services to Create Student Financial Award at Michigan State University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital

Michigan State University veterinary student and inaugural recipient of the PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance Celebration of Life scholarship award poses with award inspiration Katie, the medical miracle dog and PurinaCare President Dr. David Goodnight.

6 year old labrador Katie beat the odds and survived a rare spleen disorder and was named a "Miracle Dog" by Michigan State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. PurinaCare Pet Health Insurance covered 80% of her $18,000 vet bill and the incredible care she received inspired PurinaCare to create an annual student award to foster the education of future vets at MSU.
