Our Veterinary Services
Regular wellness exams allow us to catch underlying health problems early, provide consistent preventative care, and support your pet’s overall health and well-being.
Our veterinarians are skilled in diagnosing common problems that affect our pets like vomiting, itching, lumps, limping, and more.
Vaccines are essential for preventive care and can increase the chances of a longer, happier life for pets. Ensuring that pets are consistently up to date with their vaccinations can help prevent contracting disease or help lessen the severity of symptoms if a disease is contracted.
Another key component of helping to maintain your pet’s health and happiness is having them on reliable, consistent heartworm preventative.
Heartworm disease is serious and potentially fatal to our dogs and cats. Heartworms are spread by mosquito bites and can grow up to a foot long, living in the heart and lungs of our beloved pets.
Fleas can cause itchy skin, skin infections, and spread tapeworms. Ticks can carry disease such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and more.
From routine cleanings to tooth extractions, the Thrive Pet Healthcare network of Primary Care veterinarians and Dental Specialists is here to keep your pet's smile fresh! Our general practices can take care of everyday dental maintenance with outstanding regular check-ins, cleanings, and basic surgeries.
Meanwhile, our specialty veterinarians are prepared to handle more complex or chronic dental cases like a root abscess, jaw fracture, abnormal tooth formation, or advanced periodontal disease. These doctors are highly trained within the field of veterinary dentistry and have access to specialized equipment, typically unavailable at primary care clinics.
Unless you intend to breed, we recommend having pets spayed or neutered. Pets that have been spayed or neutered tend to live longer and have healthier lives.
It's hard to provide care without knowing the root of what is ailing your pet, which is why diagnostic testing is so important. Diagnostic testing can include laboratory testing (blood, urine, and fecal) and diagnostic imaging like X–rays, CT, MRI, and ultrasound.
As pet parents, we dread the thought of our fur-children ever getting sick enough to require emergency care. Unfortunately, accidents and illnesses do occur, so our exceptional emergency care teams are here to help in your time of need.
We will be by your side during this time of need to offer both medical assistance and emotional support.
It’s never easy leaving your best furry friend behind when you take a trip, but thankfully you can feel calm and relaxed knowing they are in the safest of hands with our pet boarding and daycare teams.
Our facilities have a wide variety of comforts and specialties that you can add for your pet to enjoy during their stay! When you bring your pet to a Thrive Pet Care partner facility, you can rest easy knowing your pet is playing, interacting, and sleeping the day away until they're ready to greet you at the door again at the end of their stay.

It can be really tough to trust another person with your fur child - after all, you are the only person who truly understands your pet’s unique needs and behaviors. However, we hope as a national leader in pet healthcare, you can have confidence in our team’s commitment to care for your pet as if they were our own.
The occasional taps, scrapes, and scratches that happen when playing with your pet means it's time for a trip to your local veterinarian or boarding facility! Trimming your pet's nails is a healthy part of their life, and can lead to greater comfort in everyday activity.
Let's face it - the life of a pet can be pretty dirty. Playing in things and making a mess, self-grooming, and all the little things that our pets enjoy every day doesn't always make for a great smelling companion. That's why our Thrive Pet Care partner clinics offer bathing services to get your pet sweet smelling and sparkly clean!
Bathing specialists at Thrive Pet Care partner clinics know what it means to give a scared pet a bath too, as they're trained and prepared in keeping your pet calm, even when they don't like being clean. When your pet comes back out, you'll be glad they got a bath - and they will be too!
Unique pets require unique care and we’re here to help! Every exotic species has varying requirements for maintaining optimal health and well-being, so it is important that you’re working closely with a vet who has advanced knowledge and experience in the field.
Within our Thrive network, you will find veterinarians ready to partner with you to help maintain the health and well-being of your exotic pet. Encompassing the whole spectrum of animals from reptiles to pocket pets, aquatics to amphibians, find your go-to veterinarian for all your pet’s exotic needs.
