Formerly Emergency Pet Clinic San Antonio expands services, opens new location, and rebrands
March 7, 2024 (SAN ANTONIO, Texas) – Today,
Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists San Antonio, formerly Emergency Pet Clinic San Antonio, has expanded its services and moved to a new, state-of-the-art facility. This new location offers comprehensive medical care for pets under one roof, eliminating the need for pet owners to travel long distances for specialized veterinary services.
Addressing a Critical Need in San Antonio
San Antonio, despite being the 7th largest city in the U.S., has historically had less access to specialized pet care compared to much smaller cities. Pet owners were often forced to travel to Austin, a two-hour journey each way, for their pets’ critical medical needs.
“This is a game-changer for San Antonio pet owners who can now access emergency and specialty care in one convenient location,” said Michelle Crothers, Practice Manager for Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists San Antonio. “Thrive Pet Healthcare has made a significant investment in the San Antonio community, demonstrating their commitment to providing exceptional veterinary care for pets nationwide.”
“Our team has been the mainstay in San Antonio for uninterrupted and compassionate emergency veterinary care for over 30 years,” said Dr. Leslie Bauer, Medical Director at Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists San Antonio. “We are proud to be able to continue to lead the way in advancing veterinary medicine by adding specialty care to our services.”
Enhanced Care and Expertise
The new facility boasts significant upgrades, including:
Expanded services: Now offering board-certified, specialty care in neurology, cardiology and advanced diagnostic imaging alongside their existing emergency and critical care services, with plans to introduce surgery, oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology and internal medicine later in the year.
Advanced technology: State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, including digital radiology, ultrasound, MRI and CT scanners, for precise diagnosis and treatment.
Seamless collaboration: Specialists work closely with your pet’s primary care veterinarian to ensure a unified approach to your pet’s health.
Improved Comfort and Accessibility
The new facility is located at 2426 Ceegee Street, San Antonio, and offers:
Increased capacity: The new facility is four times larger than the previous hospital, with 30,000 square feet and 21 exam rooms and wheelchair accessibility, allowing them to accommodate more pets and families.
Convenient location: Less than a mile from the previous location on Broadway Street.
24/7 emergency services: The emergency and critical care departments will continue to be open around the clock, without need of referral for all dog, cat, reptile, pocket pet and avian emergencies. Staff will be available to accept patients starting at 4 p.m. today.
Weekday specialty appointments: Available by referral from your pet’s primary care veterinarian.
