How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists Miami

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

Had a little scare with my own pup, Cooper this morning. I didn't not hesitate to rush him to Thrive Pet Healthcare Miami. I knew he would be in the BEST hands. 🙌 He's doing well and resting. He was very grateful for all the kisses and belly rubs from the whole team 🐶 💚💙 Thank you very much for the top-notch care. Amazing experience, great nurses and amazing doctors!

I do not recommend this place for an emergency. I took my beloved Yorkie there with a severe blood loss, she needed urgent medical attention, and instead of examine her and give her the proper care, they spend so long going through the price estimates, and asked me to pay in advance. They took her in and I was not able to see her. They didn't even call me for an update later that night, I had to be the one calling them. When I went to pick her up in the morning, the doctor was not even there, my dog was not in a good state, she was still bleeding, they claim they did a blood transfusion but her blood results claimed other wise. I waisted more than 2300$ that night. Will never bring her there again.

If your dog is in dire need of care, do NOT send them here. I experienced the heartbreaking loss of my beautiful 10 month old Bully because of their neglect and carelessness. My dog had a respiratory virus where she was super sick, had troubles breathing, and hadn’t drank water or eaten. As soon as I brought her in, the veterinarian looked at me in disgust and said “first of all, why is your dog so overweight?” Which was not true as she was a very strong and healthy bully- all muscle, no fat. My dog and I were waiting in the room for their care for over an hour until I opened up a credit card because they forced me to pay $3200 before care even took place. Even though it was an EMERGENCY. I was waiting and waiting, wondering why my dog was not being seen, only until my credit card was approved did they come see her. After leaving my dog in their care, they called me and hour and a half (around 7:30pm) after taking her in saying they finally gave her fluids. I called again around 10:30pm to hear updates, to learn her breathing had gotten worse. Then at 2:30am they called, bluntly asking, “So I’m just calling to ask, if you had to make a decision on Lila… what would that be.” I was completely confused and asked what they meant by “a decision”, and what decision I had to make for my dog, given they had no explanation for what they called for. After asking multiple times what that meant, they said “well, Lila went into cardiac arrest and passed away.” So there was no decision to make. I was left with a bill of $2800 for them to neglect my dog, and only give her an IV for treatment, which was given 3 hours after we entered the hospital. I’ve had to deal with the heartbreak of losing my daughter due to neglect and carelessness, and left with a new credit card of $2800 that I’ve had to struggle to pay for. I hope this never happens to anyone and their loved ones, and seeing their other reviews, they should be shut down. ALSO when I came to pick up her ashes, the people at the front desk (as I was crying) were cracking jokes behind the desk and couldn’t even act professional or sympathetic for 2 minutes while i painstakingly picked up my daughters remains. From the bottom of my heart, I hope these people find a different career where they never have to care for any other living beings. They are absolutely cruel. (First photo is a week prior vs when she went in for care)

Found an older stray chihuahua that seemed to need some medical attention. I found Thrive while searching for an emergency vet near me. I called on the phone and they were really nice and confirmed that they could check the dog for a microchip. Once I arrived they confirmed that the dog did not have a chip and I left. Less then 5 minutes after we drove off the dog had a wound that started bleeding. We immediately returned and they were able to give the dog an evaluation and treatment plan to get her through the night. They addressed any critical wounds she had for a reasonable price. They were kind, professional and efficient.

My dog ate some rat poison and I'm so grateful for Thrive and the 24 hour emergency care! They treated me fur baby and he is doing great! The staff and vets were very friendly and supportive. I highly recommend them.
