Tracy Hartet

My precious dog was mauled by 3 stray dogs and received severe injuries. We rushed her to Thrive Pet Healthcare and they immediately started emergency services. She received excellent care and I'm happy to say she is recovering well.

Wally, our 15 year old cat, began having breathing issues late on a Sunday afternoon. From the moment we walked into Thrive, the staff was incredibly compassionate and attentive. They took time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and treated Wally with genuine care and respect. The facility was clean, modern, and well organized. We met with Dr. Ready. She clearly understood that Wally was family, and we wanted to ensure he was comfortable. We made the decision to have Wally stay overnight for diagnostics and to benefit from an oxygen kennel. The next morning, Thrive sent the diagnostic information to Wally's primary vet to ensure everyone was on the same page. We returned to Thrive, and met with Dr. Montgomery to review Wally's test results. Our guy was not doing well. Dr. Montgomery gently and patiently walked us through our options. Wallace Albie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 12.22.25, calmly, comfortably and surrounded by family that loves him dearly. The folks at Thrive showed the utmost respect, kindness, and professionalism during one of the most difficult moments in a pet family's life. We are truly grateful, and I highly recommend Thrive without hesitation... exceptional care.

Writing this after getting 2 different 2nd opinions and 2 days after my visit. Arrived with my 20 week old puppy. She was vomiting and having trouble going to the bathroom. I (first time puppy owner) didn't know what to do and went to her vet. Friday (11/27)- noticed accident and took my puppy that morning. Vet said we recommend anti-nausea and water for rest. If worse, come back to go to pet hospital. No x-rays taken. Parvo test was negative. Saturday (11/28)- I had to come to this hospital since the accident was worse this time. The front desk ladies where sweet. Nurse was good. Doctor came is and immediately wanted to take x-rays to see (understandable). Once she came back and $800 later, she came back and said there's was gas and a "very small unknown item not causing blockage". She wanted an additional $1,600 to hold over night with new x-rays. If no change, then surgery with an additional $3,800 price tag. Once I told them I want to get a second opinion, the doctor started guilt tripping me to the negatives of not acting now, which they were just gonna put her in a cage and wait anyway. Wasted time. Also wanted me to take a line of credit for it. Left and went to another vet i found that works weekends and also made a call to another office. Both said to feed pumpkin with water and watch her. Puppy napped for 12 hours and woke up to eat pumpkin. She lost a tooth. The 2nd vet said since she is teething nausea is normal and matches what I am seeing. Now its Sunday (11/30) and she's back to her normal sell. Barking and chasing toys loving everyone, just teething. This place wanted me to take a loan for teething side effects. Clearly unprofessional and untrained.

Cat CT scan for chronic sinusitis And now ataxia so we wanted to find out If either of these things can be helped Expensive yes But it's a very technical and specialized expertise. If you want these things available when you need them (you never expect to need it) you have got to be willing to pay for it as needed Dr BASILLIO was the utmost professional and Instills confidence and calm. I think the vet techs office staff have a difficult job as this is a 24/7 emergency room along with all the oncology and scans. They literally have to read for anything. I believe they are essential to this place and hope they are shown appreciation

I was referred here by town and country vet hospital. These people saved my cat’s life and looked over him as if he was their own. He was seen by town and country Friday for a pee blockage. And my cat was recommended to continue supervised care at thrive for the next two days. Thrive gave me constant updates and always made me feel welcome. Worth every cent. Thank you all for saving my life as well. My son is back home and thriving!
