Specialty Care

Cardiology is a branch of veterinary medicine concerned with diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to the heart. This includes a pet’s blood vessels, circulatory system, and sometimes their lungs. 

The heart is one of your pet’s most essential organs, continually pumping blood containing oxygen and nutrients to the rest of the body. In most heart-related problems, either damage or deterioration occurs to either the heart valves or heart muscles. 

No matter what type of heart problems your pet may have during their life, our Primary, Specialty, and Emergency Care teams have the skills and resources to help your pet have the highest quality of life possible through treatment and hands-on management.    

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. 

Skin problems in pets are one of the most common reasons for vet visits in the US. Oftentimes, signs like frequent itching, licking paws, hair loss, or red and inflamed skin alert pet parents to a potential skin condition. Dermatological problems can be incredibly uncomfortable for your pet, so it is important to not delay getting them checked out by your veterinarian. 

Skin problems may be the result of bacterial or fungal infections, parasites, allergies, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or immune system disorders. During your visit, your veterinarian will run some tests to diagnose the root of your pet’s issue and together, we will determine the best treatment strategy so he or she can Thrive again! 

The nervous system includes your pet’s brain, spinal cord, vertebrae, and peripheral nerves (the nerves that coordinate between their brain & the rest of the body). Any damage to these critical components of your pet’s body can lead to serious long-term consequences ranging from paralysis to even death if they are not tended to rapidly by skilled professionals.  

We are very lucky at Thrive to have some incredibly talented Veterinary Neurologists who not only work hard to diagnose and treat neurological disorders, but also focus on developing a trusting relationship with the pet’s family and routinely follow-up with their patients progress following discharge.  

When they enter our lives, pets truly become our children, and we don’t give up on family even with a cancer diagnosis. Thankfully the field of veterinary oncology has developed immensely in recent years, providing the option for human-grade therapies to be utilized in the treatments of our pets.  

We are honored at Thrive to partner with some of the best and brightest within this critical field who have led the way in veterinary cancer care innovation. Our network of incredibly talented veterinary oncology teams has saved thousands of lives and continue to frequently return happy and healthy pets to their urgently waiting human families.  

Ophthalmology is an incredibly niche field within veterinary medicine, and we are lucky to have a large nationwide network of talented eye-care specialists within our Thrive family. Our skilled Veterinary Ophthalmologists are equipped with innovative technologies and a collaborative environment that allows for continued medical advances in everything from glaucoma to corneal trauma.  

Chronic conditions of and acute damage to the bones, joints, and muscles is an extremely common cause for our pets experiencing a decline in quality of life. Specialty Orthopedic Veterinarians attend additional schooling and training to gain advanced knowledge and skills which enable them to tackle the causes of movement discomfort and immobility.  

Our network’s outstanding orthopedic doctors and surgeons utilize breakthrough research within the field to implement advanced therapies, surgical procedures, and innovative devices designed to help improve or conserve your pet’s mobility following traumatic accident, illness, or age-related conditions. 

Following an accident, injury, or illness, your pet may need additional professional assistance to help them recover to their optimum strength and mobility levels. In these cases, your pet will be referred to a specialized veterinary rehabilitation therapist who will work with you and your pet’s treatment team to facilitate the healing process, help manage pain, and improve mobility.  

At Thrive Pet Healthcare, veterinary surgeons work on a whole host of pet surgery needs. Some pets are referred to veterinary surgeons by their family vet, while others are treated during walk-in emergency cases like fractures, intense bleeding, and much more.   

These professionals have taken additional schooling, training, and testing to gain the skills and knowledge to perform surgery in many different areas of veterinary medicine so they are ready to tackle a vast array of cases that come through their surgical suite.   

Within the Thrive Pet Healthcare network, we have multiple veterinary hospitals across the country dedicated towards the care of more specialized species of animal. Our veterinarians at these specialty centers utilize the power of our network to effortlessly connect and collaborate with others within their niche field. This allows for faster innovation and adoption of medical techniques, opportunities for consultation on difficult cases, and an all-around superior care experience for both you and your animals.
