Cane got a little bit too excited when chewing on his tennis ball and swallowed it! The expert team at The Pet Hospitals Collierville determined through X-ray that the ball was in pieces and then helped him through two rounds of emesis to get the foreign bodies safely out. He’s now happy and healthy!

Why do we recommend f***l samples during exams?

F***l samples are a crucial part of a pet's health routine because they help detect intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. They can also help diagnose bacterial infections caused by protozoan parasites like Giardia and Coccidia, which can lead to digestive issues, weight loss, and even serious illness.

Some of these parasites can also be transmitted to humans, making regular testing essential for both pet and family health. Routine f***l exams are a simple yet powerful way to protect your pet.

Did you know that the veterinary profession in the U.S. is female-dominated? Recent studies in 2024 show that 87.3% of veterinary school applicants and 88% of veterinary technicians identified as women!

Today, Thrive celebrates International Women's Day! From saving lives to advocating for animal welfare, your dedication, compassion, and hard work make a world of difference. Thank you for your resilience, passion, and commitment to animals.

Happy International Women's Day!🐾❤️

“We had the BEST surprise! Bridgette, the resilient Bernedoodle who captured our hearts earlier this year, stopped by Thrive Pet Healthcare Hoffman Estates for a special holiday visit! 🥰 Seeing her happy, healthy, and thriving with her family was truly the ultimate gift.
Bridgette’s journey from critical condition to conquering life is nothing short of incredible. Back in February, she amazed us all with her strength, receiving eight blood transfusions and enduring emergency surgery to remove damaged intestines. Our team rallied to provide the round-the-clock care she needed, but her recovery wouldn’t have been possible without her devoted mom, Emily. ❤️
Fast forward to today, and Bridgette is living her best life—tail wags, snuggles, and all! This sweet girl’s visit was a heartwarming reminder of why we do what we do. 🌟
💌 Thank you, Emily, for letting us share in Bridgette’s journey and for trusting us during such a critical time. 🐶✨”

“Dr. Lopez and his staff truly are remarkable! I had to take my dog to the emergency vet and I couldn’t have been more satisfied than the care received. The facility is beautiful, clean, and very accessible. I did not have to wait at all to be checked in and given a room. The staff and doctor came in promptly. All procedures and costs were discussed up front as well as reasonable. Dr. Lopez explained everything very thoroughly and I really appreciate the amount of time he spent addressing all of my concerns. I cannot be more thankful for the services they provided my animal!” — Amanda R. from The PARC, a Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner in Fort Worth, TX

“My dog and I have moved around a lot, had seen at least 4 different vets. Since she was a puppy she always had sort of a scabby/ inflamed patch on her belly that she regularly licked. Each vet I saw related it to her licking and fungal issue and prescribed a topical treatment, which did help with the redness. I stopped thinking much about it over the years and just used the topical ointment when it got very red. However, when we moved to Elmhurst I took her to go see Dr. Jennifer Draca for a teeth cleaning. Within 12 seconds of a physical assessment, she figured out the actual issue with my dog’s red belly patch. It was a left-over stitch from when the rescue fixed her. This stitch was causing her so much discomfort for 8 years. She removed it during the teeth cleaning and per my request saved the cursed stitch for me in a tube. I am so grateful.” — Gabrielle V. from Thrive Pet Healthcare in Elmhurst, IL

“My elderly cat had a dental with Dr. Nyquist and the care that she received was really excellent. They were conscious of her other health issues and I felt so much better about her undergoing anesthesia with how knowledgeable and caring they were. Both Drs. Nyquist and Lesley the technician were great with communication and I appreciated the time they took to be thorough. Great care overall and I will be bringing my other ancient cat in for a dental with them as well.” — Audry H. from Heart of Texas Veterinary Specialty Center, a Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner in Round Rock, TX

“We had a wonderful experience visiting ACCESS. Dr. Emily Chapel and her team were wonderful. Kind, efficient and knowledgeable and they made our sweet pup, Selma, feel very safe and comfortable.

Kidney (or renal) disease is very common in dogs and cats, and it may be reversible or permanent based on underlying causes. The disease could be a result of age-related changes to the kidneys, acute injury or toxin ingestion, congenital defects present from birth, or in rare cases, a side effect of some medications. To prevent kidney disease or slow its progression, it's vital to stay regular with wellness visits so that together, we can monitor renal levels with blood work and urinalysis and catch any changes ASAP.

Pets can’t advocate for their needs like us humans can, and many owners fail to recognize signs of osteoarthritis (OA), often chalking it up to pets “slowing down with age.” OA is common in dogs and cats ages six and up, so to help champion their health, we’re sharing the key signs of this degenerative joint disease so that you know when it’s time to seek veterinary support. If your pet is . . .

• Struggling to climb up or down stairs
• Having trouble jumping up or down
• Slow to rise from a resting position
• Lagging behind on walks or during play
. . you should discuss these concerns with us. The good news is highly effective treatments exist to help manage the chronic pain associated with OA and increase their mobility. With the right pain management, your pet can get back to being themselves again! To learn more about OA and treatment options, visit: https://www.thrivepetcare.com/be-their-champion

Cyptopoint®: an injectable therapy that provides 4 to 8 weeks of allergy relief with a single in-office dose. ¹ Plus, for a limited time, get $25 off when you buy 2 doses of Cytopoint. ²

Warning:️ this post is about p**p! 💩 If you’ve ever wondered why you’re asked to bring in a f***l sample as part of your pet’s annual wellness exam, the answer is to check for intestinal parasites.

There are a variety of parasites that thrive inside of otherwise healthy pets, so having them routinely tested is essential to their well-being. Your pet's p**p will be checked for evidence of hookworms, roundworms, giardia, and more. 🔬
These parasites can not only make pets uncomfortable and irritable but can also lead to many more serious issues if left untreated. Several parasites can even be transmitted to people, so by having your pet’s f***s examined, you are protecting humans in your household, too!

To learn more about what intestinal parasites we test for in f***l exams, visit:

Check your pet for ticks every day, especially after they spend time outdoors. Run your fingers through your pet's fur with gentle pressure to feel for any small bumps. If you find a tick, it’s important to act quickly and safely. You can either try to remove the tick yourself or take your dog to your nearest pet urgent care or an emergency pet hospital for help.

If you choose to remove the tick from your dog, follow the steps below:

1) Use tweezers (or a tick remover instrument like a Tick Key) to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible, removing the whole head and body.
2) Pull the tick straight out with slow and steady pressure. (If the head of the tick is left in the skin, it can cause an infection and still transmit disease, so make sure the whole body is removed!)
3) Once the tick is removed, you can place it in a sealed container in case your vet wants to test it for diseases.
4) Clean the area of your dog’s skin with soap and water then apply a pet-safe antiseptic.
5) Contact us for advice on next steps. We may ask you to bring the tick in for testing.

Many of the diseases that parasites cause can spread from your pet to you and your family, too. Pests like and can crawl or hitch a ride into your home on shoes, clothing, or even on the fur of another pet. Itchy yet? Let’s talk pests:

🕷️ Ticks 🕷️
Not only are ticks a threat to our pets, but an estimated 476K Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year.* They aren’t just a warm weather issue, either: contrary to popular belief, ticks don’t die in the winter and do not hibernate, either. If you or your pet spend time in grassy or wooded areas, get in the habit of spot-checking yourself and them for these small, spider-like creatures after every outing. If you find one, pull it off carefully and intact, then call us.

🐜 Fleas 🐜
These teeny-tiny jumping parasites aren’t just annoying for the itchy rashes they cause in pets and people. Studies have shown that the plague is once again on the rise and that fleas are one of the culprits. Fleas can multiply and jump from host to host alarmingly fast, so if you catch your pet itching more than usual, have them checked for fleas ASAP.

that ONE bite from an infected mosquito is all it takes to transmit to your dog or cat? Scary, but true. Mosquitoes thrive all over the US, and not just during summer: different breeds are active throughout the year. 🦟

Treating disease caused by parasites in dogs can be complex and costly, and options are limited for cats. But there is good news: oral, injectable, or topical preventive medications are effective ways to protect your pet and are much more affordable than treatment itself, but *only* if your pet receives the recommended dose on a monthly or yearly basis. We can help find the right preventative for your pet based on their lifestyle and health needs, so don’t delay: book a visit today!
