Meet Dolly! ❤ This sweet girl found some delicious rocks to play with. 🤭 Thanks to some quick thinking by her owner, she was rushed to our hospital, and our skilled emergency team removed the rocks using an endoscope. That meant she didn't have to have invasive surgery, and Dolly was recovering at home in no time!

“I have been going to Family Pet Animal Hospital since I moved to Chicago. The staff is always so kind, patient, and educational—things that are important to me as an anxious cat mom! All the veterinarians are incredible and care for my cat like one of their own. I have moved around the city, but always keep Juno (my cat) at FPAH because they always take the time to talk to me through what is going on, follow up regularly, and answer any questions I may have.” — Morgan G. from Family Pet Animal Hospital, a Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner in Chicago

“Dr. Basilio and the staff at Thrive Pet Healthcare saved my dogs life! I cannot thank them enough, they were absolutely amazing! My dog had kennel cough, which quickly turned into double pneumonia and sepsis. Dr. Basilio was quick to come up with a treatment plan and told me we needed to act quick because he didn’t look good. She was kind, patient, and understanding with me. Dr. Basilio’s quick actions saved Lupo and he has made an incredible comeback! He’s still on the mend, but he looks better every day!
If you ever have a pet emergency, please bring them to Thrive Pet Healthcare! They are the ultimate professionals! Thank you so much!!” — Pasquale on his experience at Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists - San Antonio

🍗 🍂 As we gather for holiday feasts, it’s tempting to share our plates with our pets. However, overfeeding or giving pets rich holiday foods can lead to weight gain, digestive issues, or even more serious health problems. Let’s keep them healthy and happy this holiday season! 💙

“I can't thank the team at Elk Grove Veterinary Specialty & Emergency enough. I called on a Sunday morning after seeing something alarming with my dog. The entire team was very kind, caring, and loving toward my dog, Gordon. Adrienne even brought a bed in so Gordon could be comfortable while we waited for his test results. Obviously no pet owner wants to need emergency services for their furry family member, but if the need arises I absolutely recommend Elk Grove Veterinary Specialty & Emergency. Staff even followed up with us, and when I was unsure about his symptoms after his visit, they took the time again to check with the vet and provide me options. Happy to report Gordon is on the mend and feeling much better. Thank you!” — Gabriella D. on her experience at Elk Grove Veterinary Specialty and Emergency

cancer is a leading cause of illness in pets, but early detection can make all the difference. Staying alert for symptoms and acting quickly can significantly improve your pet’s chances of recovery. Spotting the signs sooner allows for timely treatment and a better quality of life.

Remember, it’s important to have pet insurance early in your pet's life so a cancer diagnosis is not considered a pre-existing condition.

Let’s spread awareness and help keep our pets healthy and happy! 🐕 🐈 💙
