“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

Weather Advisory this week!

Keep your pets inside and limit their potty breaks to deter hypothermia and frost bite. Also be sure to wipe off their paws if your walkways are heavily salted as this can lead to irritation between their toes and cause excessive licking/chewing.
Some breeds like huskies, Pyrenees, and other double-coated dogs may enjoy this weather and be more tolerant, but still limit their time outside as well to keep them safe.
Brachycephalic (or short-snouted) dogs should also have limited and monitored time outside as the cold can exacerbate any breathing problems they may have.

“It’s been a rough journey for Luca with her blepharitis. Over the months, I’ve visited every board-certified eye specialist in NYC, working tirelessly to treat her autoimmune blepharitis. We tried antibiotics, steroids, a biopsy, culture swabs, and every test they suggested. Despite spending thousands of dollars, I still felt hopeless and lost with her ongoing treatment.

Finding Dr. Wong for a second opinion was the silver lining in this challenging process. I finally feel relieved and confident in her treatment plan. Dr. Wong was incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. She listened attentively to Luca’s treatment history and thoughtfully suggested the best next steps for her. She took the time to patiently explain the reasoning behind her approach, ensuring I fully understood.

I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Wong. Her staff are also incredibly kind and welcoming. I highly, highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert care.” — Jiwon N. from Eye Care for Animals, a Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner in New York, NY
