How to Save Money at Thrive Pet Healthcare
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.
Reviews from Google
Dr. Kahn and staff are terrific! Facility is modern and clean. Quick scheduling system and it is easy to get in touch with staff if need arises. I stopped going to this location only because a new location opened closer to my home (and I’m extremely happy with Orlando’s location also). I do miss Ashley, one of the tech supports who goes above and beyond to provide excellent care! She’s the BEST!

Finally found a local and affordable vet. Everyone who works there is very polite. I did catch a small mistake after checkout but they got that fixed right away. Very appreciative for taking care of my pup! I Definitely recommend coming here.

I was beyond pleased with the service by the staff and care shown for my cat here! It was night and day compared to past experiences. So happy to be working with them now and relieved to have had such a great conversation with the professionals.

We have had positive experiences with Thrive. There is one staff that is so friendly to us all the time. We absolutely love her and how she is with our pup who is a very shy/timid boy. The other lady that checks us out always acts like she doesn’t want to interact. Very short verbally and not personable at all. 9/10 would recommend

Always a good time here. If my dogs give it the seal of approval I will too. My pups love coming to the vet, it's the place where they get so much treats and pets and kisses. 😂
