How to Save Money at Thrive Pet Healthcare Specialists - Hoffman Estates
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.

As someone who has seen and dealt with emergency vets a lot since getting my wonderful French bulldog, sushi, 5 years ago, I thought I knew what to expect when walking into Thrive. This place exceeded all preconceived notions on what an ER vet is and can be. Everyone was so nice and warm and helpful. As busy as they were, we were seen quickly and efficiently and the plan for treatment was in place within 30 min of being there. They were able to diagnose and treat my sushi baby and saved her life. I will be forever grateful and a customer for life. Thank you thrive!

I had the most amazing experience with my first visit to Thrive! I saw Dr. Cochran in the neurology department for my pup. I was so nervous for the appt and he was beyond wonderful. I walked out with no questions, I felt so much better about my girls situation, he put me at ease, he gave me options and explained everything so thoroughly. I would recommend Dr. Cochran to anyone that needs to bring their pet to see a neurologist! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Please do your own research and ask for the test numbers of your pet if your pet is in overnight care. Thrive knows the money paid to keep my Opal on what was essentially life support is TAINTED. Everyday they will tell you that they are "resting comfortably" (see below), but it is nothing more than to give you hope that your pet will come home to you. They knew my Opal was on her last days but they wanted to get every last penny out of us. See attached for what they mean by "resting comfortably"

We are so happy to have found Dr. Wirth and her nurse Becky. They are very personable and easy to talk with. I usually have many questions and have always gotten great information from both of them. Our little pal just started his chemo treatment Monday, 2nd one will be today. So far so good. We were given all the options that are available and feel confident that we have made the best choice for all of us. The hospital is spotless, there has never been more than maybe 5-10 minute wait. We are pleased. Jett is happy to see his ladies and that makes us happy too. I highly recommend them and their caring and expertise.

Dr Katz and his whole team and staff did an amazing life saving surgery for my dog, they were not biased or treated my dog any different because his breed as I’ve seen before because his breed. My pet needed a small intestine obstruction surgery he was very thorough as to what he was going to do. He was very transparent on the risks versus the reward and he didn’t once make me feel uncomfortable with leaving my pet in his care, especially when he needed to stay there overnight as well. They would answer every time I would check on my dog, and never once acted annoyed or anything. They all understand that your dog is like your kid and they’re there to tell you every step of the way on how they are doing when you don’t have them with you. I can go on with a bunch of wonderful things to say, but in the end dr Katz and his team did an incredible job on his surgery over all and his incision site looks absolutely wonderful! Now he can continue on to live his best life :)
