Thrive Pet Healthcare - Sicklerville

Regular wellness exams allow us to catch underlying health problems early, provide consistent preventative care, and support your pet’s overall health and well-being. 

Unless you intend to breed, we recommend having pets spayed or neutered. Pets that have been spayed or neutered tend to live longer and have healthier lives.

Vaccines are essential for preventive care and can increase the chances of a longer, happier life for pets. Ensuring that pets are consistently up to date with their vaccinations can help prevent contracting disease or help lessen the severity of symptoms if a disease is contracted.

Our veterinarians are skilled in diagnosing common problems that affect our pets like vomiting, itching, lumps, limping, and more. 

It's hard to provide care without knowing the root of what is ailing your pet, which is why diagnostic testing is so important. Diagnostic testing can include laboratory testing (blood, urine, and fecal) and diagnostic imaging like X–rays, CT, MRI, and ultrasound. 

From routine cleanings to tooth extractions, the Thrive Pet Healthcare network of Primary Care veterinarians and Dental Specialists is here to keep your pet's smile fresh! Our general practices can take care of everyday dental maintenance with outstanding regular check-ins, cleanings, and basic surgeries.

Meanwhile, our specialty veterinarians are prepared to handle more complex or chronic dental cases like a root abscess, jaw fracture, abnormal tooth formation, or advanced periodontal disease. These doctors are highly trained within the field of veterinary dentistry and have access to specialized equipment, typically unavailable at primary care clinics. 

Another key component of helping to maintain your pet’s health and happiness is having them on reliable flea, tick, and internal parasite preventatives. Parasite infestations can cause a variety of problems that all disrupt your pet’s ability to thrive, from a relentless itch to a life-threatening illness like Lyme Disease.  

Thankfully, prevention is easy! There are a wide range of medications and preventative products available that can help fight off these pesky parasites. Your veterinarian will happily be a source of information and professional advice when choosing which option best suits your pet’s unique needs and lifestyle.  

Our clinics offer nutrition consultations to help cut through the confusion and help find the proper food fit for your pet. 

The occasional taps, scrapes, and scratches that happen when playing with your pet means it's time for a trip to your local veterinarian or boarding facility! Trimming your pet's nails is a healthy part of their life, and can lead to greater comfort in everyday activity.

Microchip implants are about the size of a grain of rice and are administered like a vaccine with potentially no pain to little pain for your pet. This significantly increases the chances of a reunion should they ever go missing. 

Pets unfortunately tend to develop masses on or inside their skin. When these masses grow, they can sometimes create problems for your pet. Mass removals are intended to remove unwanted or dangerous growths from your pet. The goal of any mass removal is to remove the abnormal tissue so it cannot cause problems either by growing too large, damaging surrounding tissue or spreading to other places inside the body.

Often time we will recommend sending the removed tissue to our lab so our pathologists can look at the growth and determine if surgery was curative or if any other action needs to be taken. Many types of cancers in dogs and cats can be cured simply by being diligent about having your pet's masses examined and removed.

Another key component of helping to maintain your pet’s health and happiness is having them on reliable, consistent heartworm preventative.  

Heartworm disease is serious and potentially fatal to our dogs and cats. Heartworms are spread by mosquito bites and can grow up to a foot long, living in the heart and lungs of our beloved pets.  

A selection of routine surgeries can be performed as outpatient procedures by your Primary Care veterinarian, while pets requiring more complex procedures and specialized surgical techniques can be tended to at our Specialty Care hospitals.    

Our Primary Care clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art surgical suites and veterinarians who are heavily skilled at performing general routine surgeries like mass-removals, tooth extractions, fracture repair, and foreign-body removals. Thrive’s Specialty Hospitals have board-certified veterinary surgeons ready to tackle your pet’s advanced surgical needs. 

Fleas can cause itchy skin, skin infections, and spread tapeworms. Ticks can carry disease such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and more. 

We will be by your side during this time of need to offer both medical assistance and emotional support. 

Acupuncture has been used in human medicine for over 5,000 years and in animals for over 3,000 years. Properly administered by our highly trained veterinarians, acupuncture is one of the safest forms of medical treatment for pets suffering from a wide range of conditions.
