Thrive Pet Healthcare - Shadow Creek

Hello Shadow Creek family, We wanted to inform you about the days when our clinic won't have a doctor available. However, we will still be open from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm on those days for medication pick-ups and scheduling appointments. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please remember that our clinic is closed on Sundays, and we are open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm from Monday to Friday on the days we have a Veterinarian. We would be delighted to see you during our operating hours. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 281-204-2690. Our team is always ready to assist you. Thank you for being a part of our community! 💚

Our pets can’t tell us when they’re experiencing pain and discomfort, so ensuring they’re checked routinely from nose to tail can help them live longer, fuller lives. 💚 This includes diagnostic testing, which is needed ahead of dental cleanings and can be done as part of their annual wellness exam. Testing healthy pets’ blood and urine also provides baseline values to compare to as they age, while f***l testing helps detect intestinal parasites that live and thrive in your pet's gastrointestinal tract. Like with regular testing, a baseline allows us to detect changes and illness before ever seeing outward signs of disease. 🔬

Have you recently welcomed a new pet into your home, or are you preparing for a new pet? There’s a lot to think about when it comes to making sure they’re set up with everything they need, from bedding and toys to ID tags and a pet-proofed home. One essential task to consider is getting them established with a vet as soon as possible. Booking a wellness visit with a vet will ensure they’re healthy, started on all the required vaccine schedules, protected against heartworm, fleas, and ticks, and gives you a chance to learn more about your new companion. 🐶 💚 🐱

New and experienced pet owners alike often ask their vet, "Why does my healthy pet need an annual wellness exam?" While many of us have a good understanding of illness symptoms that signal a vet visit, routine checkups outside of sick visits are just as essential for helping your pet live a long and happy life with you.
