Their Stories

See what our fantastic clients are saying about Thrive Vet Care.

Airdrie Animal Clinic (now Thrive) were incredibly kind and well priced. When we had to put down our family dog they were supportive and gave her a dignified passing. They also saved some of her fur and took her paw prints for us to keep. Although a difficult experience, we were touched by how thoughtful they were. We will bring our other fur babies in the future.
My cat got an eye infection and our regular vet didn’t have an opening quick enough. We got to see Dr Megan who was so wonderful with Fluffy. Everybody was wonderful, and we even got a follow up call to see if everything was ok. I highly recommend this clinic!
Dr. Meghan was amazing! Tessa really liked her, she is kind and gentle. And you can tell she has a genuine passion for animals. Highly recommend!
I loved coming here, everything about it was very inviting. When I brought Mork in the Vet and Vet techs were incredibly kind and really took their time explaining things. Mork was pretty beat by the end of the day. But I'm so glad I took him there.
All staff are very friendly and polite. Great prices (exam, food and medications). Were very accommodating when both of my dogs needed to be seen (the appt was originally only for 1 of them). Clinic location is easy to get to and very nice inside. Also I love Rhubarb the office cat.

Exotic and pocket pets typically refer to a variety of small, non-traditional domestic animals kept as pets, which are distinct from common household pets like dogs and cats. Here’s a breakdown:

Exotic Pets: This category includes a broad range of animals that are not commonly domesticated. It often encompasses:

  • Reptiles: Such as snakes, lizards, and tortoises.
  • Birds: Including parrots, canaries, and exotic finches.
  • Small Mammals: Like ferrets, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders.
  • Aquatic Pets: Such as exotic fish and amphibians like frogs and salamanders.
  • Invertebrates: Including tarantulas and certain types of insects.

 

Pocket Pets: These are small mammals that can literally fit into your pocket or easily be held in your hands, making them quite portable. Common examples include:

  • Rodents: Such as hamsters, gerbils, mice, and rats.
  • Small Rabbits: Often considered pocket pets due to their smaller size compared to larger rabbit breeds.
  • Guinea Pigs: Known for their docile nature and minimal space requirements.

Both exotic and pocket pets require specific care, diets, and living environments that cater to their unique needs, often differing significantly from those of more traditional pets.
