Its Spring Garden location features two veterinarians and a professional team of highly talented staff members. The clinic features six exam rooms dedicated to providing veterinary medicine and quality client services. The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Thrive Pet Healthcare Spring Garden practice’s manager is Lynn Shelton. The practice staged its grand opening on April 15.
