      Our dog ***** passed away and we took his body to this clinic in ************. When we were in the room with him, they asked us if we wanted him cremated. We said yes. We would get his ashes and a plaster of his paw print. We found out later that they should have offered us a plaster of his paw print, cremate him, and provide an urn but they didn&#**;t discuss that with us.. We went to pick up his ashes and there was no plaster. They hardly even apologized for the error. No getting a plaster now. It cost $200.

      We have gotten a total of 3 rabies vaccinations for our service animal from the Thrive vet clinic.Now we are trying to relocate our service animal to ****** and we noticed none of the vaccines are signed and none of the vaccines have expiration dates. When we took the cards back in to get them properly filled out, they said oh, those Dr.s dont work here anymore and cannot fill out the cards, so we have to get all her vaccines again.The vet agency we are working with says they see this problem with Thrive all the time.

      Thrive has been charging me $14.95 on the 18th of every month since April 2022 for a pet membership fee. Upon, requesting that this membership be cancelled. I was told that I contractually agreed to a 12-month contract. However, the membership was presented verbally by an onsite vet assistant and at that time, it was not stated that the membership would be a minimus 12-month term and that there would be penalties for exiting the contract prior to the 12-months.When I attempted to cancel this month and was refused, I explained this to the thrive membership team and was again told. Regardless of the verbal communication provided by the vet assistant. I would not be able to have future payments cancelled. I then proceeded to let them know that is was a poor practice to mislead a customer and then tell them that there is no way out and that I would proceed to the BBB and file a complaint. I was then told I do apologize again for any misgiven information. I have sent your concerns over to management of the location you visited and will keep you posted on this concern and cancellation request. That was on August 15th. Our communication began on July 29th when I reached out. They did not respond back until August 12th and have dragged their feet intentionally in order to continue charging me in the meantime. I just received another charge today and still have no answer or solution on the misrepresentation of the membership and a proper cancellation being honored as result.The most recent Invoice # ******
