Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

My love of animals first drew me to work as a veterinary assistant and eventually train to become an RVT. It was as I was learning to care for animals in this capacity that I realized that I wanted to learn and do more, so my attention turned to becoming a veterinarian. I have been fortunate to be able to use my education to care for dogs and cats for almost 35 years, 18 of those as a veterinarian. My transition from general practice to providing in home euthanasia stems from my belief that we owe our beloved pets, who have given us so much love and happiness, a peaceful transition of their own in familiar, loving surroundings.

We are so grateful to Dr. Thomas for her patience, kindmess, and compassion in helping our precious Bear-Bear cross the Rainbow Bridge. She made what was a heartbreaking decision for us as peaceful and lovely a moment as possible and gave us the time we needed to get through the process. Thank you so much, Lori!

Dr. Thomas was compassionate and caring during the entire process. Although it was a very sad situation I felt at peace at the end. My dog couldn’t have been in better hands. Thank you again Dr. Thomas for all you did for Cody and myself.

I am so happy with the help from Dr.Lori! She made our very difficult transition with our 23 yr old cat. She was very nice and loving! She even answered my call after she left to answer a question I was struggling with! Thankyou again Dr. Lori
