Verified Veterinarian
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.

Dr. Lori Thomas was wonderful. She was communicative, patient, and supportive of our wishes. Helping our 13 year old Grey tabby, Zeus, cross the rainbow bridge was one of the most difficult decisions we had to endure, but the simplicity of scheduling the appointment on CodaPet and reading helpful articles on what to expect from the process helped immensely. We’re so glad we could help Zeus cross over in the comfort of our home. I would definitely recommend CodaPet.
I can't say enough about Dr.Thomas! The compassion, the calmness, her voice, her hands,her hugs. EVERYTHING was exactly what I envisioned with a Veterinarian. She made a very sad day a little brighter knowing my baby was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr.Thomas.
Dr. Lori was so comforting and compassionate. My wife was having the hardest time and Dr. Lori was such a great person to provide this service for us.
She's the BEST!! Dr. Thomas is so caring at this difficult time of our lives losing our beloved dog, Hershey (chocolate lab). Dr Thomas took care of Hershey since she was a little puppy up until her final time at our home where she peacefully went to sleep forever.
The service was really good for us. I was a little hesitant as I just wanted to get it over with asap. So glad I reached out to Dr. Lori Thomas. She was very professional and had a sincere caring side as well. Dr. Thomas was such a blessing in a difficult time. Thanks Doc, Greg
This was one of the hardest things I have had to do and Lori helped us through it she is understanding patient and kind throughout the whole process highly recommend her to help get you through your difficult time.
