LILY THOMAS

Our exceptional practice manager, Lily, is an experienced vet nurse with three long-term nursing positions in both mixed and small animal clinics. She brings a wealth of experience to MRAH and has overseen a huge period of growth since joining us in early 2022.

​

Lily is continuously studying to stay on top of the latest developments in the animal care industry, especially in behaviour modification. She’s an approved mindDog trainer and a provisional member of the Pet Professional Guild Australia and runs Lily & Co Dog Training. She teaches positive, force-free training methods to both our staff and clients to optimise the stress-free approach we use. Dr Leanne and Lily work together do behaviour assistance consults and Lily teaches our puppy school.

​

Having completed her Veterinary Nursing Certificate IV as well as her Equine Studies Certificate II and numerous dental, behaviour and nutrition courses, Lily is one of our senior nurses. She supports our vets with behaviour assessments and complex dental procedures. She’s also responsible for training our team of nurses, as well as overseeing all the admin required to run a vet hospital.

​

Even on weekends, Lily is still working with pets. She runs Lily & Co for individual dog training, behaviour modification sessions and group puppy school. She’s recently moved to a larger property and is busy populating it with her own dogs (6 at last count – Pookie, Sambo, Carter, Sponge, Caesar & Elkie), cats (Peaches & Draco), horses, cows, guinea pigs and a LOT of chickens (she’s passionate about poultry husbandry and shows!).
