He and his team provide mobile veterinary care for farm animals throughout Eastern CT and most of Rhode Island.  Their primary focus is pet and hobby livestock\, and also do home euthanasia for dogs and cats. Dr Thibeault is also certified in Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue.

She is originally from South Florida. After college she moved to Vermont and fell in love with New England.
