An internship at Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital in Snohomish, Washington, was Dr. Thoms’ next stop for a year of intensive training in equine medicine, lameness, and surgery. She earned certification in Acupuncture (Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians) as well as Chiropractic (Options for Animals).

Dr. Thoms then moved to south Texas where she worked in mixed practices for a total of 7 years and at small animal general and emergency practices as a relief veterinarian for 4 years prior to becoming owner of Sinton Veterinary Clinic.

Dr. Petrus

Dr. Hannah Petrus grew up right here in Sinton, Texas on her family’s cattle ranch. While attending Sinton High School she played several sports including basketball, volleyball, and golf, showed goats, pigs, and steers in the FFA livestock shows, and went to state 4 years in row on the FFA milk judging team. Starting the summer following high school graduation, and then every summer for the next 6 years, Dr. Petrus shadowed at McCoy’s Veterinary Clinic which would later become Sinton Vet Clinic. Dr. Petrus attended Texas A&M University where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and a Certificate in Research in 2020. While getting her degree she also joined several clubs including the Texas A&M Water Ski Team, the Texas A&M Polo Club (the horse kind of polo not water polo), and the Biomedical Sciences Association of which she was eventually president. After earning her undergraduate degree, Dr. Petrus stayed in College Station to attend Vet School at Texas A&M and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2024 with her DVM. She has now moved back home to begin her career at the same place that initially inspired her love of animals and veterinary medicine. When not working Dr. Petrus enjoys reading, golfing, gardening, and spending time with her family on the ranch.
