Why Dr.Emily Thomas is not on Dr. Pol? What happened ! Did she left?
Dr. Emily Thomas has been the cast of the Nat Geo most popular reality show “The incredible Dr.Pol” for some time now. Since the debut in 2015, she made a team with Dr. Jan Pol and his amazing team rescuing animal around Weidman, Michigan.
Nat Geo’s reality TV show premiered on October 29, 2011, and the hit show is running in its twelveth season. It follows the work of Dr. Jan Pol and his amazing team as they rescue animals in Weidman, Michigan. However, one face that is missing with the beginning of the 12th season is the incredible Dr. Emily Thomas.
Dr. Emily Thomas left the show
Dr. Emily left the show because she was overworked, underpaid, and stressed out, reportedly. She had to work long hours, sometimes up to 14 hours a day, without proper breaks or compensation. She also had to balance her roles as a mother of three young children, a wife, and a reality TV star, which took a toll on her mental health. She developed depression and anxiety, and even had suicidal thoughts at one point.
Dr. Emily tried to cope with the situation by taking antidepressants, seeking therapy, and talking to her husband and friends, but nothing seemed to help. She realized that she needed to make a change for her own well-being and happiness, and that of her family. She decided to leave the show and the clinic after finding a new job opportunity in Virginia, where she could work in a more supportive and rewarding environment.
Dr. Emily seems to be happier and healthier in Virginia, where she works as a veterinarian at a small animal clinic.

Come back Dr. Emily when you are ready. Three young children are quite a responsibility but you and your husband seem to be a good team and will do more than well enough. My husband stayed home with our newborn and took care of him during the day while I worked. At night. It was my turn while he went to law school. When he started working, we found a wonderful neighbor (kind of) woman to care for him, by then 2 1/2, on work days. Forty years later, he is a fine young man, well-balanced and none the worse for wear. Good luck. Look forward to seeing you again!
We are missing you Dr Emily where are you
We miss you Dr. EMILY. Three children are a handful so, staying home is extremely important.
You are missed and we all look forward to your retur.
Dr. Emily,
I watch with great admiration, your work and care with the animals. Please stay with Dr. Pol. You are a staple for the practice, and I watch you DAILY taking care of the injured and sick animals. You are a HERO!!!
Sure do miss you. Your so caring and loving in your job. Congrats on your new baby

Dr Emily I miss you on the show I hope you come back if you could give us some indication as to when you are coming back if you’re coming back cuz you are missed I like seeing you on the show and your good vet
Dr Emily, I was a single mother of 3. I had to work and did just that 4-5 nights a week. Yet I never missed important times in their lives. Please please come back to the show. You are terribly missed
Dr Emily, Why are you leaving Dr Pol’s animal practise? Was there a problem there with the clinic or just wanted to move on. We are all so curious about htis recent event thats taking place in your life.
Dr Emily, could never understand how a lady with a marvelous personality could keep on living an extenuating life as veterinarian at Dr. Pol. A marvelous mom living more time at the job while having 3 children. Even makeup could not hide the tired woman that had to use all her energy proving your great desire to help our, your animal friends. Yes I miss every times you made me admire you ! I’m an old man that saw you as my daughter and I sincerely wish you to live happily in your work and your home happiness. Please take care xxx

Dr Emily, you are so cool under fire meaning in a tight situation such as doing a c section to save puppies and kittens. Your also so kind and pretty. Hope some how you can find your way back to doctor ppl or either star on your on show. Either way the public wants to see you.
Miss you, not as much as your husband and children. They are only young once so take it all in before it’s too late.
Dr Emily you will be sorely missed. I loved watching you on the show! May God richly bless you & your family.
Dr. Emily is a great vet dr. all the time she went the extra mile for the animals and did not give up. Even experimenting and with great results. I wish you and your lovely family well all the best for the future.
I really really liked Dr Emily, is so smart n kind to animals. I will miss her, nothing was to rough for her to take on. The episode where the little puppy had swimmers legs n came up with the solution to fix him, I was amazed. It goi,g to b a big loss.. Wish her the best with family n career. God bless, she was incredible.

You are definitely missed on the new episodes of Dr Poh. Your personality and kindness both to your patients and their owners are missed. I could always tell how much you cared for both.
God Bless you and your family.
So miss you Dr Emily. You made the show. Have a great life in Virginia.
Sure will miss you on the show. You will love Virginia and won’t have to work in all that bad weather in Michigan. Maybe you can have your own show like the young vet that moved from Florida to Texas. Smile. Good luck to you and your family.
Dr Emily, you are the best!!!! Loved watching you!!!
We will miss you on Dr. Pol. But you have to do what’s best for your family. U truly are a farm girl. There is no doubt about that. I have seen you do & be in situations most men and women would die before letting themselves get into. I admire you and your stamina. I was raised in the country around, animals and have no problem with manure , blood , vomit, puss , maggots and the like . I removed sutures numerous times both from animals and humans . Given animals vaccinations. I like you don’t give up. Keep up the good work.
Really enjoyed you on the show. You and Brenda are such an asset. PLEASE come back! I had 6 children and worked as a full time nurse. I know the pressures of working and holding down a job. You seem to have a very supportive and helpful husband. Maybe part time?. If not I wish you all the best and happiness.
Even though Dr. Emily left the show, you can still keep up with her through her blog. https://dremilythomasvet.com/by-request-our-wedding/

Dear Dr Emily, I’m waiting for the day that we all get to see you on your own show. You’re a brilliant veterinarian with a certain kind of kindness about you that none other has. Please sign the contract. We’re all waiting and wishing you well. Hope to see you in action again very soon. Patricia Haston. Sparta, Tennessee..
What can I say, you simply have it all. Your husband is very fortunate. Wish I could have known you then.
I’m really going to miss Dr.Emily. at the same time
Very happy for her if she is much happier where she is now. I wish her and her family the Best.
Hello Dr Emily ,I’m sorry you wont be on Dr Pol you will be missed so very much you have become part our family you and family ,I hope to hear how yall are doing as you you and your family start a new life God Bless y’all please keep in touch thank you for for sharing your lives with us
Dr. Emily I will miss you so much! You were the main reason I watched the show. Good luck in your new adventure and May God bless you and your family.
Enjoyed the show and will miss seeing you. However I am very happy you left if it meant having more time with your family. Being a young mom of 3 I could see how hard some of those calls were when you wrestled with large animals in all kinds of weather conditions. I can see the love and respect you have for animals or you wouldn’t have worked so hard to become a veterinarian. Congratulations on the move. I will truly miss seeing you on the show, as well as the many people who have beloved pets you have treated and saved.
Dear Dr. Emiiy,
Your “GREAT”. It’s not easy to move on. But you & the family will be very happy in time. It would be wonderful to see you on TV again.
God Bless you all & stay safe.
D’Litefully Caroline
that is pretty sad when being on t.v. pays more than your job as a vet .but vet prices are way out of line anyway they charge way to much yet they are always harping on keeping your pet healthy it is real hard to do when a simple vaccination is over 100 bucks in fact it cost more for you to go to the vet than it is for a human dr.
Dr. Emily, I was shocked to know you were leaving the Dr. Pol Show, but I understand your reasoning on why you did and who could blame you. You are truly amazing and incredibly talented. Thank you for allowing the tv viewers to share your hard work and veterinary life on Dr. Pol. I feel like I know you and I love you like a daughter. I wish you the best that life has to offer in the future.
Dr. Emily you are my hero. I understand why you went to a new pratice. All these women can say they worked with 3 children. Did they go and turn a cow over and stich there stomach, were they on call all night to to help deliver a calf? I get it, I worked nights when I had only one child and I was exhausted every day. So I miss you, but I get it. I’m happy you will have a balance in your life and y?our families life also.
I will truly miss you working in the mud, water or anything else to do whatever it takes to help the animals. Big or small.
I hope this will truly be what you want in.your career. I wish you the best for you and your family.
James
Sad to see you go. I truly missed your DPVS reality show vet practice. Wish you and your family the best.
Just saw a Dr. Pol show on tv and saw that you are now in Va. Welcome and good luck !
Dr. Emily, I grew up on a farm so your work wasn’t particularly exciting to me. My wife watches Dr. Pol’s show for the animals. I watched because of you! Because you’re HOT!
I miss you a lot Dr Emily you were one of my favorite reasons for watching the show. I am watching it right now but it’s just not the same without you. Good luck in your future endeavors I wish you all the best and your family too.
