Introducing The Urban Pet: A New Chapter in High-Quality Veterinary Care

We are thrilled to introduce ourselves as The Urban Pet, formerly known as Animal Hospital of West Nashville. As a staple of Tennessee's veterinary landscape, our practice has a rich history of providing compassionate, empathetic, and high-quality care for pets and their families. Our dedication to preserving the legacy of this long-standing institution, combined with our commitment to staying at the forefront of advancements in veterinary medicine, has led to the exciting transformation of our practice into The Urban Pet. We remain devoted to our core principles and are proud to continue providing exceptional care for your beloved pets.

Comprehensive Services for Cats and Dogs

At The Urban Pet, we offer an extensive range of services for both cats and dogs, encompassing every stage of their lives. From preventative care and vaccinations to addressing sick or injured pets, dental care, surgery, allergies, and dermatology, our experienced and caring veterinary team is here to provide personalized attention and tailored care for every individual pet and their human family.

For your convenience, we maintain an in-house pharmacy, well-stocked with prescriptions for when you need them most, as well as a user-friendly online pharmacy for managing maintenance medications. By offering these resources, we aim to make your pet's healthcare journey as seamless as possible.

Preventative and Wellness Care

At the heart of our practice is the belief that preventative care is the foundation of long-term health and well-being for pets. Our veterinary team is dedicated to working closely with you to develop a proactive wellness plan that addresses your pet's unique needs, ensuring they remain happy and healthy for years to come. We provide comprehensive wellness examinations, individualized vaccination schedules, parasite prevention, and nutrition counseling to give your pet the best possible start in life.

Dental Care

Oral health is an essential component of your pet's overall well-being, and our team at The Urban Pet understands the importance of maintaining clean and healthy teeth and gums. Our dental services include comprehensive dental examinations, cleanings, digital dental radiographs, and, when necessary, extractions and advanced dental procedures. We are committed to providing the highest standard of dental care to ensure your pet's comfort, health, and longevity.

Surgery and Advanced Procedures

When your pet requires surgery or advanced medical procedures, you can trust our skilled and experienced team to provide compassionate, state-of-the-art care. Our surgical suite is equipped with advanced monitoring equipment, and we adhere to stringent surgical protocols to ensure your pet's safety and comfort throughout their procedure. We offer a wide range of soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, as well as specialized diagnostic and therapeutic services, such as endoscopy, ultrasound, and laser therapy.

Allergies and Dermatology

Allergies and skin conditions can significantly impact your pet's quality of life, which is why our team at The Urban Pet places a strong emphasis on diagnosing and treating these issues effectively. We offer comprehensive dermatological services, including allergy testing, intradermal allergy testing, and desensitization therapy, to help your pet find relief from discomfort and live a healthier, happier life.

Sick and Injured Pet Care

Our team at The Urban Pet understands that a sick or injured pet can be a source of immense worry and stress for their human family. We are here to provide compassionate, expert care when your pet needs it most. Whether your pet requires immediate attention for an emergency or ongoing care for a chronic condition, our experienced veterinary team will work closely with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your pet's unique needs.

After-Hours Care and Emergency Services

We know that emergencies don't always occur during regular business hours. For after-hours care, our team is proud to refer you to local 24-hour veterinary services, ensuring your pet receives the immediate attention they need in the event of an emergency.

Snake Antivenom: Prepared for Emergencies

At The Urban Pet, we are well-equipped to handle snake bites, a common occurrence-especially during warmer months. Our practice maintains antivenom in stock, suitable for treating cats, dogs, and horses, to ensure your pet receives rapid, effective care in the event of a snake bite.

Heartworm Prevention: A Top Priority

Our team at The Urban Pet recognizes the importance of heartworm prevention for dogs, as heartworm disease can be fatal if left untreated. We are dedicated to educating our clients about heartworm prevention, heartworm medications, and other crucial steps to protect your beloved dog from this life-threatening condition.

The ABCs of Dental Cleaning for Pets

At The Urban Pet, we understand the value of providing the highest standard of care for your furry family members. While many pet owners prioritize their pets' dental health, some may not fully comprehend its importance. Our team is committed to raising awareness about the significance of good dental care and its impact on your pet's overall well-being.
