Hey guys! Unfortunately, we are having to make some changes to our normal schedule due to our current staffing situation, and we just wanted to give everyone a head’s up

*We will be closed on all Saturdays in June.
*We will have someone in the office to process boarding drop-offs and pick-ups from 9:00am – 10:00am only on those Saturdays, but we will not be doing any veterinary services or walk-in technician services. No one will be available to answer phones.
*We will be closing early on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 5:30pm**
*We are not doing daycare on Mondays or Fridays, and limited daycare Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (only 15 daycare patients).
*We will not be doing any baths until further notice!
*Our front office is extremely short staffed. To avoid wait times on phone calls, we would recommend reaching out via text or email. You can text us at 865-401-9966 or email us at [email protected] and we will get back to you as quickly as we can.
*If you have any emergencies, contact the Animal Emergency and Specialty Center at 865-693-4440 or The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine at 865-974-8387
*This is all temporary!! We know and understand that this is inconvenient!! We really appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we navigate this unique situation. We are doing the best for our clients/patients as well as our staff!
Thank you all for being patient and working with us!
