The Animal Health Center of Franklin exclusively sees cats and dogs. We're pleased to offer the following services:
Preventive care
From new puppy or kitten visits to geriatric pet care, our team is here to provide wellness care for all life stages. Wellness care consists of annual physical examination, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and nutritional assessment. Screening lab work such as heartworm tests, fecal analysis, and blood work are offered during annual wellness exams to identify the presence of underlying disease and intervene with treatment as soon as possible.
Emergency & Urgent Care
Emergencies are accepted any time our clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet after hours please call us at 615-794-5007. After hours you will reach a recording that will give the option to have your call forwarded directly to Dr. Woody or give you the listings of local emergency clinics and their numbers. We have an established relationship with Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners, Nashville Veterinary Specialists, and Veterinary Emergency Group. You can feel comfortable taking your beloved pet to any of these locations for emergency care.
Dentistry
The best way to prevent dental disease is to brush your pet’s teeth every day, but we know that this recommendation is not feasible for every pet and pet owner. We offer dental cleanings with an ultrasonic scaler and any necessary dental extractions with your pet under general anesthesia. Patients are strictly monitored while under anesthesia by a licensed veterinary technician.
Surgery
Our practice utilizes a surgical CO2 laser for majority of our surgical procedures which reduces bleeding, minimizes pain, and accelerates healing time. Our doctors are equipped to perform a variety of soft tissue surgeries including spays, neuters, mass removals, C-sections, splenectomies, stomach or intestinal foreign body removal, and more. Surgery patients are strictly monitored while under anesthesia by a licensed veterinary technician.
We offer in-clinic diagnostic imaging such as X-ray and ultrasound.
Internal Medicine
Our doctors manage cases involving gastroenterology, cardiology, endocrinology, dermatology, ophthalmology, neurology, and oncology.
Alternative therapies
Our practice has a class IV laser which is a non-invasive treatment option that targets damaged cells. Laser therapy results in decreased inflammation, decreased pain, and accelerated healing. Many conditions can benefit from laser therapy and it is frequently incorporated into our treatment plan for your pet.
Laboratory services
We offer several lab tests in-house for quicker results and intervention. Samples that require additional testing or interpretation are sent to IDEXX laboratories and results are communicated with owners as soon as possible upon completion.
Grooming and maintenance
We offer kennel baths, nail trims, and anal gland expression by appointment. Animal Health Center of Franklin also has three groomers on staff that provide full grooming services for dogs less than 30 pounds.
