Sometimes it’s obvious when your pet needs immediate help. But sometimes they just seem “off.” That’s where our emergency vets in Franklin come in. From vomiting to complex surgeries, we treat emergency and urgent care needs for all kinds of pets—even avians and exotics! Discover the VEG difference, with our open floor plan hospitals, pet-parent participation, and an emergency-focused team that’s always ready to expect the unexpected.
Our Franklin pet emergency hospital is within minutes of Brentwood, Columbia, La Vergne, Smyrna, and approx. 20 minutes south of Nashville. VEG Franklin is located on Mallory Lane, between Cool Springs Blvd. and Mallory Station Rd.
Parking is conveniently at the front of the hospital with accessible parking spots. An accessibility ramp leads from the lot to our front door. If you need assistance getting your pet into the hospital, call ahead—one of our VEGgies will meet you at the door. Your pet will receive urgent vet care and you never have to leave their side.
