About
Nashville Animal House is owned and operated by Dr. Catrina Herd, who, according to the website, purchased Animal House Veterinary Clinic in 2011 after working as a veterinarian for Williamson County Animal Control. Dr. Herd brings 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine to the practice. The clinic’s stated mission centers on accessibility, “making sure quality veterinary care was as accessible as possible to pet parents in the greater Nashville community.”
The team describes itself as “dedicated to providing skilled, affordable, and compassionate urgent and wellness care,” and summarizes its core principle as “We treat every patient like our own pet.” The clinic emphasizes its status as an independent practice that will continue to provide affordable care for pets.
The walk-in-only policy means patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. The website notes that a typical visit lasts 45 minutes to an hour at the clinic, possibly longer for more serious conditions.

Additional Information
The clinic combines a walk-in clinic with a surgery center, with Tuesdays reserved for scheduled surgical procedures. Its website includes sections for About Us, Services, Resources, New Clients, News, and Contact. An online pharmacy is available for clients, and the clinic highlights affordable, compassionate care as a central part of its independent, woman-owned practice.
Because the clinic operates on a first-come, first-served walk-in model, the website advises that patients are seen in the order they arrive, and that wait times can vary with demand. Surgery is concentrated on Tuesdays by appointment, while general clinic hours run on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons and evenings. The clinic’s range of in-house diagnostic tools, including radiology, ultrasound, and a laboratory, allows it to handle many tests and imaging needs on site rather than referring them out. Beyond routine wellness visits, vaccinations, and dental care, the practice offers hospice and euthanasia services for end-of-life care, and it treats a broad list of exotic species in addition to cats and dogs. The clinic’s bilingual English and Spanish service and its stated commitment to affordable care reflect its mission of keeping veterinary care accessible to pet owners across the greater Nashville community. Prospective clients are directed to the New Clients section of the website and can reach the clinic by phone or email to learn more before visiting.
