I can't even begin to say how grateful I am for Natchez Trace Veterinary Services.

They have been so helpful and kind. My dog needed a huge surgery done, so I took him to Natchez Trace for a 2nd opinion. They looked at my dog for that 2nd opinion and weren’t pushy at all. The Dr. even said since he isn’t board certified on that type of surgery (but he does it all the time) he could refer me to someone else if I wasn’t comfortable with him performing it. They saved me over $1000 by taking him to see them instead of the 1st Dr.

Dr. Marc is excellent!

I live in Sarasota now, but used him and have friends who continue to use his services in Nashville. The man is brilliant, kind and trustworthy. And if you “baby” your pets as much as I do, please know he is someone you can trust.

Marc and his staff were incredible.

I walked in this morning with our new puppy, thinking my wife made an appointment at this clinic (I was wrong) and unsure what the visit was about. Marc and his staff were incredible. Through all the confusion, me not really knowing why we needed a vet visit, and not being a client…. they set us up for future visits and were willing to give our dog a quick consult right then and there. Could not have made it more comfortable for me!  Thanks Marc!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment, or do you take walk-ins?

We kindly ask that you schedule an appointment so we can give your pet the dedicated time and attention they deserve. Our veterinarians carefully plan each visit to provide the most thorough, compassionate care possible. If your pet has an urgent need, please call us at 615-750-2248. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate you as quickly as possible within our schedule.

What should I bring to my pet's first visit?

After scheduling your appointment, you’ll receive an email with a link to an important form. Please complete it before your visit so our team can prepare and provide the best possible care for your pet. If your pet has seen another veterinarian, it’s very helpful to have their medical records emailed to us at [email protected] ahead of time. For annual exams, bringing a small stool sample (in a sealed ziplock bag) helps make the visit smoother and less stressful for your pet.

Do you offer payment plans or financing options?

We do not offer payment plans or in-house financing. Full payment is due at the time of service. We understand that unexpected expenses can arise and recommend planning ahead when possible. Our team is happy to provide treatment estimates before your visit so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.

Do you offer senior pet care?

Absolutely! Senior pet care is one of our specialties. We blend Eastern Medicine and Alternative therapies with traditional geriatric veterinary care to help aging pets stay comfortable, active, and full of life. From acupuncture and herbal therapy to nutrition and mobility support, our integrative approach helps your pet feel more like his or her youthful self.
