Where Pets Come First

Paws & Claws Veterinary Clinic was founded by Dr. Sarah Mitchell, DVM, with one guiding principle: every pet deserves the same quality of care we'd want for our own. Our state-of-the-art Nashville facility combines advanced diagnostic technology with a warm, fear-free environment designed to put both pets and their people at ease.

From routine wellness exams to complex surgical procedures, our team of four veterinarians and twelve support staff members brings decades of combined experience and a genuine love for animals to every interaction. We treat dogs, cats, rabbits, and small exotic pets.

What Pet Parents Say

Dr. Mitchell and her team took incredible care of our senior lab when he needed emergency surgery. They kept us informed every step of the way, and the follow-up care was exceptional. Our boy is thriving thanks to them.

Amanda & Jason Rivera

We've tried several vets in Nashville, and Paws & Claws is by far the best. The Fear Free approach makes such a difference — our anxious rescue cat actually stays calm during visits now. The staff is so patient and kind.

Brittany Hayes

From our puppy's first vaccines to our older dog's dental surgery, Paws & Claws has been there for our whole pack. They genuinely care about our animals and it shows in everything they do.
