Nippers Corner Pet Medical Center

Nippers Corner Pet Medical Center is a veterinarian in Nashville, TN. Since 1999, the clinic has provided comprehensive veterinary care and urgent care to pets in the Nashville community and beyond. Its services include wellness and prevention, testing and diagnostics, advanced care, surgical procedures, and urgent care. Wellness and prevention covers routine nose-to-tail wellness exams and vaccinations, with schedules tailored to a pet's age, lifestyle, and risk factors. Testing and diagnostics includes blood and lab tests and digital radiography (X-rays) used to evaluate fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, dental disease, enlarged organs, and certain heart or respiratory concerns. Surgical procedures range from routine to advanced, and the team treats both dogs and cats. The clinic holds a 4.9-star Google rating. Veterinarians Abby Stephens, DVM, and McCall Lurie, DVM, are part of the team.

The practice describes its treatment philosophy as aimed at prevention, with early diagnosis and treatment, and it recommends routine check-ups with wellness assessments tailored to each pet's age, lifestyle, and health needs. Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines as their immune systems develop, followed by boosters throughout adulthood, and common vaccines for dogs include rabies and distemper. Annual blood and lab tests establish a normal baseline so results can be monitored over time, and the clinic notes that early detection improves treatment outcomes. Nippers Corner Pet Medical Center was named a 2025 Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave, was voted 2nd Best in Nashville by the Nashville Scene, and has been named Favorite Veterinarian and Favorite Dog Groomer on Nextdoor across 15 Nashville and Brentwood neighborhoods.
