Victoria W.

We have been using this place for years, from our first dog Oreo and now with Tucker. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and always takes good care of our doggies, we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Lori S.

I had a great experience boarding my senior dog Winston with Nippers Corner. I was very nervous to leave him as he is quite frail and old! I can tell he was so well cared for by the staff and I am incredibly grateful. Thank you for taking such good care of him!

Our Veterinary Services

Just like you bring your children to the doctor for checkups and when they feel sick, it’s important to give your pets the same care. Pets need regular checkups to make sure they stay happy and healthy, as well as ongoing services such as grooming and dental care. Sometimes they also need specialty services like microchipping or parasite control. There are other times when you need a cat or dog hospital for emergency pet care. Here at Nippers Corner Pet Medical Center, we strive to give the animals of Nashville, the best service possible to ensure they leave happy and healthy after every visit.

Judy L. Torchia, DVM

Veterinarian

From an early age, Dr. Judy Torchia dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. She developed a love of working with animals from growing up in a Wisconsin farming community and assisting at a veterinary hospital at the young age of 11. Many children have the same dream of working with animals, but Dr. Torchia followed through with her goals by attending the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and earning her degree in 1986.

Dr. Torchia owned a Florida veterinary hospital for seven years and spent time teaching at her alma mater as a guest professor. Dr. Torchia then moved to the Nashville area, where she lives with her daughter, Clare, and her Golden Retrievers, Forrest & Chance.
