Urgent care on a Saturday, close to home

When something is wrong with your pet, you want answers fast and a team you can trust. Here is what you get at The Nations on a Saturday.

Open Saturdays, 7:30 to 3

Weekend worries don’t have to wait until Monday or mean a trip to the ER. We see sick and urgent visits every Saturday morning and early afternoon.

Same-day urgent visits

Walk-ins are welcome. Calling ahead helps: we ask a few focused questions, triage, and tell you the fastest, safest next step.

A team that listens

Our veterinarians take the time to hear what you are seeing, examine your pet nose to tail, and explain what they find in plain language.

Honest about what we can do

We handle most urgent cases in-house. If your pet needs overnight monitoring or critical care, we say so, point you to a 24/7 hospital, and send records ahead.

What we can see on a Saturday

Not every emergency needs an emergency hospital. During our Saturday hours we can often see and treat issues like these. If you are unsure, call.

Trouble breathing or blue gums
Seizures, collapse or weakness
Bleeding, wounds or trauma
Swollen or painful belly, dry heaving
Ate something toxic
Heatstroke concerns
Straining or unable to urinate
Pain you can’t manage at home
Vomiting, diarrhea or not eating

Worried about the cost? We review an estimate on request before moving forward, and we accept CareCredit and Scratchpay.

What to expect on Saturday

Here is how a Saturday urgent visit works at The Nations Animal Hospital.

1

Call ahead, or walk in

Call (615) 960-3128 and tell us what you are seeing. We will triage and help you decide the right next step. Walk-ins are welcome too.

2

A same-day exam

If your pet is stable and we have room, we aim to see you the same day. We examine your pet and, if needed, recommend diagnostics to get answers faster.

3

A clear plan, no surprises

We walk you through treatment options that fit your goals and budget, and review an estimate on request before we begin.

After 3pm on Saturday, or overnight

We are not a 24/7 hospital and do not provide overnight monitoring. If we are closed, or your pet needs critical care right now, go straight to a 24/7 emergency hospital and call ahead when you can.
