About Us
At Butler Veterinary Services, we are dedicated to providing top-quality care for your pets. Our journey began as a large animal ambulatory practice in February 2015, with Dr. Nathan Butler working tirelessly to serve the needs of cattle, sheep, goats, and production pigs. However, it was the passion and commitment to personal relationships with clients that led us to expand our services to include small animals.
In 2017, Dr. Nathan and his wife Katie seized the opportunity to pursue their dream of owning their own clinic. They broke ground on the new facility in June 2017 and completed it in December 2017. This marked a significant milestone in our journey, allowing us to integrate state-of-the-art medicine and surgery with the personal touch that our clients have come to expect.
Our team is passionate about treating each animal as if it were our own. We strive to create and maintain lifelong relationships with our clients and patients. Dr. Nathan, a lifelong resident of Knoxville, TN, grew up in Hardin Valley and graduated from Karns High School. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Tennessee. His veterinary interests include both medicine and surgery of both small and large animals.
We offer a comprehensive range of services designed to keep your pets healthy and thriving. Our services include annual wellness exams, vaccinations, diagnostics, microchipping, surgery, emergency care, and dental care. We understand that no two animals are the same, so we develop personalized vaccination schedules tailored to your pet's specific needs.
Our commitment to quality care extends beyond our clinic walls. We believe in creating that country vet feel while incorporating the latest advancements in veterinary medicine. Whether you have a small pet or a large animal, we are here to provide the care and attention your beloved companions deserve.
At Butler Veterinary Services, we are proud to be a part of the Knoxville community. Our family has lived in Karns since 1882, and we are deeply rooted in the values of trust, compassion, and excellence. We look forward to serving you and your pets with the same dedication and passion that has driven us from the very beginning.
