Ready to serve Middle Tennessee with compassion, expertise, and a personal touch—one ultrasound at a time.

Reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in every animal is our top priority. Every procedure is tailored to ensure emotional and physical comfort for each patient.
We uphold the highest standards of veterinary care, transparency, and communication—earning trust and reliability with every clinic and partner.
Patient safety and well-being come first. We use appropriate sedation protocols to minimize stress and ensure the best possible diagnostic imaging.
Kindness and respect guide every interaction—with animals, clients, and colleagues. Bullying is NEVER tolerated; we foster a collaborative, supportive environment for all.
We are committed to continual learning and providing the latest in veterinary diagnostics and technology. Every team member values personal and professional growth.

Ultrasound is an advanced diagnostic tool that demands both technical skill and deep medical experience. We always put the patient’s physical and emotional well-being first—applying Fear Free handling techniques to every scan.

There’s great value in knowing what’s normal! A normal ultrasound can rule out serious conditions, bringing peace of mind to both practitioners and pet owners.

Partial scans risk missing critical information. We always perform a full abdominal ultrasound—examining every organ, every time—to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Image quality matters. That’s why Franimal’s Solutions proudly uses state-of-the-art Terason equipment by Oncura, ensuring clear, reliable results for every patient.
Franimal’s Solutions is proud to partner with Music City Pet Internal Medicine Solutions, led by Dr. Jessica Larson, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM). Dr. Larson brings over a decade of internal medicine expertise to our region, and our collaboration extends well beyond ultrasound interpretation.
