From an MTSU student's apartment cat to a Blackman family dog with a tick bite, TelaVets provides same-day video consultations. $65 flat fee with prescriptions across Rutherford County.

Vet access challenges in Murfreesboro

Explosive growth outpacing clinics

Murfreesboro's vet practices cannot keep pace with population doubling — new patients wait weeks.

Nashville commuter competition

I-24 corridor residents compete with Nashville overflow for limited Rutherford County appointments.

MTSU student surge

Fall enrollment brings thousands of new pet owners needing immediate vet access.

Suburban mosquito expansion

New construction creates standing water habitats increasing heartworm pressure countywide.

I-24 access barriers

Nashville clinic alternatives require I-24 commutes adding 30+ minutes each way.
