DeKalb Animal Clinic was initially founded in 1987 to serve the needs of pet parents in Smithville, TN, and the surrounding area. In 2005, our building on West Broad Street was purchased to serve the clinic’s growing clientele. Today, the clinic is a 4,000 sq ft facility and has four examination rooms, a two-table surgical suite, and several large treatment areas.

Our veterinary team takes pride in giving our clients and their pets the best and most affordable care. We offer digital x-ray, ultrasound, echo, and on-site blood chemistry equipment.
