Nashville's premier specialty animal hospital honors their commitment to animals and the environment through advanced technology and creative upcycling...

One of my favorite things about our annual Green Issue is highlighting local pet businesses that are taking action toward a healthier planet. After all, we each have a responsibility to care for the earth which sustains us and the animals we love, whether in our personal lives or business practice.

I am especially excited to feature our friends from Nashville Veterinary Specialists and Animal Emergency. You know them from our back cover, and you may know Dr. Trey Calfee as a leading orthopedic veterinary surgeon in Middle Tennessee. However, what you may not know is that this is one business that is serious about being green.
