After clocking in for the very first time in November 2008, today-July 23. 2026—is my last official day at Utopia Animal Hospital.
For nearly 18 years, Utopia has been so much more than a job. It has been a second home filled with amazing coworkers and wonderful clients who trusted us with their beloved pets, and countless memories that I will cherish forever.
While I'm excited for the next chapter, leaving is bittersweet. I will miss my team, my clients, and all of the wonderful pets more than words can express.
Thank you for 17½ unforgettable years. I'll always carry a piece of Utopia in my 💜

Hi friends! As you know, we are going through some transitions here at Utopia. We are figuring out our new normal.

It would really help us out if you could give us 24 hours notice if you need a refill, especially if it's for a controlled substance. The best way to let us know is by texting the office number (901-746-8758). You can also call or send an email to [email protected]

Thanks for supporting us!

If anyone needs help with getting pet food, here's some information from MIFA on their new program:

People LOVE their pets! And they love them for a lot of personal reasons. On a clinical level, pets play an important role in combating isolation for seniors who live alone. But the reality is caring for pets hits hard for folks on tight budgets.

Hello everyone! We know that there has been a lot of news about New World Screwworm lately. So far, we haven't had any cases in TN, but I wouldn't be surprised if we do at some point. The screwworms are transmitted by a species of blowfly that will lay eggs in an open wound.

Really, there are a couple of take home messages:
1. The modern flea and tick medications such as Simparica, Simparica Trio, Nexgard, Credellio, and Bravecto are approved to treat screwworm infections and they should also prevent them
2. If your pet has an open wound, keep the wound covered, keep your pet inside, and keep them on an oral flea/tick medication listed above

Here is a good article with more info: New World Screwworms in Dogs and Cats - Veterinary Partner - VIN

New World screwworms are flesh-eating larvae (maggots) of the blowfly, Cochliomyia hominivorax.
