About Us:
True Friend Veterinary Clinic is a full-service veterinary practice serving Williamson County and surrounding areas, offering both in-clinic and in-home care designed around the individual needs of each patient.
Dr. Peeler has extensive experience managing complex cases, including behavioral challenges, terminal illness, senior care, and chronic medical conditions that require detail-oriented, personalized attention.
Our practice stands apart through our commitment to a low-stress approach to veterinary medicine. We prioritize patient comfort, adjust our handling techniques when needed, and create thoughtful care plans that support both medical and emotional well-being.
By offering comprehensive services within our Franklin clinic — alongside in-home care when appropriate — we provide flexibility and continuity for families navigating a wide range of medical and life-stage needs. Our goal is to deliver thorough, collaborative, and compassionate care without compromising quality or attention.
A note from Dr. Peeler:
I started True Friend because I saw the need for more thoughtful, relationship-centered veterinary care.
My approach focuses on treating the whole animal and the entire family — addressing not only medical conditions, but also emotional well-being and overall quality of life. I believe in supporting caregivers alongside patients, especially during complex or challenging seasons.
Whether caring for pets in our clinic or in their home environment, I am committed to clear communication, accessibility, and continuity of care. Through ongoing support via text, email, phone, and video when appropriate, I strive to remain a steady resource for the families who trust us.
True Friend was built on the belief that veterinary medicine should feel personal, intentional, and grounded in partnership. I am honored to walk alongside you and your pet through every stage of life.

True Friend Mobile Veterinary Services cares for canine and feline patients. We help all, but particularly pet patients who may be nervous or otherwise unfit for routine services in a physical veterinary facility.
Disclaimer
True Friend does not perform urgent or emergent veterinary care, surgery, radiographs, dental cleanings, or other services requiring a facility.
Our house-call services are currently senior, palliative care, hospice, behavior consultations, and in home euthanasia.
We do not have a truck, trailer, bus, or other facility, and all services will be provided within your home or outside of your home.
True Friend prefers to partner with your current primary general practitioner; however, True Friend does have partnerships with brick and mortar veterinary facilities to provide services needed outside of the house-call environment upon request.
We are by appointment only and appointments will be confirmed by our staff in the order they were requested.
We look forward to serving you & your True Friend.
