Community Involvement
At Family Pet Health, we believe in being more than just a veterinary practice—we strive to be a positive force in our community. From promoting pet health to supporting local organizations, we are dedicated to making a difference for both pets and people in Murfreesboro, TN.
Walk My Dog Program
Our annual Walk My Dog Program encourages physical activity and strengthens the bond between participants and their dogs. Open to everyone, including non-dog owners, the program runs from May through June. Participants log their walking mileage and earn fun prizes like squeaky balls, doggie waste bags, and T-shirts. Those who hit the 75-mile mark even receive a discount on a Fear Free comprehensive exam. This program builds a sense of community while promoting healthy lifestyles for pets and owners alike.
2025 will be the 6th annual Walk My Dog challenge!
Community Trivia Nights
We host regular trivia nights to support local charitable organizations. In 2024, we organized events benefiting NickProject2020, Beesley Animal Foundation, Shiner’s Pizza Salute, and Ferrell Hollow Farm Senior Horse & Cat Sanctuary. These lively evenings bring the community together for a good cause, with proceeds directly supporting these impactful local groups.
Rutherford County FFA Vet Science Contest
Family Pet Health proudly hosted the Rutherford County Invitational Vet Science Contest, providing a space for FFA students to showcase their skills and compete in the veterinary science Career Development Event (CDE). This event highlights our commitment to fostering the next generation of veterinary professionals and supporting local agricultural education.
