At Your Service
Zachary McKnight
Practice Manager
Zachary McKnight has always been an animal lover, even from an early age. Living in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, he encountered many type of animals and would always try to help injured wildlife that he’d happen upon.
At the very first clinic Zachary ever worked, an 8-week-old long haired chihuahua mix puppy came in and was parvo positive. Sadly, his owners decided to sign him over to Zachary. Cut to 12 years later and they are not the very best of friends – Zachary and little Dexter.
When he’s not at work in the pet clinic, Zachary loves to hike, travel, go to concerts, and being out on the lake or laying by a pool! He is a huge Disney World fan and has been to the amusement park a total of 39 times! Living with Zachary and his dog Dexter is Karma – a domestic shorthaired cat, and Albus – an Eastern Herman’s Tortoise.
Zachary is proud to lead the team that serves pets and pet parents in Franklin, Tennessee and the surrounding areas.
