About Us Southeastern Veterinary Services (SVS)

A Family Legacy of Compassionate Veterinary Care

At Southeastern Veterinary Services (SVS), we believe that every animal, big or small, deserves exceptional care delivered with integrity, compassion, and expertise. Founded as a sister company of Community Animal Hospital, our practice was created to extend our family’s legacy of veterinary excellence throughout Cleveland, Tennessee, and the surrounding communities.

Our story begins with Dr. Lane, who established Community Animal Hospital in 1993 as a locally owned and family-operated practice. With a passion for animal health and a heart for serving the community, he built a trusted foundation that has supported families and their pets for over three decades. In 2018, his son, Dr. Ryan Lane, joined the family practice after completing veterinary school, bringing new energy and expertise to the next generation of care.

Recognizing the growing need for large animal and mixed animal services, Dr. Ryan launched Southeastern Veterinary Services in 2021 to meet the needs of both farm and companion animals with the same dedication that has defined their family’s work for years.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional veterinary care that supports both pets and livestock in living healthy, fulfilling lives.

We take pride in being one of the few remaining family-owned veterinary practices in the region, which allows us to maintain the kind of personal connection and accountability that corporate clinics often lack. Our goal is to ensure that every animal receives the best care possible, while every owner feels valued, heard, and supported.

Our Commitment to the Community

We are more than a veterinary practice; we are part of the Cleveland community. Our family has spent decades building trusted relationships with clients who have become like family. Many of the pets we see today belong to the children and grandchildren of our original clients, a testament to the care and trust that define our work.
At Southeastern Veterinary Services, we value honesty, communication, and education. The best outcomes happen when pet owners and veterinarians work together, sharing knowledge and compassion in every visit.

Our Partnership with Community Animal Hospital

As an extension of Community Animal Hospital, Southeastern Veterinary Services shares resources, staff, and values with its sister clinic. This collaboration allows us to maintain a consistent standard of care, whether we’re treating pets in our office or providing large-animal services on a farm.

Both practices are united by a single mission: to deliver top-quality veterinary care that puts animals and families first.
