Melissa Spear

Love this place! I have tried other vets in Nashville and this place is the best, from the front desk staff, the the vet techs, and the vets! I have 2 dogs one is a Bichon-Shitzu and they were so attentive with her surgery and every other visit. They cared for her like she was their own. I am an over protective dog mom and they have always made Wonton feel right at home. I have seen Dr. Sewell, and Dr. Smith and they have both been wonderful. Also, doggy daycare has been a life saver for us!

Katie Goetz

Kind and caring staff, clean facilities, and flexible hours make this the perfect vet!

Carrie Finnegan

Staff is wonderful and every encounter is done with care, but also efficiency so we are not stuck waiting with nervous animals for more than a minute or two. Our cat and dog both have their veterinary care here...and I am new to dogs so the staff has been helpful answering my many ridiculous questions! :)

Aaron Shaull

These folks are great. They're able to squeeze me in to talk about my pup over the phone or in person. They also have a great "drop off" option for days when no appointment slots are available. Everyone is nice, professional, and patient with my questions and concerns. They all really love what they do. Highly recommend.

Megan McCrea

We love Belmont Animal Clinic. We started taking our pup here when we first moved to Nashville and they were so friendly, caring and knew their stuff. Toward the end for our guy, they were supportive and compassionate and we will never be able to thank them enough for giving Theoh care in his final moments.

Jon Stern

Awesome

Wonderful, knowledgeable staff

The first time I brought my new rescue dog in, he was seen by Dr. Zika. He had a number of issues - not the least of which was trusting new people. Dr. Zika was sensitive to his needs and could have left the room right after evaluating him, but instead she took some time to hang out and get better acquainted with him. Then we had an unfortunate incident with another dog one Friday morning. I called Belmont Animal Hospital and they told me bring him by and go on to work and they would get him taken care of. He ended up needing surgery. Dr. Sewell called me within the hour to tell me what was needed. He performed the procedure that afternoon and called me after it was over to let me know how it went. Then on Monday Dr. Sewell called to check on my dog. Belmont Animal Hospital has provided excellent care for my dog and great customer service for me - I am so glad I found them!

Everyone here will love and care for your pet as if it is their own. I cannot express, time and again, what phenomenal experiences my dog and I have had. The price is reasonable, the doctors and staff are knowledgeable and kind, and I have never once felt hurried or rushed. I am so unbelievably thankful and grateful to have found this practice!

Patricia Midori Murobushi Ozawa

Great service! I recommend it.

Jacqui Prusik

Look, my dog (Heisman) is, to put it lightly...difficult. He's mix of high energy, high anxiety, and he hates going to the vet. I love him, but I dread having to take him in because it's almost impossible to get him to behave. After moving here we needed a new vet, so we went to Belmont for the first time a couple weeks ago. I'm so, so grateful we did. From the front desk staff, to the technicians (our was Zach and he was amazing), to our vet, Dr. Gilliam (also amazing), everyone was so kind, professional, and caring. I'm always constantly apologizing for our dog and they just kept saying it was fine and reassuring us. They're clearly excellent at what they do, and they made a stressful situation easy. They've more than earned our business for life. Thank you all so much!

Liz Beavers

Belmont Animal Hospital is the greatest - we love Dr. Eadie! Our three dogs have been his patients for at least 4 years now. The clinic is always clean and bright - Dr. Eadie and staff are very kind and loving to our animals. Highly recommended!

Marco Antonio Pires Camilo Lapa

Great staff there. Very kind and helpful.

I brought my cat in to be treated for constipation. Two days later I had to put him to sleep. Something went horribly wrong with the procedure to cause my cat to suffer in pain for two days. This included my cat mysteriously obtaining what appeared to be a completely useless paralyzed front right leg from the carpals downward. A lesson for all: Never let a rookie vet perform even the most basic procedure on your pet. Plus, you are paying full price for a rookie vs paying full price for an experienced vet. The rookie vet is not worth a fraction of full price. Two procedures were done: an enema and subcutaneous fluids inserted at the shoulders. I have to think the enema was done somewhat incorrectly. When I picked up my cat ~4 hours after the procedure, the staff expressed surprise that my cat was still oozing fluid out of his anus. Such a surprise implies something was done wrong with the enema. Too much fluid? Did the rookie vet puncture his intestinal lining? Does the rookie vet not know an older animal will have a less pliable colon wall? Did something go wrong with the sub-Q fluids? Perhaps after an undetermined number of additional botched procedures the rookie vet will advance to being a very good vet by the time he reaches the age of the other vets at Belmont animal hospital. Maybe not. Medical procedures require art & science. The rookie vet may have the training to grasp the clunky science of veterinary procedures, but I doubt he has approached the basic skills needed for the art of these procedures. I would not hesitate to schedule an appointment with the older vets, but I would never let their rookie vets (I define that as those with less than 10 years of experience) ever give any care to your pet. The older vets appear to be highly skilled and compassionate. Belmont Animal Hospital is not the only clinic that has hired a rookie vet. This can happen at any vet clinic. My review could be used as a guideline for any vet clinic you choose. Rookie vets are horrible. They lack the experience necessary to be considered a good vet. They need experience, but let them get that experience on someone else’s pet, who is not aware of the downsides of a rookie.

Kaitlyn Moser

The doctors were so sweet towards our cat. They even send cute cards after your visit. I never trusted anyone as much as I trust the Belmont staff with my pets.

Connor Deason

The doctors and staff at Belmont are always incredibly accommodating, friendly, professional, and helpful. I’d highly recommend them for anyone seeking care for their four-legged friends.

Scarlett

Best animal hospital in Nashville. I have been taking both my dogs here for 7 years and have appreciated every moment of it. Dr. Eadie and Dr. Sewell are such fantastic veterinarians.

Marci Levy

Dr. Gilliam and the vet tech were wonderful. I was worried about a new hot spot on a Friday afternoon and they squeezed us in and were efficient, kind and helpful.

Brittany N

Great staff that are always working to be accommodating and loving to my fur babies.

Ashleigh Bennett

My two small dogs and I are very pleased with Belmont Animal Hospital! The reception staff, vet techs, and Dr. Gilliam are super friendly, caring, passionate, and knowledgeable. They treat us with the best care and respect. We appreciate everything they do. I highly recommend this vet clinic.

Candice Nelson

Dr. Zika is the best vet I have ever taken my babies to. She is kind, takes her time to explain things and you can tell how much she genuinely loves animals. She is conservative with treatment, which I appreciate. The office can be busy, so you definitely need an appointment a few days ahead of time.

Marina De Los Santos

Such a great and caring staff! I had an emergency with my 6 week old puppy so I didn't have an appointment and they fit me right in :) they told me it would be a while before my puppy was seen and it wasn't long at all! The lady at the front desk was polite as well and I appreciated when she offered me a cup of coffee. The vet and vet tech were both very nice as well and the vet tech answered all questions and even gave me info packets. They treated my puppy and I very well and not just like we were another patient. Would definitely come here again! Only the best for my puppy :)

Allison Sims

I have been taking my pets to Belmont Animal Hospital for 4 years now - we won't go anywhere else! They are always so friendly, highly knowledgeable, and treat us well. One of my kittens got really sick a while ago and they made it a point to fit us in, even offering to let me drop her off so they could look at her between scheduled appointments. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to any pet parent.

Michelle Sitton

Friendly and caring staff, from when I called in to make the appointment to a few days after the appointment when they called to see how things were going. Dr. Sewell was gentle and thorough with my dog, which is very important to me as I hate feeling like just another appointment to rush through to get to the next one. I was very appreciative that he explained everything in detail and gave me honest recommendations for my dog's care. Overall, both Dr. Sewell and the vet tech, Rebecca, genuinely listened to what I had to say about my concerns for my dog. Reasonable prices for this area also. As a self-proclaimed "crazy dog mom", I've been looking for a permanent vet in Nashville since I moved here and I'm so happy to have found it! :)

Jon Oden

I love this place. Dr Sewell is amazing. He has a great and comforting personality, and he's very knowledgeable.

Tad Wood

I have lived in Nashville and owned pets for the last 20 years. I've been to every vet within a 20 mile radius from Green Hills. Belmont Animal Hospital is by far the best, nothing is even close. The facility is well lit, clean and beautiful. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They really care for your pet. If you care about your pets like i do, start here. I only wish they had been here 20 years ago.

Elaina Behnke

I loved taking my pets to Belmont when I lived in Nashville. Everyone was friendly and seemed to truly love animals. I knew they were receiving the best care possible when I took them to Belmont.

Dianna Hyder

Staff is friendly, doctors take the time to answer all questions and explain clearly what is wrong w your pet.

Tim Baskin

I trust them with the health and wellbeing of my pets. Always kind, compassionate, loving, caring.

Shaela Nelson

I’ve been taking my now 8-month-old Bernedoodle here since he was 8 weeks old. The staff, techs and vets have all been an absolute dream to work with. It’s apparent that they truly care about their patients and will do what is needed to get them feeling better. Anytime I need something or have a question, they are beyond helpful. Thank you to everyone who works here and gives me a piece of mind knowing my pup is in great hands.

Jacob Lentner

They take such good care of our dog! Fair price, excellent service

Leticia Gutierrez

I never write reviews about places but they did such an amazing job with my dog that I felt the need to. I called about 10 a.m. and they had me in the office at 11:30. They assessed her issue and addressed it quickly. Within an hour she was showing signs of improvements. They were all very caring and loving towards the situation. 15/10 would reccomend.

Leandra Collier

Love them. Really thorough and kind. Do we call it Belmont Animal Spa because they are pricey? Maybe. Do we love them anyway and trust them with our family let’s? Yes absolutely.

Shannon Hagerman

We had our first experience with Belmont yesterday, and it was wonderful. Reception was kind, the vet assistant took time to look our dog over and listened to our concerns, then when we were introduced to the vet he too was understanding. You know how sometimes you go to a vet and they brush your concerns off as "crazy dog owner who jumps at an itch"? That did not happen here, each of our worries were addressed specifically, and he didn't rush us out the door. The vet was gentle and my dog actually liked him more than any other vet she's seen in a long time. We (husband, dog, and myself) are all happy clients!

Gina M.

Front desk ladies are so knowledgeable, refined and professional. So glad I switched vets, my two little angels receive quality care here.

Kelson Mulcahy

They do such a great job here with my two dogs, Oscar and Pepper. Oscar can be very timid and Pepper is a very energetic and they handle both of them very well. The vets here take a lot of time explaining what is going on with my pups. We have had a couple of surgeries and the do great. Can't say enough good things about these folks.

Mackenzie Catron

I have been coming here for a year and I finally just made the decision to leave. When I first brought my dog in, I really did like Belmont. The vets seemed knowledgable and caring. There have been too many "little" things that have upset me about their care for my dog. My dog was a junk yard dog so he has some health issues that pop up every now and then. I do like their ability to always work me in when I call last minute, and the vets and techs are all very nice. I've seen three or four different vets over the last year. I'll share some details, just to show that I'm not being totally unreasonable. 1) They suggested I put my dog on grain-free food after Zyrtec/Claritin did not fully resolve his vomiting bouts. This was a great suggestion. But they continually forgot and would offer/give him treats that are not grain-free. Hello, did you read his profile at all? On our last 2 visits, I have brought treats with me for them to give instead of what they carry. 2) My dog had a tumor grow over his tear duct. Their care for him was really great, surgery went well, he recovered fully, they were very tolerant of me asking about the scientific specifics of the tumor (sorry, I'm in science, I have to know!). They did a really good job managing my anxiety as well. But my dog had a bathroom accident in his crate and they had to bathe him. My dog HATES water. They didn't think they needed to let me know, so I get my dog back and his rear end is soaking wet and beyond freaked out, not just about the water but probably also about being a "bad boy" and going in his crate. I feel this information should have been included in his op report, which was otherwise very thorough. I called once I got home and asked why he was wet (I didn't notice til I had to lift him up into the car), and was informed of his accident then. 3) My dog swallowed a raw hide so we went in to make sure he was alright. He caught kennel cough while we were there (I hadn't had him long - he had only been vaccinated one week prior). When I called to notify the vet, they very casually said "oh yeah, we had an outbreak that day." No apology, no real tone of urgency, and my dog was extremely sick! Not to mention the expensive antibiotics he then had to take. 4) My dog was vomiting and we went in to check on him. They took him out of our room for an anti-nausea shot instead of giving it in the room. Maybe there is something I don't know about this shot, but my dog is such a momma's boy, and can be aggressive to strangers, so why didn't they just leave him with me? He ran right back to my lap the second he returned (such a tough guy for 60 lbs!). Also, the vet tried to give me a bland food (rice and chicken) to feed for a few days while his tummy recovered. Again, did you not see he is grain free? I almost felt like she was trying to convince me to just risk it and give him the rice. I ended up cooking chicken and sweet potatoes for him, instead (albeit at the vet's suggestion in the end). ****** Additionally, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back, there were several large smears of blood on the floor of our room. When I brought it to the attention of the vet and the tech, they didn't apologize or seem incredibly concerned. They just blamed it on the dark floors and how it can be hard to see if they're clean. Thanks, my dog and I were sitting in another dog's blood for half an hour! So if you have a completely healthy, vaccinated dog, Belmont may be great for you. However, I felt their neglect for the "little things" was too much of a risk for me and my dog so we are moving on.

Brandon Cline

Be aware that Belmont Animal Hospital says a canine annual exam will cost $50. However, the heartworm and fecal tests (which are a part of a standard annual exam) cost an additional $77, meaning the actual cost is $127 - more than double what they tell you!

Wally Bullard

Very friendly and helpful.

Jeremy Haws

Very clean and professional. I have a German Shepard that doesnt socialize well, and BAH caters to her needs and provides excellent care.

caitlin dvorachek

I moved to Nashville this past year and needed quick and confident service within a month for my 5 year old French Bulldog, Walter. Walter is a particularly special case as he has hemophilia and can be aggressive in his attempts to 'protect' me. The staff at Belmont Animal Hospital went above and beyond to care for, comfort and respect Walter and myself. I am truly thankful for their expertise, understanding and respect of my dog and I. I am confident they are always looking out for the animal's best interest and would recommend them to anyone looking for a vet.

Brooke F

We moved to Nashville over a year ago and shortly after needed to find a vet to purchase heartworm/flea/tick medication from. After reading several positive reviews, we chose Belmont Animal Hospital. In the beginning, staff was kind. We weighed our pit mix in, but the weight seemed off. Without thinking much of it, I left the establishment and visited PetSmart to pick up some food. While walking around, I realized her weight couldn’t be correct. I walked into Banfield (inside PetSmart) and asked if I could weigh her, explaining I just thought maybe the scale was a little off at the vet. It was off by several pounds, putting the medicine we received at lower doses than she needed. Banfield called Belmont for me to let them know they weighed her and that we would be coming back for new medications. When I showed back up, the receptionist was kind and we laughed it off - this was no biggie, it happens! Fast forward six months, and we take our pup and our cat in for annual exams. Front desk staff was not overly friendly, but not rude. We took our pets back into a room and waited. Our vet tech came in first. He was kind and knowledgable, sweet with both our pets. Then our vet came in, also super kind and knowledgeable, but it felt like the exam was not overly thorough as it seemed our vet was timid towards our pit mix (who is the gentlest girl, ever!). We declined blood work for them both as we did not see it was necessary at this time, nor were we told it was mandatory. Left with a more expensive annual exam than what we were used to back home, but figured this was normal for Nashville. Fast forward another six months and I call in to ask if they had the heartworm/flea/tick medicine for her weight in stock. After I told them patient’s name, I instantly got attitude and felt some backlash for not having a blood test on file. When I asked what this was for, they explained it was to test for heart worms, which I was not against testing by any means, but I do like to be informed of the reason for the testing. I agreed to bring her in for the test while I picked up the medicine. When the test came back negative, they were filling my order and I began asking questions about ordering from an online Pharmacy, like the one through Chewy, who offers the same brands at a discounted price. Once I asked this question, I received a change in tone and coldness from the woman helping me, who advised against this due to uncertainty with vendors. My pup started whining (she was antsy), but I wanted to know more about what that meant and gain more knowledge about any dangers that could come from that. As I turned back to her after telling my pup we were about to leave, her response to me was “You’re all done. You can leave” as I was mid-sentence with my question. It became apparent that my questions were not welcomed, and it began to feel like neither were we. Only a couple weeks later, my pup came down with an ear infection. Although not life threatening, I could tell she was in quite some discomfort, as she may have been battling this longer than we initially thought. When my husband called in for an appointment, we were not able to get in until the following week (about 6 days) and were advised to administer a couple Benadryl a day until then. My husband received some snippiness from the front desk during this call as well. This was the last time we had contact with this office as we researched and found another office and got our pup in that next morning. We were disappointed in the type of service we received. Although the care from the vet was pleasant, there are more affordable and agreeable places to receive equal or better care in town.

Mike Olech

Very nice staff and the vet was very thorough and took the time I needed to answer my questions

Ryan Link

We love Dr. Sewell and so do our furbabies.

Megan West

They let me in a few minutes late due to crazy traffic. Thank you so much for being accommodating! It’s so appreciated!

Sara Beth Gideon

This is an absolutely amazing animal clinic. They are so accommodating and friendly--I really will not take my pets anywhere else!! The appointment was quick and informative, the staff was super helpful and friendly, and the doctor called the next day to check up on and make sure we knew to call if we had any questions. They are very focused on customer service, and it makes all the difference.

Corrupt GIJoe

The staff has been extremely helpful every time we have made a visit. We had to put one of our seventeen year old cats down a year ago, and the staff was very kind and let us take our time to say goodbye. I can not recommended Belmont Animal Hospital enough.

Liz T

Wonderful facility and wonderful staff! We were visiting from out of state and needed a vet to remove staples from my Havanese after she had bladder surgery at our regular vet. They were so accommodating, saw us promptly and removed her staples for free! We were so surprised at their kindness for Maggee and for us. Would recommend this vet highly! Thank you Belmont Animal Hospital (Nashville)!

Kristin Duelfer

Belmont is the best vet clinic in Nashville. Very pleased with the sweet and professional staff. Prices are very reasonable.

Ann Williams

We tried Belmont animal hospital for the first time this year after we had some issues at our other vet. I can't speak highly enough about the staff and experience we had here. Our boxer is very fearful and was acting aggressive (which she never does at home) and they were completely understanding and came up with a plan to help make her visit less stressful for all of us. They followed up with me to be sure our dog was ok and did not make me feel like it was a pain to treat her as other vet offices had. We are so happy to have found a vet to trust and take great care of our dog! Thank you

Ginger Graves

I’ve been taking my cats here for 3 years. The staff are friendly and always willing to listen to me talk about my cats. The were especially compassionate when I had to have my 19 year old cat euthanized. I think I’ve seen every vet on staff at one time or another and I’ve never been disappointed.

Clara Molina

Great location, modern facilities, good customer service. Friendly and professional staff. A bit pricey.
