Belmont Animal Hospital

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. Read Less

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! :) Read Less

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. Read Less

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. Read Less

Can't say enough great things about Belmont. We've seen multiple Dr's here but primarily Dr. Eadie- we trust any provider and know our giant breed Berner, Hamlet, will be well cared for. They never perform unnecessary treatments/procedures and address our concerns in an appropriate manner. I feel confident that they will never advise us to do things that aren't 100% needed, and they always have my pups interest at heart. We love them! Read Less

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. Read Less

So happy to have found this vet. Great pet care and knowledgeable staff. My baby came in for a problem with her ears after a bad trip to a groomer and they immediately diagnosed the problem and prescribed proper medication which helped within days. Will be returning absolutely. Read Less

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! Read Less

While I love the clinic, the people at the desk, and Drs. Eadie and Sewell are fantastic, I think I've been put off by sticker shock. We took our little Pepperoni in for his yearly physical. You can see by the attached photos that between the office visit, tests, vaccines, and year of heart worm / flea and tick meds, the cost was $631! Not cool. That's more than I pay for my two kids' doctors visits and meds in a sick year!!!The invoice is shown in the picture. In short:50 - office visit77 - heart worm/fecal parasite tests23 - rabies tag for 3 years143 - 5 shots/vaccines70 - 1 year of Heartguard (for heart worm protection)268 - 1 year of Nexgard (flea and tick)631 - Total --are ya kidding me?!?!I'm told to check out Parker's Paws on White Bridge or Value Vet on Main in East Nashville. I called the latter and told them what we had done and they quoted me under $160--about a quarter of what I paid. These kind people should lower their prices or at least give some notion of what costs will be. Read Less

They are incredibly nice and friendly. They made my wife and I feel comfortable with our sick pets. We came here after reading the yelp reviews and will keep coming back after meeting our doctors and nurses. Read Less

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. Read Less

I had just the perfect appointment yesterday with Dr. Gilliam.  I inherited an old kitty (17 years old) and she needed a lot of care...she has long hair and had several hair mats and she also had ingrown toenails and overall messy pads on the bottom of her feet.  She also does not like leaving the house so she can be really grouchy and mean and even aggressive.  Dr. Gilliam and his team sedated her and cleaned her all up and monitored and kept me updated along the way.  They actually gave her a "lion cut" because her hair was so bad.  She is now the happiest cat in the world.  She loves her cut and they did a great job.  She looks really cute and I feel good that she is now feeling great and healthy.  I highly recommend Dr. Gilliam and team.

Just moved to Nashville and my 9 month old Lab/Collie Mix developed a rash. Not only did they get me an appointment on the Friday of the Christmas weekend, I was seen promptly.  The staff and doctors were all friendly and great with myself and my "kid". Thanks so much!!!! Read Less

My dog has seen two vets here, both were exceptional. I recommend them to anyone with pets. The individual rooms are always clean, everyone spends time with you, these guys know how to care for their clients. Best facility, amazing people, and I am so happy to have found them! Read Less

Best vet we have ever used. The building is modern, and very clean. The staff exceptional. They even called us a few days later to check up on Baloo. Then sent a staff signed card a few weeks later to thank us for visiting. Really A+! Read Less

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.Read Less

Great fast service for dog with urgent care need (bleeding nail)... also very reasonably priced, great bandaging, and gave all info for our pet insurance- follow up with tech for check and bandage removal was free. very pleased. Read Less

The emergency service I received at Belmont Animal Hospital was really great. I drove to Nashville from IL with my 12yo olde english bulldogge, Harley, on a Thursday evening and had to get him to the vet right away. I called Belmont prior to getting there to let them know the situation. Once I got him there they took him back right away and I went into a room with Dr. Sewell after he examined Harley to explain what happened etc.  He made some recommendations and while I would love to do everything to save my dog I had to think of money as well. Dr. Sewell completely understood and checked on Harley again, etc... trying to keep a long story short... we thought he was ok to go back with me with a sedation protocol for the ride back home in 2 days.  however, after I saw Harley, I knew he wasn't ok... and then his breathing issue started up again. I had to end up making the decision to put Harley to sleep. I was sobbing and calling my dad and trying to comprehend what was all happening... Dr. Sewell and his staff were amazing and understanding all the while. The receptionist was super sweet and asked if she could give me a hug not only because of my grief but also because she knew I was there alone and would have to drive back to IL with ashes instead of my sweet boy. I feel thankful for that hug and for the staff at Belmont Animal Hospital. Read Less

Love Belmont Animal Hospital. We've seen Drs. Eadie, Zika and Smith, and all of them have been fabulous with our puppies. They are always available to answer questions via phone during business hours and routinely call to check in after the pups have been in for a visit. Great, caring veterinarians. They are a little pricier than most, but I think you get what you pay for. And Belmont Animal Hospital provides excellent care to our little guys. Read Less

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! Read Less

I must admit, I have been one to jump from vet to vet over my time in Nashville to find a balance between affordability, knowledge, and a shared ideology on pet care. I am one who likes to make sure I am preventative, but do not believe in over medication or vaccination unless it makes sense. IThis vet was perfect for my needs for this. They understood this and did not seem to judge me.The office is clean and modern. The staff is kind. They emailed me a price list before I committed anything so that I could make sure I was prepared and not surprised or sticker shocked. They are a bit more expensive, than say Value Vet, but you get a nice facility and prices are in line with most other non-value vets. I recommend this vet for anyone who does not need a quick, ultra affordable test or one-off look. Read Less

I trust them with my fur baby Maine Coon cat. They are great about scheduling and are happy to accommodate rescheduling. They helped me so much when my cat got fleas and nothing seemed to work; they got her on SAFE medicine and they even recommended carpet cleaner. They are great with the animals and you can tell they truly do care. I plan to take my pets here forever! Read Less

Friendly, competent, and great.Our 4 year old dog had a large growth on her nose.  We took her in and after a couple tests the vet came in and broke the news about nose cancer in a sweet and loving way.They gave us our options, were realistic about the outcomes, and were tremendously flexible about letting us make the decision to let her go.The day it happened they were pros and very thoughtful...After all that, our new puppy is a new patient.  Thank you Belmont Animal Hospital!

I was new to Nashville and picked this place based on Yelp reviews. Everyone's high ratings are correct. The doctors and staff are super nice and knowledgable. They don't try to get you to do things you don't need. It's easy to get an appointment. Very clean and nice inside, has a friendly feel. They all love my boxer Zoe. I would definitely recommend this vet to anyone! Read Less

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 :) Read Less

The staff and doctors are friendly and knowledgable at Belmont. They go above and beyond to treat each customer and their pet with kindness and respect. The doctors are progressive and use techniques to help the animals feel less stressed and worried. I completely trust Belmont Animal Hospital with my furry children and drive over an hour to see them. Read Less

Such a wonderful place. I really connected to the vet staff and felt like they cared and took time to explain a few perspectives on how to treat my pup.My previous vet was booked up and couldn't/wouldn't make time to see my dogs fairly serious health issue...but I called Belmont and they said to come in that day and they would see me in between appointments. Really appreciated that Read Less

We've been going here for six months and I wouldn't take my dogs or cat anywhere else. We've taken both of our dogs here for extensive blood tests, vaccines and nail trims, all of which have been informational and quick. We recently adopted a cat, and Belmont has been great at keeping us up with his vaccines. They're also treating him for a parasite and seem very knowledgable about kitten problems. We see Dr. Eadie, who is by far our favorite vet we've had. We've seen a LOT of vets, but Eadie is the kindest and most knowledgable of both dogs and cats that we've seen. The other vets here are good as well, but if you can get in with Eadie, do it! Your pets will thank you. Read Less

Just moved to the area and picked this Animal Hospital after researching on Yelp. I had a similar great experience today during our 1st visit. Fenway, 7 month old yellow lab weighing in at 70lbs has a whole lotta love and energy to share with everyone he meets. The staff was very sweet and accommodating. Dr. Zika was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer my questions. Happy Tails! Read Less

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!Read Less

Very Impressed...I adopted a cat from a local shelter, only to realize 2 days later that something was wrong. I called Belmont Animal Hopspital, explained my situation, and they got me in that same afternoon. Not only did they fit me in, they stayed an hour after closing. Never once did I feel rushed and Dr. Sewell was very compassionate and throughly explained all the possibilities, options and possible outcomes. He also called four days later to see how the kitty was doing. Overall I was very impressed with the facility, staff and Dr. Sewell. Read Less
