About Bellevue Animal Hospital
A Small-Town Feel in the Heart of Nashville
From day one, our mission has been simple: to provide compassionate, high-quality veterinary care while treating every pet as if they were our own.
Our Story
Welcome to Bellevue Animal Hospital, an independent veterinary practice proudly serving pets and families in Nashville, TN, and surrounding communities for over 40 years. As a locally owned hospital, we combine advanced veterinary medicine with a warm, small-town atmosphere, offering the best of both worlds.
When you walk through our doors, you’ll find a team that listens, a staff that works together, and doctors who genuinely care about the health and happiness of your pets. Founded on the belief that veterinary care should be personal, trustworthy, and accessible, Bellevue Animal Hospital reflects the lifelong dedication of owners Drs. Jeff and Susan Abelt who bring more than three decades of veterinary expertise and a lifetime of passion for animals.
This commitment continues at home—surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and even horses, the Abelt family lives the same love for animals that drives their work. This blend of professional skill and personal devotion shapes the culture of Bellevue Animal Hospital and sets the tone for every appointment.
