Adult Dog Care in Nashville, TN

Regular wellness exams are the best way you can assure longer life and the highest quality of life for your dog. Wellness exams at Belle Meade Animal Hospital are a great opportunity for you to discuss any concerns you have about your dog’s health with one of our veterinarians. We can discuss topics ranging from nutrition, exercise, dental care, and any lifestyle and age-related changes.

Our canine wellness exams include:

  • A comprehensive physical examination
  • Dental examination and preventative cleanings
  • Vaccines tailored specifically to your dog’s needs
  • Internal and external parasite testing and prevention
  • Heartworm blood testing and prevention
  • Diet, nutrition, and weight management counseling

Physical Exams & Vaccinations

Our canine wellness exams include a thorough physical examination that includes a body/muscle assessment, as well as an evaluation of your pet’s coat, skin, eyes and ears, nose and throat, heart and lungs, legs and paws, abdomen and gastrointestinal system, and urogenital system. We will also perform parasite testing, heartworm testing, and create a customized vaccination program for your dog.

Dental Exams

During your dog’s wellness exam, we can perform a professional dental cleaning for your dog. For more information about our pet dental services, please visit our page on dental care.

Parasite Prevention & Control

Our veterinarians will conduct a fecal exam each year to ensure that your pet is free of harmful parasites. We can also provide you with recommendations and provide safe effective preventative treatments for diseases like heartworm, ticks, and fleas.

Nutrition & Weight Management for Your Dog

A complete and balanced diet is essential for your dog throughout their lifetime. We can offer recommendations for the most nutritious foods for your pet according to your dog’s age, weight and current health. For extensive details about our nutrition and diet counseling, please visit our nutritional counseling page.

This has been my vet clinic for 48 years and I absolutely love Dr. Geller. I am so lucky to have had this clinic so close to home❤️
Thor’s appointment was on time.Everyone was great taking care of him.Caring folks make the difference
I highly recommend Quakertown Veterinary Clinic. We have been using QVC now, for 19 years. My Maltese have been cared for brilliantly by Dr. Nancy Barin. She has cared for our Maltese from Puppyhood to Rainbow Bridge. I would not want to go anywhere else. Thankfully, QVC is a full service clinic including a 24 hour emergency hospital staffed with caring professionals, which is an added bonus.
We had a chick that had a kinked neck about 2 weeks into her life. Thought it might be wry so added some vitamins to no avail. She was our only buff orpington and I assumed that she'd either get better or pass but two weeks later she was still kicking and still had a kinked neck. Decided to take her to the vet really just to see if her quality of life could be okay and Dr. Payton checked her out and took great care of her, explained what she thought was the most likely cause, and gave us some anti inflammatory medicine to hopefully help relieve some tension and help her heal. She was kind enough to teach us how to administer droplet medication to a chick as well, which is not something I'd normally do but my wife quite likes this particular chick. She made it look a lot easier than it is.We didn't have to wait long, the rest of the staff was friendly, and we had no issues at this vet.The price was reasonable even though I realize it may be a bit silly to take a chick to the vet.I'd take birds here again and highly recommend Dr. Payton Smith
