Harper & Scout Animal Hospital

Dr. Julie Buford is the founder and owner of Harper & Scout Animal Hospital in Bellevue. A small animal veterinarian, she opened Harper & Scout to build an independent neighborhood practice centered on exceptional medicine, personal relationships, and compassionate care. The hospital is named for Harper, her beloved hound, and Scout, her cat from veterinary school.

Originally from North Alabama, Julie lives in West Nashville with her husband and their four children. Outside of veterinary medicine, she enjoys reading, traveling, discovering secondhand treasures, and cheering on Alabama football. She is excited to put down lasting roots in Bellevue’s business community and care for its pets and the people who love them.
