We love Jennifer! I have two Shiba Inus, which are not exactly an easy breed to care for. I have…read morea very difficult time trusting anyone to watch them. Jennifer has been our go-to pet sitter since we moved to Shalimar over a year ago. She has watched the dogs several times now and we've always been happy - so have Koga and Sango! I deducted one star for ease of communication and updates. Communication with Jennifer is through email. She's not a texter, so it takes an hour or so for her to get back to you. Not bad response time at all and I'm sure she would call you immediately if there was a need. I would completely trust her to handle an emergency. But we had a pet sitter in a different state that texted updates with photos at every visit, and scheduled through text. It was just faster communication and the photo updates were a nice touch.

While our pups are not the doggie daycare type, they were stinky. I stopped in and spoke with the owner, Josh. I was impressed with his passion for his business and his knowledge of the Fort Walton Beach area. After talking with him, I completed an information sheet on the dogs. It was great to see the vaccine records checked before the dogs could be groomed. Kaylee, the groomer, called me and we scheduled the appointments. Over the phone, Kaylee was so personable. In person she was so professional and positive about our dogs. When we picked them up, the dogs both smell good and are SOOOO SOFT. If we lived here, Kaylee would be our groomer! Thank you Josh and Kaylee. We are happy that we found Mercy's Stay+Play!

They become destructive and anxious if they don't receive enough mental stimulation. How they are trained is very important as well. Many trainers want to use prong or e- collars on this breed. I was thrilled to find Jennifer that trains with reward and not pain or fear. When we began classes with her my puppy could not be left alone in a crate for 5 minutes without him trying to eat through the bars. If he was left out of the crate,he ate my door jambs and even my Sheetrock. From 6 months old to 9 months old her classes and instructions have totally changed my pup. I can now leave him at home in a crate with him being relaxed and take him on walks with me being able to relax. Her ideas for mental stimulation worked wonders. I would highly recommend Jennifer's classes and one on one training.

We boarded our dog here during a short business trip and had an absolutely heartbreaking…read moreexperience. Our dog is a sensitive, anxious boy -- this was his first time away from home. We provided everything: his crate, toys, custom-cooked meals (beef, carrots, rice), dry food, water and food bowls, even a special chew stick. All they had to do was keep him safe, fed, and take him out. When we picked him up, they casually said he was "fine" -- just "a bit aggressive during the storm." That's a lie. They wouldn't even bring him out to us. We had to open the kennel ourselves, and he came out *terrified,* shaking, and trying to escape like his life depended on it. Once in the car, he shed an abnormal amount from stress. When we got home, the horror became clear: - His bowls and food containers were returned empty, but our dog was starving. - The chew stick was missing. - He drank and ate frantically as soon as he got home. - He struggled to urinate, and when he did, it was dark brown, thick, and painful. - He could barely poop -- then suddenly had 5 massive bowel movements and 11 urinations within few hours. His stomach was rock-hard and painful to touch. This poor dog clearly wasn't let outside, wasn't fed properly (if at all), and was likely locked in a small room for two days like in jail. This is not just unprofessional -- it's neglectful and cruel. I regret ever trusting them with my dog. If you care about your pet's health and emotional well-being, please go somewhere else. P.S. A year and a half ago he was a small puppy and this place under previous owner. This time dog was never been outside for 2 days. Never fed. He was very scared. The quality of this dog's "hotel" scared even German Shepherd! If I can put -10 stars, I would. There is no qualified stuff there and overall all conditions for the dogs are terrible. Super small place, packed with scared dogs all types and they are barking so loud all the time, so you can't talk to the stuff at all. So the stuff didn't even have a chance to hear any instructions of your dog. This place is not for a dog you love, definitely!

She is very understanding and always answers any questions you may have, and if she doesn't have the answer she will find it and get back to you. I am so grateful to the team at [Friendship Veterinary] for their incredible kindness and thoughtfulness. After my beloved bunny, Twinkie passed on 3/21/26 under the care of another clinic, (my bunny had GI stasis and had to visit the ER hospital in niceville since this happened over the weekend) they sent a heartfelt letter of condolences and flowers. Their compassion and understanding during such a difficult time meant the world to me. They treated Twinkie like family, not just a pet, and I will always be grateful for their caring hearts. I would highly recommend Friendship Veterinary to anyone with pets especially exotic animals! Thank you once again.

First, thank you to the entire front desk team for your warmth, kindness, and constant willingness to help with anything we throw your way. Next, an equally big shoutout to the AMAZING Ashley and to Dr. Logan Real. Ashley is one of those techs whose presence instantly puts me at ease, and Dr. Real has officially earned his spot on my "10/10 would recommend" list. Thank you both for taking such good care of Lily today. To the legendary Regina - thank you for looking after our Sadie during her heartworm treatments. She's still new to our family and her anxiety gets triggered so easily. Knowing she has you watching over her helps my heart rest a little easier. Finally, the biggest thank you to my hero, Dr. Lindsay Matheson. She has been seeing our dogs for years and has NEVER disappointed. Last year, she performed a lifesaving emergency surgery for our Sammy and then walked us through her tough fight with cancer. Because of her, we were gifted extra time to say goodbye to the sweetest dog who ever lived. To say that my family holds every single hard-working human at Friendship Veterinary Hospital in the highest respect is the understatement of the century. For nearly ten years, we've brought our fur babies here and have received IMPECCABLE care every single time. These people BRING IT - with passion, expertise, and genuine love for our pets. And they do it all with a smile, even when dealing with frustrated, grieving, or downright rude pet parents. You are all heroes!

I've spoken to them via DM, phone, and in person. Each time they were apologetic but didn't take responsibility. We boarded our 2 pups for day care, on Tuesdays only, once a month to support our schedule. I lost track of the dates, but I have the receipts from the Vet. Our pups got sick on or around: 9/30/25 - Bordatella 10/24/25- vomiting and pancreatitis 11/26/25 - respiratory infection 1/15/26 - respiratory infection 3/5/2026- respiratory infection 6/11/2026 - respiratory infection Any statement from them that says "we didn't know" is patently false. They knew. Shame on us for believing them, and shame on us for putting out babies through this. We were truly acting in good faith, as we thought they were too. Thousands of dollars in vet bills for X-rays, medications, blood tests, exams.
