Even though I was relieved to get to take my cat to an emergency clinic on a Friday night, I left…read morefeeling baffled by the initial treatment plan. My (stray) cat had strong symptoms of something systemic going on. Even after I asked twice why we weren't giving antibiotics, I was sent home with a tranquilizer and a pain medication that makes a cat drowsy. My cat got worse and the following day. I called the doctor (Dr. Michael Beckham) twice and he encouraged to use the medication which I had initially not given him. I went back Sunday morning because my cat was almost comatose. I saw that his leg had swollen. Dr. Dean was more engaged. Questions were asked about leukemia and FIV and rabies vaccinations. My cat had an abscess on the leg. Rabies was on the table since I didn't know his vaccination status. I was told to stop using the tranquilizer (gabapentin) and the pain meds as they were not allowing to see his development. He received an antibiotic injection, and I took antibiotics home to treat him for 10 days. He is better this morning, Monday. I am angry with myself that I didn't insist on the antibiotics Friday night. I knew enough and had this gut feeling. Yes, the bloodwork was not totally definitive, but in doubt it's best to just go for it. I questioned the initial medication plan but no one could really explain to me the reasons for that decision. My cat was not in pain. He had symptoms of his body failing to function.

Our girl Tootie one day just didnt want to get up and move around. so we took her in to be seen…read moreimmediately. We were given the news she had cancer that spread from her belly to her lungs. She never displayed any symptoms of sickness and was the hardest decision to make to let her go peacefully. The doctor and staff made this awful moment as kind and respectful as possible. The doctor was very informative and understanding. The staff was polite and empathetic. They allowed us time to process, and make a decision. All of our questions were answered and options were made available that changed the rest of our lives forever. After some time we chose to have Tootie put to sleep instead of bringing her back home. I cried on the floor next to her when she drifted off to sleep. The painful feeling that she was gone was so strong i didn't realize the doctor was on the floor next to me too. She gave me unfathomable strength by just being next to me. After a week or so we were called saying Tootie was ready to come home. We were gifted with beautiful keepsakes and today she sits on the mantle in the living room. Thank you everyone here for making a tragedy into something special and very beautiful. Thank you

I would be devastated if I lost my dogs but we work alongside Parkway to keep them healthy.

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.

Having just moved to the area, I was referred to Brightman Pet Clinic as a caring, honest place to…read moretake our family dog when it had to be euthanized. The experience was horrible. First, they only do the procedure in the late afternoon. Our dog was old, and we knew the time would come when we would have to out her to sleep. However, the last couple days were bad. She deteriorated quickly. When we made the decision to euthanize her, waiting all day for the procedure was emotionally taxing. The worst part was when we arrived for our 4:30 appointment. Due to COVID procedures, they were doing the euthanasia in the car. No issues. The issue was we waited 1 hour and 10 minutes - 70 minutes AFTER our appointment - for the vet to finally come out to euthanize our family dog. It made a bad situation so much worse. Of course, the clinic will blame COVID, but 70 minutes! Come on. Like I said, we just moved to the area. I won't be able to give positive recommendations for pet care, but I can certainly tell people where NOT to take their animals.

This clinic is very friendly and helpful. About two years ago I got a kitten I named Blackberry. He…read morewas very sick. Once I got him stable and he was old enough, Brightman did his neutering and shots. They were more expensive than other places I called, but they really took good care of him. He was checked for FIV and other disease he may have picked up before we rescued him. They also offered pain meds to him which I thought was really great because all of the other places I called said male cats do not need pain control. Blackberry ended up needing some! Can you imagine being fixed and NOT having pain control? He was meowing a lot and trying to lick himself where he was injured - I realize that is normal but it's because they are uncomfortable. No reason to make your furamily member suffer! Unless that is how you treat all your kids? Lol. I hope not! In the office the sell some really great candles for pet odor control. They are pricy but fantastic! Green Apple is very fresh smelling and does not trigger my migraines or my son's asthma like many scents do. I have called in MANY questions and concerns and they were all answered promptly and with professionalism. We will go back to this clinic as needed and I would recommend to anyone. Remember, the cheapest is NOT the number one thing to look for when booking your pet's surgery (spay or neuter)!!! If you cannot afford to have your animal safely fixed you probably annoy afford your animal. Pets are family members and family members get sick. Getting sick can get expensive fast! Make responsible choices and find a vet you can trust like Brightman!
