Walton County Animal Clinic is a full-service small animal veterinary clinic. Our facility includes a closely monitored hospitalization area, pharmacy, surgery suite, in-house radiology, in-house laboratory, and an outdoor yard for walking visiting dogs. We offer a complete range of veterinary services, including vaccinations, routine, major, and emergency medical, surgical, and dental services.
Our appointment book is computerized which allows us to efficiently make appointments for you and your pet. Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. Emergencies are accepted anytime our clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, please call us or come to the hospital immediately.
The single most important thing you can provide your pet besides keeping him/her protected against contagious disease is to provide proper dental care. Pain, bad breath and tooth loss are all signs of periodontal disease. The bacteria found in dental plaque and tartar from chronic infections can spread to the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.
Once a pet (dog or cat, puppy or kitten) is "enrolled" any vaccines (see list below) it receives are free for its lifetime. There is a onetime "enrollment" or "membership" fee for your pet's age. Enrollment/Membership will remain current, as long as the pet is examined by the doctor once a year (every 12 months).

I will never take my dogs anywhere else. Briar and I have always been treated with kindness and compassion and I wholeheartedly trust everyone at Walton County Animal Clinic. Genuinely a pleasure to work with and I always feel empowered and educated to make the best choice for Briar, and supported in her care.

This clinic have been outstanding in the diagnosis and treatment of my dogs lymphoma… Dr. B was instrumental in helping me get a diagnosis and explore options for chemo therapy and, when I decided on 2 places to do chemo treatment they couldn’t do in house, she helped tremendously in making sure information was shared. She has even been really responsive to my countless emails (keeping me confident in my decisions and letting me know her expert thoughts when I had my doubts)… and the office staff is super friendly and kind as we progressed with treatment… and also patient with me as I have

Thank all of you for getting Ziggy in so quickly! We can ALWAYS count on the professionalism and genuine loving care our pets receive. Honestly we cannot think of anything the clinic employees or Doc could have done to make the experience any better. We are so appreciative of the care provided Ziggy. He is doing great, almost completely healed, and back to normal.

I’m so pleased with my experience at this veterinary clinic. First, the front desk ladies are absolutely wonderful. I got my female dog spayed, she’s my first dog so I had a lot of questions. They answered all of my questions, and were so kind. They took the time to help me feel comfortable and at ease with the surgery I was unfamiliar with. Not only are their prices really good, but the quality is phenomenal.
I had some anxiety taking my girl in surgery day, but everyone at the clinic was so happy, positive, nice, and smiley. They helped us feel at home right away. After surgery, they were

I adopted a puppy at the Walton County Animal Shelter on Friday December 29th her name WAS Trixie. When I drove from Pensacola to go visit her I played with her got lots of kisses from her and I checked her out real good trying to figure her age. Mind you I'm not a veterinary however I worked as a vet tech for years. I guessed her to be between 6 to 8 weeks old. I begged the shelter to let me take her home and have her spayed once she reached 12 weeks of age. I was told NO they must have surgery before leaving the shelter. Well you would have thought the vet would have known better then to
