Brentwood Animal Clinic has been owned and operated by Dr. Philip C. Hightman since 1987. Dr. Hightman is a graduate of the University of Illinois. A few years after graduation, Dr. Hightman relocated to Jacksonville to be close to his family. Although Dr. Hightman is primarily a small animal practitioner, he has a strong love and respect for all of the animal kingdom.
Brentwood Animal Clinic is a full-service veterinary clinic with state-of-the-art equipment. The doctors of Brentwood Animal Clinic pride themselves in using a complimentary approach to healing with both traditional medicinal practices and alternative medicinal practices. For more information regarding our alternative medicinal services, please proceed through our website.
Acupuncture is a suggested treatment mainly for functional problems, such as those that involve paralysis, noninfectious inflammation (such as allergies), and pain. In addition, regular acupuncture treatment can treat sports injuries as they occur and can help to keep muscles and tendons resistant to injury.
Firstly, our pets can't speak, they cannot tell us if they feel off colour or unwell or have any other indicators of internal illness. We need to examine them every 6 months as well as run some routine screening tests to detect underlying disease BEFORE it is clinically apparent. Use the age chart below to find your pets age in "people" years and the screening testing recommended for each stage of his or her life.
Many people have questions about various aspects of their pet's surgery, and we hope this information will help. It also explains the decisions you will need to make before your pet's upcoming surgery. Today's modern anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past.
Here at Brentwood Animal Clinic, we do a thorough physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics, to ensure that a fever or other illness won't be a problem.We also adjust the amount and type of anesthetic used depending on the health of your pet. The handout on anesthesia explains this in greater detail.

God. Literally just got off the phone with the receptionist asking about my pet's "first free visit" that it states he gets from the shelter I got him from. She cut me off before I could even finish my question and was very matter of fact that they do not do free visits. She was extremely rude about it. Money wasn't an issue I was just inquiring about the free first visit on his paperwork from the shelter. It read to bring him there for his first visit for it to be free or discounted. She did not have to be rude and basically yell and talk over me.

The lady Pam is pretty rude. Called about me animal that was dying might I add I have been to this place 20+ time's. Doc and everyone else are always nice. But I Tell you Pam has no social skills at least not proper. she will put a bad taste in your mouth instantly over the phone. But I have gotten this more than once out of her I believe if the owner knew the way she answered the phone he would probably be embarrassed and ashamed. Other than Pam and her negative attitude everything usually goes pretty smooth and well

I had a very good experience with Dr. Hightman. I practice naturopathic medicine with myself, my loved ones, and my animals, so we avoid white-coats. (This is not an invitation to debate on my choice of medicine, but a precursor for what I'm about to say) I reluctantly came to the clinic to get a blood draw and ended up having a nice conversation with Dr. Hightman.
I am positive that he and I do not align perfectly in our ideas/theories on what constitutes good medicine, but I didn't feel pressured to adopt any other systems of medicine. I felt supported to practice what ever methods I felt were

Brentwood goes above and beyond. We were in a bind with our dog's medication that has to be special ordered. They drove to another pet hospital, picked up the special medication and had it for us the next morning (Saturday). We love this place and really appreciate how much they care for their pets. cannot recommend enough.

I cannot thank this place enough!! My dog was unable to walk on one leg and I could not get in anywhere. I got a SAME DAY appt and Dr. Lynn is a GOD SEND as well as all of the staff. Very thorough, compassionate, takes her time, hardly a wait, and all around amazing! I have been through many vets in Jacksonville and i come from Jax Beach because they are worth it (and I don’t even leave the beach for anything else). Thank you to everyone here 💗💗💗 I will forever be grateful!
