Clean professional abs very organized.Brianna J.Brianna J. ★★★★★ My wife and I were down here in Florida on vacation with our daughter and son-in-law. Our large party poodle was already in kidney failure. He got much worse and he got to the point where he could not stand on his own. Companion animal hospital was extraordinarily awesome. They took care of the euthanism with all the skill and professionalism of a heart surgeon. Technician Harley was so compassionate and understanding. The same goes for the vet doctor but I did not get her name. They were able to fit us in when they did not have to. A five-star review does not do this veterinarian center justice. This was a 10 star performance. We will be forever in debt to this center!!!Mike C.Mike C. ★★★★★ Thank you to Companion for their quick and compassionate care for my girl, Lana. I was seen as a walk-in on a busy Friday, and I had my dog back home by 3pm with answers, medication, and clear instructions for follow-up. Thank you Tori & team.

They are so accommodating, and kind, and gentle, and explains everything that’s going on everything that’s going to happen they do great follow up they seem genuinely concerned for not only your pet but for you as well. I will not take my pets anywhere else but Companion in Fort Walton Beach. I’m only allowed toleave five stars but I’d leave a heck of a lot more if I could. I am so grateful for these guys.❤️❤️❤️gina C.gina C. ★★★★★ Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.Thomas S.Thomas S. ★★★★★ When my cat came home injured, they were able to get us in very quickly.

Our most recent out-of-town trip was over the Thanksgiving holiday and we made sure to book many months in advance. The cost is very reasonable and gives us peace of mind when we're gone because we know the staff takes good care of our pets. Highly recommend and will continue to use their boarding services in the future.neenneen ★★★★★ After my dog got sick and the emergency vet didn’t help we took him to companion, they were very compassionate and did everything they could to help us, they found that our dog has something stuck in his belly and tried every possible option before surgery because they knew we were tight on money. We ending up having to do surgery and even then they were very knowledgeable and helpful, they kept good contact while he stayed over night and kept us up to date in a timely manner, I would definitely recommend this vet clinic they have a great, compassionate, and helpful staff.Lizzy G.Lizzy G. ★★★★★ Koko is stringing her new birthday bandana and treat from Ashley at todays visit.

Gina C.

We have taken our dogs to Companion Animal Hospital for at least 20 years. Dr. Epperson and all of the staff are terrific. They’ve seen us through the good times and the sad times and I highly recommend them.

Karen H.

I can not say enough about this animal clinic. I drive from Navarre just to go here. They are the best around. I love the doctors, the girls and the groomers. They are definitely there for the love of the animals. I have gone to 3 other vets and not one of them come close to being as loving and passionate about their animals as they are. Love love love them. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur baby. Thank you for all you have done for my family and I. We appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts.

Cindi L.

We love our Vet! They have taken care of our cats and dogs like they were their own. They treat us like family. They answer all of our questions and concerns. Best folks around.
