About Salt & Light Veterinary Clinic
Rooted in faith and inspired by the coastal beauty of Santa Rosa Beach, Salt & Light Veterinary Clinic was founded to provide heartfelt care for dogs and cats. As a family-owned practice serving Walton County communities, we’re committed to building genuine relationships and delivering veterinary care with compassion, clarity, and purpose.
Our Story
Salt & Light Veterinary Clinic was born from a vision of blending high-quality veterinary medicine with heartfelt service. Named after the words of Matthew 5:13-16, our clinic reflects the values of faith, purpose, and community. We believe in being a light to those around us — offering not only expert care, but also hope, peace, and integrity in every interaction.
Founded by a local veterinary professional, Dr. Kirt Yant, and his wife, Betsy, and run by a close-knit, dedicated team, we’re proud to be a one-doctor practice that truly gets to know each pet and their family. Whether it’s a first puppy visit or ongoing wellness care for a senior cat, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
Why Families Choose Salt & Light
In a world that can feel rushed or impersonal, we slow down and focus on relationships. Our clients know us by name — and we know their pets by heart. Because we’re a small team, you’ll see familiar, trusted faces every time you walk through our doors.
We also believe that modern veterinary care shouldn’t mean compromise. That’s why we invest in updated equipment, provide thoughtful treatment plans, and take time to educate and empower our clients. It’s how we build trust — and how we help your pet live their healthiest life.
