Questions

Dr. Walker specializes in routine and preventative wellness for dogs and cats. His primary focus is offering low-cost vaccine set-ups at local businesses and providing limited mobile house calls for vaccinations, parasite prevention, and minor medical conditions throughout Birmingham, Hoover, and Hueytown. As a solo practitioner, his ultimate priority is delivering a calm, completely stress-free experience for every pet he treats.

Dr. Walker holds walk-in, low-cost vaccine set-ups at seven convenient locations across the Birmingham area. These events are carefully designed to give your dog or cat access to essential preventative care without the high costs, or the typical anxiety and stress found in a traditional animal hospital waiting room.

No appointment is necessary for the low-cost vaccine set-ups. Dr. Walker runs them strictly on a walk-in basis to keep the process as simple and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. You can easily check the online schedule to find the most convenient location and time, and just bring your pet by.

Dr. Walker’s house call services are highly focused on preventative care and treating very minor issues—like skin allergies, mild eye problems, or comprehensive wellness exams—right in the comfort of your home. To ensure a stress-free and safe environment, he does not treat severely sick or injured pets, as the mobile unit is not equipped with bloodwork or X-ray machines.

Because Dr. Walker operates a mobile wellness and preventative practice, he is not equipped for emergency, surgical, or after-hours services. If your pet is experiencing an emergency in the Birmingham area, the doctor strongly recommends contacting Steel City Emergency Vets immediately at (205) 413-8989 to get them the urgent care they need.

No, he does not. As a mobile veterinarian focused exclusively on preventative medicine and low-cost vaccinations, Dr. Walker does not perform surgeries or dental procedures of any kind. He encourages pet parents to establish a relationship with a full-service local clinic for all surgical needs.

Dr. Walker wants to make every aspect of your veterinary visit as convenient and stress-free as possible, including the checkout process. Whether you are visiting one of his low-cost vaccine set-ups or he is visiting your home, cash, checks, debit cards, and all major credit cards are accepted.
