What They Say

Was looking for a new Veterinarian and very happy with Walker Vet Hospital! Customer service, informative, and compassionate with staff and doctors. Give a 10 out of 10. Taking all three of my dogs there happily.

Good value and knowledgeable. No waiting most of the time. Always 2-3 doctors at a time and weekend care available which is appreciated. All of our three dogs been going to Walker Vet for some time now. Never any complaints.

After 2 trips to vet this week alone, both unexpected and urgent, I am 100% convinced there is no better vet around than Dr. Boden here at Walker Veterinary Hospital. He is the most caring and sweetest doctor I’ve ever taken my dogs to and I’ve tried at least 5 others in the area. This is our primary vet from now on!
