Dr. Walker is a wonderful Vet. I took my terrier, Barkley there from the time they opened around 1997. He has a wonderful personality & the care we received was awesome. I also took my big chow mix, Mia there when we got her. For over a decade this was the ONLY place I would take my dogs & I loved the service. In the final years I noticed it was harder & harder to get Dr. Walker, there were new doctors & I never knew who I would get. When the time finally came for me to let go of my sweet Barkley, I was told they would give him a shot to relax him & then I could hold him as he passed away. I had talked with the office prior to this. They say they put an IV in his leg so I reminded them that Barkley did not like his feet touched & that he would be upset. The assured me it would be ok. As they tried to put the IV in Barkley of course flipped out... he was howling & whining the whole time. Within seconds they shot him with the full dose & he was gone! clinched into their arms, never letting me hold him or say goodbye. His last moments were in total fear & I will NEVER forgive them for the way they handled this. I can never get that moment back, I can never make this ok. I've had nightmares of this last moment. I had Barkley for 15 years, he was my first "baby". Dr. Walker as usual was not there & the staff didn't even seem to care about the way the handled the whole thing. Of course I was upset so the just assumed it was the loss of my dog, never even seeing that they were horrible.
I have been bringing my animals here for years. Dr. Walker is excellent and the new doctor; Dr. Ryan is wonderful and very compassionate. I know my animals are in good hands when either Dr. Walker or Dr. Ryan see them. The only draw back would be an emergency on a Sunday, but now there is an emergency clinic here in Prescott.
