COMING SOON TO SPRING GARDENS!
Low cost vaccine clinic for your pet with Dr. Vaughn Walker - Comforts of Home Vet Care, PC.
Clinic will be open to the public.

Comfort of Home Vet Care, PC is committed to providing quality preventative veterinary services through the pet owning community in the Birmingham area. To that end, we've created our Express Wellness Clinics with low cost vaccines. These are a great opportunity for pet parents to get their little companions the care they need to stay healthy.

Every vaccine clinic includes a wellness exam for each pet you bring to the event. Dr. Walker MUST examine each animal in order to develop a valid Veterinarian-Patient-Client relationship, which allows owners to order prescription medications or for Dr. Walker to prescribe medications for your pet(s).

We offer core vaccinations and microchips for dogs and cats, as well as heartworm testing for dogs (cats generally do not require heartworm testing). The prices for each of these services are listed below.
