Kevin Lowe
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
Kevin Lowe has always had a heart for animals. As he grew
up, his creature companions included wild birds at the
feeders around his home, insects, hamsters, dogs, cats, baby
squirrels, raccoons, lizards, snakes, turtles, tarantulas,
walking toads, ponies, and parakeets. Kevin befriended and
learned from all. (Well … maybe not the tarantulas!)
Providing care for animals as his ‘life calling’ came to Kevin around age 12, when "Joe", the family’s rescued German Shepherd known lovingly as “the million dollar free dog”, had numerous health issues needing the attention of a veterinarian. Making sure he went along every time when “Joe” made his many visits to Whitesburg Animal Hospital, Kevin watched with amazement as Dr. Mark Russell and Dr. Darla Morris calmed a frightened animal, thoughtfully diagnosed, explained their plan for best care, and then "fixed" his dog. In those experiences Kevin discovered what he HAD to do with his life. Asking if he could work at the hospital, yet too young to be hired, Dr. Russell let him volunteer as a kennel helper which started the chain of events leading to Dr. Lowe’s work as a Veterinarian today.
A native of Huntsville, Kevin attended Auburn University where he could be seen at the Auburn football and basketball games as a Stunt Man on the Cheerleading team. After his second year at Auburn, he traded his athletic scholarship for a part-time job in the Auburn’s Vet Med Parasitology Lab to help pay expenses for his studies. He graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Auburn in 2002.
Dr. Lowe worked in a Small Animal Hospital in Chattanooga, TN, then moved on to Washington, D.C. for further study and training through an internship in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, where he received extensive training in Internal Medicine, Orthopedic and Soft Tissue Surgery, and Critical Care. Before moving back to Huntsville to open own his practice at Flint River Animal Hospital, Dr. Lowe worked several years at an Emergency Animal Hospital in Atlanta, GA with focus on Triage, Diagnostics, and Critical Emergency Care.
Together, Dr. Lowe and his wife Angela, have three children and two furry four-footed family members … “Romeo”, an orange tabby cat with an attitude, and a rescued black and white bob-tailed kitten delivered by Santa Claus.
Through the years Dr. Lowe’s many, many pets and animal family friends, all orphaned rescues, have taught him well that …
