Knoxville Veterinary Clinic

Knoxville Veterinary Clinic We are a full-service small animal veterinary clinic that focuses on providing our clients and patients with exceptional care in a fear-free environment.

Knoxville Veterinary Clinic: started as a partnership of three veterinarians in the 1960s. The clinic had a small office on the Knoxville town square. The practice was very livestock-oriented at that time, and the veterinarians drove cars loaded with medical equipment and supplies to area farms to care for local livestock. Serving Marion County for Over Forty Years: In 1973, the practice grew to f

our veterinarians. By this time, the doctors went on calls in pickup trucks with special boxes on the back to hold hot water and vet supplies. A main office was built on the south edge of Knoxville on Hwy 24. Small animal exam and surgery rooms were built, and an extensive cattle-processing facility was built in and outside the office. A satellite office was opened in Pleasantville. In 1991, Doctors Mark Poell and Robert Conway left the practice. Dr. Craig Burk, the junior partner, became the sole owner and operated the practice with two associate doctors. Dr. Burk sold the large animal portion of the practice in 1994 to an associate and turned the Knoxville Veterinary Clinic into a strictly small animal practice. Dr. Maggie (Aleff) Wilson joined the practice in May 2009 when she graduated from the Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine. In March of 2018, Dr. Wilson and her husband Jeff had the opportunity to move back to Knoxville and purchased the Knoxville Veterinary Clinic from her former mentor, Dr. Craig Burk. They were overjoyed at the opportunity to return to Knoxville with their two children, Collin, and Courtney. In June of 2019, Dr. Stephanie Deneke joined the practice adding 15 years of experience to the team. Both Dr. Deneke and Dr. Wilson strive every day to give their best to our clients and patients. Thank you for trusting us with your beloved pet!

Also known as the zoomies, both cats and dogs experience FRAPs, but different circumstances are more likely to trigger the behavior in one species than in the other. Feline FRAPs most often occur at dawn and dusk, though activities like grooming and using the litter box may inspire them at any hour. When does your pet have its FRAPs?

This common myth isn't entirely accurate! While some dogs do eat grass and may eventually vomit, studies suggest that they might actually be seeking out the fiber or simply enjoying the taste. Dogs are curious creatures, and snacking on grass could just be part of their natural behavior. Plus, it's important to ensure your pup isn’t eating treated or harmful plants while they explore! Keeping an eye on what your dog eats is key to their health and happiness. Always consult us at 641-842-3316 if you're unsure about any behavior or if it becomes frequent!
