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!

Essential oil diffusers may smell pleasant to us, but some oils can be harmful to cats.

Because cats groom themselves frequently, oils that settle on their fur, paws, or nearby surfaces can be ingested over time. Cats also process certain compounds differently than people, making them more sensitive to some essential oils.

True! Bathing too frequently can remove the natural oils that help protect your pet's skin and coat, leading to dryness and irritation.

How often your pet should be bathed depends on their breed, coat type, lifestyle, and any underlying skin conditions.

Most healthy cats don't need routine ear cleaning. In fact, cleaning your cat's ears too often can cause irritation. Instead, check them periodically for redness, swelling, a bad odor, excessive wax, or discharge.

If you notice any of these signs or your cat is scratching at their ears or shaking their head frequently, it's time for a veterinary visit.

Have questions about your cat's ear health? Call (641) 842-3316.

We've all been there... You sit down to answer one email, and somehow 30 minutes later you're rubbing your dog's belly instead.

Be honest...how often are you guilty of a little "pawcrastination?"

It's true! A healthy adult cat's heart typically beats between 140 and 220 times per minute, compared to about 60–100 beats per minute in most adults.

Kittens often have even faster heart rates because they're growing so quickly.

Cats may be small, but their hearts work incredibly hard every day!
