Knoxville Veterinary Clinic: started as a partnership of three veterinarians in the 1960s. 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 four veterinarians. By this time, the doctors went on calls i
n 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!

Do non-shedding dogs exist? Nope, not yet! There are some dogs that are more hypoallergenic than others; however, no pup is 100% free of shedding. On the bright side, the dog breeds available that minimally shed are very helpful for those who deal with allergies and require less grooming attention.

Dental health is just as important for dogs as it is for us. Without regular dental care, dogs can be prone to yellow or brown discolored teeth, bad breath, redness and swelling of the gums, eroded gums, and loose and missing teeth. The first tip for brushing your pup's teeth is using a soft-bristle brush or finger brush specifically designed for dogs and toothpaste made for dogs. Once you've gathered your supplies, it's time to get your pup situated.
Do you have questions about how to care for your pup? Give us a call at 641-842-3316 and we can provide you with more personalized care.

Even more interesting is that it is four times more likely to happen when the yawn originates from a person your pet knows. Crazy, right?
