Our hospital first opened in 1953 under the direction of Dr. William Butler, and in 2007 Drs. Frank and Meg Davis decided to carry on his legacy of exceptional animal care here in Karns. We now offer a wide range of medical services and surgeries for dogs, cats, and large animals. Our facility is outfitted with digital x-ray, ultrasound, and ID technology.

Serving Knoxville, Tennessee, and the surrounding areas is a privilege for Hardin Valley Animal Hospital. We are committed to offering the best veterinarian care possible combined with warm, considerate service.

Every patient receives the same level of tender love and care from us, just as we would our own pet. We are a team of highly skilled, seasoned animal lovers who are committed to providing the best treatment for our patients.

Being a small clinic, we take pride in being able to provide a more individualized experience for our clients and their pets. We treat dogs and cats and offer preventive care, medication, treatment, and surgery. Since we don't offer boarding or grooming, we have a good relationship with nearby facilities and can help you find the best one for your needs.

We work with shelters, rescues, and pet parents in an effort to keep dogs and cats healthy and in homes. We do see small furry animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets for wellness visits and nail trimmings. We focus on those services most needed in the community in order to keep costs low and help those who may not be able to afford traditional veterinary care.

"Blackford Veterinary Surgery Referral is a state-of-the-art referral center for small animal specialty veterinary care. Specifically in the practice of orthopedic and soft-tissue referral surgery, our skilled surgeons, certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), carry out procedures that regular veterinarians typically do not perform because they necessitate advanced knowledge and technique, as evidenced by the years of additional training certified by the ACVS.

Pet Allergy, Skin and Ear Disease and Treatment Clinic: Our goal is to PREVENT the disease and symptoms rather than just spending money to treat the itch, infections, and symptoms over and over again. We provide affordable, safe, and effective treatment for the cause of allergy and skin disease (not just the itchy, stinky symptoms).

Our full-service hospital was founded in 1979 by Dr. Joseph Kendrick; today, Dr. Joe is joined by his son, Dr. Rick, his daughter-in-law Dr. Reichla, Dr. Lori Baxter, and Dr. Mary Alice Teague.
