At House Paws, we really care about your pets. We want you to know that everything we do and say is because we want your pets to live long and healthy life. Our love for pets is why we do this work and believe in it passionately.

We believe in providing wellness solutions to help keep your pet happy and healthy for a long lifetime.

  • We believe our pet companions deserve the best medical care possible.
  • We believe in preventative care to detect and treat conditions BEFORE a problem becomes a crisis.
  • We believe all animals deserve compassionate and gentle treatment.
  • We believe in open communication with our clients to ensure all clients understand treatment options and post-visit home care of their animals.
  • We believe that old age is not a disease and that pets can have a quality life well into “old” age without heroic measures and WITH a well-managed holistic wellness program – not just pills and shots.

“Dr. Knode and staff are wonderful! We met them by way of emergency and they were most compassionate with assisting us saying goodbye to our 14-year-old dog and family member! Today we brought our kitten in, and for our 2nd time meeting, they are consistent! Loving, compassionate and truly care about your animal whether first or last time meeting. I highly suggest this practice, they are wonderful 💗 We have found our Vet for our furbaby family, and are so thankful!”
