Volunteer Veterinary Hospital

Preventive Care

Dental Care
You, as the owner, will be counseled on subjects such as dental care, nutrition, exercise, and the warning signs that something more serious than aging is affecting your pet.
Vaccination
At Volunteer Veterinary Hospital, we recommend wellness exams, booster vaccinations, and de-worming every 3 weeks until your puppy or kitten is approximately 16 weeks of age. These visits give us the opportunity to get to know you and your pet, as well as check for any developing medical or behavioral conditions. These visits also allow you, as the pet owner, to become familiar with Volunteer Veterinary Hospital and all of the services we provide. We look forward to providing the highest quality veterinary care for you and your pet for years to come.
Veterinary Ophthalmology
As your pet begins to age, his or her eyesight may be negatively affected. The key to protecting those aging eyes is yearly or even bi-yearly comprehensive exams at a veterinary hospital that features pet eye care.
Behavioral Counseling
Nutritional Counseling
Comprehensive Examination
With the exception of a few breeds, most pets become seniors around the age of 8. Thanks to advancements in veterinary medicine, dogs and cats are living longer than ever before. The bad news—the increase in lifespan is accompanied by an increase in ailments and diseases that can potentially affect your pet. A proactive and preventive approach to your pet’s health is more important than ever before. This is why we suggest increasing his or her physical exams to twice per year.

Illness Treatment

Parasites Treatment and Control
Grooming also benefits the physical health of your pet. Washing, cutting, and brushing an animal’s coat removes dead skin cells, dead hair, dirt, and debris—all of which are breading grounds for bacteria, mites, and parasites such as fleas and ticks. In the case of the aforementioned parasites, they have the ability to carry diseases that are transmittable to humans. Keeping them under control will not only bring major relief to your pet, but also it will help tremendously in keeping your home sanitary.
Pain Management
An in-house pet pharmacy is one of the most convenient services a pet clinic can offer. Not only does it provide one-stop shopping for the pet owner, but it also allows for the pet to be treated as quickly as possible. When it comes to pain management, or any ailment for that matter, expedient relief is the highest priority.
Vomiting Treatment
Diarrhea Treatment
Skin Condition and Allergy Treatment
If you have ever suffered from an allergy, you know exactly how miserable of an experience it can be. Pet allergies are quite similar. The only difference is their relief depends on your diligence and commitment as an owner.
Injury Treatment
Human patients have reported little to no sensation during laser therapy. If anything, they claim to feel tingling or soothing warmth within the treated area. These areas can be sensitive for a few days subsequent to therapy, but what typically follows is a healing response.
Intestinal Foreign Object Removal

Infection Treatment

Parvovirus Infection Treatment
Feline Retro Virus Treatment
Bacterial and Viral Infection Treatment
Ulcers of your pet’s cornea can occur for a host of reasons. Everything from an injury to an underlying disease may be the cause. An examination to determine if an ulcer exists is the first step. A fluorescein stain test, cultures, and blood tests may be used to rule out either a bacterial or viral infection. Once an ulcer is diagnosed and its cause determined, treatment can be prescribed.

Chronic Condition Treatment

Arthritis Treatment
Hip Dysplasia Treatment
Thyroid Disease Treatment
Heart Disease Treatment
As with the prevention and diagnostics practiced at Volunteer Veterinary Hospital, the treatment and monitoring we provide is both high quality and comprehensive. Our anesthesia monitors enable us to monitor you pet’s EKG, oxygen and CO2 levels, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and even blood pressure while they are sedated. Our pledge to every owner is if we can’t help your pet, we will find you the referral specialist who can.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
If left untreated, periodontal disease will cause bone loss. Teeth begin to loosen and will eventually fall out. Not only does this affect your pet’s ability to eat, but it also creates a breeding ground for infection. Through the blood stream, the infection will have a direct path to major organs such as the liver, kidneys, and heart.
Cancer Treatment
Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Biopsies and surgical excisions are done in our surgical center and samples are sent to a board-certified pathologist for evaluation and diagnosis. We design your pet’s cancer treatment based on his or her specific needs. Consultations with a board-certified oncologist are made should the need arise.

Wound and Fracture Care
One of the more common orthopedic surgeries a veterinarian will perform is a fracture repair. At Volunteer Veterinary Hospital, we have definitely seen our share. Our veterinarians stabilize fractures using pinning, wiring, and splints. We work tirelessly to optimize your pet’s full recovery from a fractured limb.

Dental Surgery
It’s important to know that whether your pet is getting a teeth cleaning or a bigger dental procedure such as an extraction or oral surgery is performed, he or she will undergo anesthesia. This means NO FOOD THE NIGHT BEFORE and you must prevent access to water on the morning of the procedure.
Ophthalmic Surgery
Veterinary Surgery
Whether you are visiting us for pet health care, or any type of soft tissue or orthopedic surgery, you can take comfort in knowing we’ll have the medication your pet needs. The best part—it’s all in one location.
Spaying and Neutering
Soft Tissue and Orthopedic Surgery From routine neutering and spaying to more complicated procedures, our surgical center and skilled veterinarians can handle almost any pet surgery.

Laboratory Services
When it comes to blood work, urinalysis, or testing for various illnesses, there is nothing more convenient and efficient than a veterinary hospital with an on-site lab. Add to that a modern facility, featuring the latest in veterinary diagnostic technology, and what you have is a neighborhood hospital unlike any in the South Knoxville area.
X-Ray
In addition to the aforementioned services, we also assist in pregnancies and deliveries. Pregnancies are confirmed using our digital ultrasound. As the due date nears, digital radiography can be performed to help estimate the litter size. We also educate owners on how to ensure a healthy pregnancy for their pet. Deliveries, especially when C-sections are performed, are handled in house and consultations on post-birth subjects such as puppy rearing and lactation are also available.
Dental Radiology
Dental Care From digital radiography to high-speed cleaning and polishing, our facility features the latest equipment in pet dental care. We perform digital dental X-rays, routine cleanings, extractions, and various types of oral surgery.
Microchipping
An identification microchip can be implanted at anytime after your puppy or kitten’s first few weeks, but the spay or neuter operations present the perfect opportunity to perform two procedures at the same time. Your puppy or kitten’s initial checkup is a GREAT time to discuss microchipping and its many benefits.

General Pet Care

Boarding
Boarding and Bathing From daycare to extended stays, we offer pet boarding for your dog, cat, or pocket pet. Our ample facility and outdoor runs ensure your pet will have plenty of space, and our dedicated kennel staff and in-house veterinarians are there to tailor your pet’s stay to his or her lifestyle.
Grooming
Cher was born and raised in Miami, Florida. After graduating from the Florida School of Dog Grooming in January 2000, she opened Picture Perfect Dog Grooming in Lutz, Florida. Cher sold her successful business in 2005 and moved to Knoxville to live near her daughter. She has groomed pets at Volunteer Veterinary Hospital since 2005.
Senior Pet Care
As your dog or cat gets closer to becoming a senior pet, he or she becomes more susceptible to various forms of cancer. While no one symptom equates to a diagnosis of the disease, there are a few signs you should be on the lookout for, including...
Dog Training
Animal Daycare
We offer pet daycare five days a week, as well as extended stay boarding. Regular bathing is available Monday through Friday, and a professional pet groomer is on site Tuesday through Saturday to handle the more extensive grooming services. Both bathing and grooming carry an extra charge and require an appointment.
