Knapp Veterinary Hospital

Knapp Veterinary Hospital is a Columbus, Ohio veterinarian and animal hospital dedicated to delivering the best in pet healthcare to you and your pet family members. We offer comprehensive veterinary care services from preventative care, nutritional counseling and dentistry, to pet surgical services, pet boarding, bathing, and more. Our experience and genuine affinity for animals is the reason why most of our client base is made up of patient referrals.

Knapp Veterinary Hospital was founded in 1945 by Columbus, Ohio veterinarian Dr. J. Harold Knapp at 633 Oakland Park Avenue (across from the street from the current hospital). Doctor Knapp was born in Lebanon, Ohio, and graduated from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1932. He remained on the faculty until starting his own veterinary practice. Knapp Veterinary Hospital was one of the first veterinary practices in Columbus devoted to the care and treatment of pet animals. In 1948, the practice moved to the current address and has served clients and their pets ever since. In the fall of 1996, Knapp Veterinary Hospital moved into a new Columbus hospital built behind the previous facility. This state of the art animal hospital allows our experienced Columbus veterinarians and veterinary support staff to provide the highest quality veterinary care for your pets in a modern, efficient, and comfortable animal hospital.

Our Mission:

The Knapp Veterinary Hospital dedicates itself to our clients and their companions by providing comprehensive, state of the art veterinary care in a professional, modern environment.

Our strong work ethic is established by maintaining a compassionate and devoted Health Care Team of Veterinarians, Registered Technicians, Receptionists, Kennel Assisstants, and Practice Managers. We are committed to client education, individualized preventive health care, and the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

We succeed through client satisfaction, personal and professional enrichment, and reinvestment into the practice and community.
