About Us

Dr. H.R. Hornbaker was the original owner of what is now known as Knox Pet Clinic until 1960 when Dr. Donald Reeder graduated from the University of Illinois and purchased the veterinary practice. The practice was located on East Main Street in Galesburg, Illinois but was moved to West Main Street when Dr. Reeder built the clinic’s current location. The practice was known as Knox Veterinary Clinic. Originally, the practice was made up of 90% farm animals and only 10% pets. After two years of service in the military, Dr. Harold W. Watters joined the clinic in 1969. The number of pets being seen was increased from what was previously mostly farm calls. In 1975 the building was expanded to include the waiting room and large exam room as well as the second floor.

1975 also brought another addition when Dr. Benton C. Allen joined the practice, he had previously practiced on North Henderson Street. In 1985 Dr. Reeder retired from his work at Knox Pet Clinic. A small building in Knoxville was purchased and the Doctors opened Knox Pet Clinic’s second location at 105 S. Public Square in 1986. Farm calls were discontinued in 1988 and the practice moved to exclusively seeing pets. Dr. Brian K. Siever joined the clinic in 1999 and became business partners with Dr. Watters in June 2006. The name of the practice was changed in 2006 from Knox Veterinary Clinic to Knox Pet Clinic. In January 2016, Dr. Siever became the sole owner of Knox Pet Clinic. Knox Pet Clinic currently employs 3 full-time veterinarians, 2 part time vets, 3 certified veterinary technicians, a certified groomer, and over 10 other valuable team members.
