Knowles Animal Clinic – 1923

In 1923, Dr. A. T. Knowles, who was both a medical doctor and a veterinarian moved his family from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Miami. His Florida veterinary license was number three in the state. He bought a farm and converted the barn into a veterinary clinic and hospital that started what was to become the oldest single family owned veterinary practice in South Florida. A.T. Knowles’ son, Jack, continued the family practice and gave it national and international prominence within the profession by being elected the President of the American Veterinary Medical Association in 1963. Dr. Jack also pioneered many surgical procedures to treat pets with a fractured pelvis which was once thought to be untreatable. He was named Outstanding Veterinarian of the Year by the American Veterinary Medical Association in 1956. In 1970, he became a founding member of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine.
