Who We Are

Companion Animal Health and Rehabilitation Center is a well-established veterinary practice serving North County San Diego for more than 40 years. Formerly known as Companion Animal Clinic, the practice relocated to a newly renovated facility and adopted its current name to better reflect the full scope of veterinary services now offered.

Under the leadership of Dr. Knox for more than two decades, Companion Animal Health and Rehabilitation Center has built a reputation for thoughtful, comprehensive care rooted in experience, consistency, and trust. The practice focuses exclusively on dogs and cats, providing both Western and alternative veterinary medicine through an integrative approach.

Care at Companion Animal Health and Rehabilitation Center is centered on pets and the families who love them. The team prioritizes clear communication, individualized treatment plans, and long-term relationships that support every stage of a pet’s life.
