Kneser Veterinary Services LLC

Kneser Veterinary Services LLC was established in 2016 by Dr. Cara Kneser. She specializes in equine and farm animal medicine.

Exceptional care for an animal is only possible when a dedicated veterinarian works closely with the owner. My goal is to create and maintain a relationship with you to ensure that your animal gets the best veterinary care possible each and every time I pull into your farmyard. I provide routine and 24/7 emergency care for your horse, goat, or other farm animal. The area I cover includes Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Welcome to Kneser Veterinary Services, a mobile large animal practice based in Plainfield, CT. We provide farm call visits throughout eastern Connecticut and western Rhode Island, as well as appointments at our office in Plainfield.

The majority of our work is routine- things like animal wellness exams and vaccinations, coggins testing, writing health charts, and doing equine dentals. When a situation calls for it, we also have a digital x-ray machine, ultrasound, gastroscope as well as fluorescent light and class 4 laser therapy. And for those “oh no” moments that can happen, we provide 24/7 emergency service for our clients.

We would like to introduce you to our staff: Dr. Cara, owner and sole veterinarian; Keri and Bailey, the veterinary technicians who assist Dr Cara; and our office manager Sara, the voice that many of you have come to know. Swipe to meet the team!

If you have been looking for a vet, give us a call. If you are already one of our clients- thank you. We are so glad you are here!

Have a safe and happy week, everyone!

Happy rainy Thursday! Tomorrow (Friday Sept 4), Sara will be out of the office. Our staff will be monitoring the office phone line throughout the day, but if you know you will need any medications before the holiday weekend, please call today to make arrangements for pick up. (The photo below is Oliver giving his Moomoo a good check up. She passed with flying colors!) We hope you all have a safe, happy and sunny weekend😊

Because life is not frustrating enough, someone is running a scam off of my business FB page. Please do not click on any link that is "selling" anything (mugs, sweatshirts, hoodies) associated with Kneser Veterinary Services. I hope that none of you have fallen for this-the post has been deleted and hopefully this solves the issue. ARGH!!!!!!

It is with great sadness that I would like to let our clients know that "Office" Karen Spanos, a mainstay of the practice, passed away on Sunday October 5th. As I contemplated what to say in this post, I reflected on my 20+ year friendship with Karen. We met at a small animal practice in Bozrah, when I brought in my daughter's cat who I had poisoned with an off-label flea and tick preventative,. She gave me such grief about that (aren't you studying to be a vet, Cara??), to the time we both let go of a fractious cat, who proceeded to race around the office, knocking everything off of every counter, to the infamous time I raced in with a dog that had been hit by a car. In my haste, I didn't bother to put shoes on my then 4 year old daughter. (Kate--doesn't your mom buy you any shoes!!!) Karen always had a smile and a wisecrack to make. In more recent years, Karen came to work with me in my practice. Her most difficult and frustrating task was her attempt to protect me from myself. There were times she would just throw her hands in the air and scream--"You tell me no appointments after 5 pm, and then you turn around and add 3 more!" ,or.."You are not going to try to treat the feral 6 year old angus bull with no headlocks!" I would smile, and then head off, with Karen shaking her head (or fist) at me!
Before I graduated from vet school, Karen was my teacher. After that, she was my protector. But always, she was my friend.
She will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Rest easy Karen, and enjoy all the good Berner kisses there are in heaven.

Because this heat wave isn’t stressful enough, tomorrow (July 9th), we will be implementing a new office phone system. Once installed, this system will increase our efficiency and allow us to better serve our clients. For those of you wondering if I am up to this task, don’t worry! Kate will be at the desk tomorrow handling all the details, while I will be happily on the road working, far from any hint of technology and progress. In all seriousness, if during the transition you have an emergency and are unable to get through to us on the phone, please send an email to [email protected]. We will be monitoring our email very closely throughout the day, and will respond to you as quickly as possible. I thank you all for your patience. Please stay safe and cool tomorrow! (Photo of my cute friend who doesn’t care if I am tech-savvy or not😂).

Many of you have asked us where "office" Karen has been these past few months. We are sad to announce that due to medical issues, Karen has decided to retire. We all miss her and wish her the best as she regains her health, and finally has time to spend with her beloved Berners and her horse Sarah.

We hope you will bear with us as we establish our new office schedule. There may be a few afternoons when the office is not staffed, but be assured that all messages left will be answered within 1 business day. As always, all emergency calls will be forwarded to the veterinarian on call.

Thank you to Karen for putting up with us for so many years--you've earned a nice long happy retirement!!!
