Gulf Coast Large Animal Clinic

Gulf Coast Large Animal Clinic is where Dr. Gregg Knape and his staff are dedicated to the health of livestock and other large farm and barn animals

Dr. Gregg Knape DVM was raised on a farm in Alvin, Texas. The farm produced dairy products along with hay. The success of the farm depended largely on the health and well-being of the livestock on the farm. Dr. Knape early on showed a knack for taking care of these animals and keeping them healthy. His love for animals led him to Texas A & M University where he graduated in 1976 with a degree in veterinary medicine specializing in farm animals. After graduation, he worked in Nacogdoches, Texas for Doctors Jim and Mike Ward for five years before returning to the dairy farm to begin his own practice. He was accompanied by his wife and practice manager, Cheryl. They are also joined by Mr. Gary Batson, veterinary technician extraordinaire, who has been with the Knapes since the beginning. Gulf Coast Large Animal Clinic sits on 200 acres that is the original dairy farm that Dr. Knape was raised on and still calls home
