Dr. Kennedy is a special man who happens to be an excellent Veterinarian. He is sensitive and kind. He is intuitive and brilliant. His help with my beloved doggos was soothing. I'll never forget him and can never tell him thank you enough. read more

Dr. Kennedy came to put our sweet boy Yoshi down yesterday. Our dog was suffering from osteosarcoma.. Dr. Kennedy made the experience so calming and was reassuring that we are making the right decision... He let us have our time with our dog, in between shots. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone!! read more

Sadly, we needed Dr. Kennedy to put our little 20 year old Pomeranian to sleep due to complications of dementia. If it had to be, it couldn't have been better. I was able to hold him in my arms while he peacefully passed. I am heartbroken. read more

Dr Todd Kennedy drove to my house to give rabies shots to my four 10-year old feral indoor cats. It was required by SCRAPS, even though they were cats that were never allowed outside. Dr. Kennedy was open to my helping by first getting the cats used to wire kennels over a period of a few months, then getting one inside each kennel the morning Dr Kennedy came out. I had a cushion inside each kennel so that I could gently push the cat against the other side of the kennel and hold him there. Dr Kennedy lifted the blanket covering the kennel, and gave the rabies shot into the leg through the space between the wires. The cats were scared, but not traumatized. They behaved normally after being released from the kennels. The total fee including travel was less than if I had trapped the 4 cats separately and driven them 20 miles to a vet. That would have been far too traumatic. Thank you Dr. Kennedy. read more

Dr. Kennedy is not just a compassionate veterinarian, but an amazing man. It's taken me two years to write this because the time was so bleak. My 15 year old GSD, who was with me through best and worst, was on his way out of the world. He seemed peaceful, not in pain, fully aware, and still wanting to eat, drink, and be loved. But time was short. I called Dr. Kennedy to discuss how to manage this--could I let this progress naturally? What does one do? He was an incredible professional and welcoming resource for me. When I asked to pay him for his time and advice, he declined. Because of his assistance, I was able to stay on course and do what I did. One morning not long thereafter, my boy passed peacefully and naturally at my feet. This is one exceptional vet, and one exceptional man. Thank you Dr. Kennedy. read more

Our sweet 18 year old kitty had kidney disease and suddenly stopped eating and had trouble walking. She had just been to our regular vet in the past week, and car trips always traumatized her. I found Dr Kennedy searching online, and I'm glad I did. He was able to come out the next day (so our family could be there), evaluate our kitty, and put her to sleep peacefully. He was very kind and compassionate; he gave us possible options for treatment but was honest about treatment being unlikely to help. He offered to step outside while we made the final decision with our daughter. Our daughter was able to hold our kitty while she passed away. Also, a couple days afterward, we received a condolence card from Dr Kennedy, reassuring us that we made the right decision and offering sympathy. It's sad to lose our little fur friends, but I'm glad there are vets like Dr Kennedy to help ease their passing when it's time. read more

I hoped this mobile clinic would be here because I wanted to write a review. My beloved 16 year old dog had been declining steadily over the weeks and months and we knew it was a matter of "when." Finding the right time to say good-bye is a difficult decision and we often don't have a lot of advanced notice. It becomes obvious and then it's time. And you hope that there is someone who can accommodate you in the way you wish. That's what happened. We knew we did not want to subject our beloved family member to a very difficult car ride (painful in and out of the car, limited mobility) take him to a clinic where all the terrible smells would assault him, where perhaps strangers would not take care of him, where he might be terrified and uncomfortable. So we found Dr. Kennedy. He was very accommodating, available, understanding and sincere. He came to our home and was very respectful with us and our pet. He helped us send him over the rainbow bridge in a way I will never regret. I am still mourning the loss of our pet, but not the actions we took nor the manner it which it was carried out. I wouldn't hesitate to call Dr. Kennedy for any reason whatsoever. On top of that, his prices seemed quite reasonable. read more

We love Dr. Kennedy! He is so knowledgeable and nice. I have health issues, and it's really hard for me to get my kitties to an office, so this is a perfect solution for us. Dr. Kennedy takes really good care of my kitties, and though it costs a little more than to take them to an office, Dr. Kennedy never does anything unnecessary and helps us make decisions that are easy on our budget. read more

North Spokane Mobile Veterinary Clinic - Buddy loves Dr. Kennedy! - Veterinarians Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I contacted Dr. Kennedy by e-mail last Monday night, and he responded early Tuesday morning, before his business hours. I had to let my 15-year-old lab go. He came and put her to sleep for me. He also contacted pet memorial services for me so they could come to a get her for cremation. He was very nice and supportive making a very difficult situation bearable. Thank you, Dr. Kennedy. read more

Dr. Kennedy is a great veterinarian. A wealth of experience and knowledge and a balance of kind caring and practicality. Most important, he makes the effort to do the difficult head and heart work our pets need for late life decisions. Our highest recommendation. read more

An Incredibly kind man full of more compassion and care than you could imagine. He made, what has been one of the hardest days of my entire life a smooth & gentle transition to peace. He was not only very professional, but he was very respectful. He came in, checked out my girl to make sure I wasn't just making up the situation to get rid of her like some do, then gave her a shot to sedate her, stepped outside to give us our private time, then came back in and gave her the other medicine, then stepped out again to let us cry and all of the things, then came back in one more time to make sure there was no heartbeat and she had fully passed on. He also is one of the only two who offer this kind of service to Spokane Valley. When he called, I had just gotten off the phone with the other clinic and they couldn't come for another 4-5 days. He called me back (I had called the night before and left a voice mail explaining the situation) before noon and came in 45 minutes. He did also offer cremation services but I had already picked out another one (Eternal Paws which does INDIVIDUAL pet cremation, so you are only getting your pet and also offer a pick up & drop off service so that is one less trauma in the whole process). Between the 2 clinics that do offer service in my area, he charged less. So in a time of spending a lot of money in, again, a very hard time, it was nice to know we were getting a fair price. All in all, I never want to have to go through this again but if I do, this gentleman is the first and only one I'll call. Thank you again so much Dr. Tod Kennedy. You a soothing, kind light. Thank you for letting me hold her the whole time so I could comfort her and for being so gentle with my little girl. read more

As another reviewer said, when the time comes to say goodbye to a beloved member of your family it arrives suddenly and with great sorrow. It was important to us that our 15 year old Pug, Ozzy, be in his bed, in the surroundings he knew and with the people he loved when he passed. Dr. Kennedy was highly recommended to us by a friend. The first thing about Dr. Kennedy that struck me was his soft, calming voice and demeanor. The second was his obvious skill and experience. Now I have two "favorite" veterinarians. I would call on Dr. Kennedy to attend to any of my pets needs. read more

Last week, I faced the difficult decision to say goodbye to my 6 year old dog. He had been ill, and his doctor determined that following gall bladder surgery, his liver was not functioning, and that he would not recover. After spending several days in the hospital, I wanted my pet to have his last few days and hours at home. Dr. Kennedy responded to my phone call promptly, and was able to accommodate our needs. He was very compassionate and understanding of my fears and sorrow. He gently described what would happen, and allowed me time to say goodbye. His gentleness with my dog, his empathy for us, and his reassurance was very helpful during this difficult time. It is evident that he truly care for the animals he sees, and understands the emotional needs of their humans. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kennedy to care for one's pet for any reason. Having veterinary care for your pet at home allows them to feel safe and secure and Dr. Kennedy's quiet demeanor is very calming for everyone. read more

I don't like to write bad reviews - especially for a business that has so many wonderful things being said of it. That said, our experience with North Spokane Mobile Veterinary Clinic was traumatic and devastating. We scheduled an in-home euthanizing appointment for our elderly (and slowly deteriorating cat). The end was a forgone certainty for her, but we wanted to say goodbye on our terms. After spending a wonderful afternoon cuddling and loving on our beloved kitty, we awaited the arrival of the doctor. When I opened the door, I was surprised by the frailty of the gentleman standing there. His shaking hands and weak voice did not fill me with confidence. Dr. Kennedy first performed a wellness exam on our other (younger) cat, and I was discouraged by the roughness with which he manhandled her - our normal vet has a much more tender touch and I regretted asking Dr Kennedy to perform the examination. Then it was time to say goodbye to our dying cat - after a cursory (and rough) "poke & prod" to ensure we were doing the right thing for her, Dr Kennedy prepared the syringe for the sedative injection. His hands were unsteady as he extracted the fluid from the vial and I became concerned for the comfort of our beloved pet. As to the injection, I held her firmly to keep her still while whispering calm, comforting words to her - to no avail. The doctor stuck the syringe harshly into her haunch, and then plunged the syringe so quickly that she yowled with uncharacteristic ferocity and tried to bite me before running off to the far end of the house. Naturally, her adrenaline kicked in to fight the sedative and she would not calm down. Dr Kennedy was puzzled that she wouldn't calm and go to sleep (in his words, "this cat is weird") so he could give her the final injection. It was no small wonder to me and my wife; the cat was worked up from the rough treatment. She reacted as though she'd been attacked because from her perspective she literally had. Dr Kennedy gave her another sedative injection while muttering about how our sweet girl was the strangest cat he's had to deal with in a long time. At this point, my now grief-stricken wife began asking if we could call the procedure off. Dr Kennedy said that after sleeping probably through the night, our kitty should be up and around, but he couldn't recommend it as we'd have to stay up with her and roll her over every 30 minutes to ensure her blood circulated properly. I now wish that I had asked him to leave before the second sedative injection (an injection which caused the poor cat to emit another low and pain-stricken yowl). We had planned for my wife to hold the sweet cat in her arms as her cat passed, but we were denied that as Dr Kennedy hovered over the cat's body with his stethoscope until the last. I had to nearly chase him from our bedroom so we could get a few moments alone with her lifeless body and allow our other cat to see her big sister one last time. I know this man has many glowing reviews, and that he has many long years of experience and knowledge. However, I could never recommend him at this stage in his career. His lack of compassion for our circumstance and his negative bedside manner for our "weird cat" left a bad taste in my mouth and rendered my wife heartsick and physically ill over the weekend after the procedure. Now, nearly a month later, she still has not allowed herself to grieve properly because the memory of what happened is too painful for her. I'm sorry, but I vehemently regret not taking our poor sick baby to our regular vet for her last moments. read more

Our dear little cat Gypsy was 17 years old and had inoperable cancer. Dr. Kennedy came to our rescue on a very snowy, messy road kind of day and helped her across the Rainbow Bridge when it was time for her to stop her suffering. I wouldn't put her through the trauma of a car ride and then strange smells at a vet's office. As another reviewer said he was incredibly kind and compassionate the entire time he spent in our home. Dr. Kennedy has great empathy and a gentle soul for his furry friends and the human ones as well. When time has healed our hearts and we get another cat, Dr. Kennedy will be our vet for happier times. We highly recommend this wonderful person to care for your furry children anytime. read more

This is a most kind compassionate understanding and caring person I've met in any kind of professional way. My dog was critically ill. And Doctor took care of her. I had nothing to offer him at the time. But making sure that my dog didn't die and she was cared for was more important to him. Amazing veterinarian! I can't say enough good things about him. Needless to say my dog healed completely. And she lived 8 years longer! Thank you so much dr. read more

I signed up to 'Yelp' specifically to write a review, but it hasn't appeared so I decided to try again..... We called North Spokane Mobile Vet Clinic this past Monday, after our dog, who is elderly, started acting seriously ill. She was in obvious distress- breathing hard, not moving, eating or taking hydration, and as she is a large dog it was nearly impossible to transport her ourselves to her regular vet's office. We called Dr. Kennedy, and within a few hours he was able to come to our house, where he quickly worked out what the problem might be. In no time at all she was her normal, goofy self again- mooching treats and chasing the cats, and she really liked Dr. Kennedy, even if he did have to perform a rather invasive procedure, topped off with a rabies booster! We were truly worried that she was not going to make it, so her recovery seemed nothing short of miraculous. We are very grateful to Dr. Kennedy, and plan on continuing his services- it was so much less stressful for our dog than going to her old vet's, and his prices are extremely reasonable. Thanks, Dr. Kennedy! read more

A few weeks ago we had come to the realization that our 15 year old black lab needed to be put down due to his rapidly declining health. My family knows Dr Kennedy and recommended that we call and we did. Dr Kennedy came to our home and was very professional. More importantly he was incredibly kind and compassionate with our entire family. He gave us time with our little old man and respected our need for that time. Despite the fact that we said goodbye to our beloved lab we had the pleasure of meeting Dr Kennedy and he is the type of vet that you want to care for your beloved family member. read more

Luna was adopted May 11th 2008. At 3 years old. It was meant to be. Her owner was surrendering her that very day because he found a new job that would be taking him out of town 3 weeks a month. She didn't even spend a single night in the kennel. It was love at first sight. He paid for all of the adoption costs and Luna went home with me. She was my first pet in adulthood and I never thought I would have to put her down. When she was diagnosed with cancer I was beside myself and new I didn't want her to suffer any longer. My boyfriends dad recommended that Dr. Kennedy was a mobile veterinarian and he was very kind during this transition. I looked him up and his reviews were wonderful. When he came to the house he was very empathetic to our situation and said all the right things. He helped Luna pass peacefully and it was a blessing to have him come to the house making it more comfortable for both of us. Taking her to a clinic where she would have been scared and confused would have been more painful. Thank you Dr. Kennedy for your kind words and gentle care of Luna during her passing. read more
