Veterinarian
Kendall Bodkin
DVM, CEO
|
Dr. Bodkin started his veterinary career in 1988. Growing up on a farm in
Oklahoma, he feels very comfortable around all types of animals. In
1990 he brought his medicine to Hayden Pet Medical Center where,
even today, he strives for perfection. Moving into his new building in
2002 has made veterinary medicine even more enjoyable. He likes the
challenge of a difficult medicine case or surgery. His lovely wife,
Donna, and two great boys, Brady and Justin, combined with the North
Idaho environment make his life spectacular. Other than family and
veterinary medicine, Dr. Bodkin enjoys riding motorcycles, flying
airplanes and computer programming.

Clinic Cat
Abby
|
Abby came to the clinic in November of 1995 with a badly fractured
leg.
She was adopted by the clinic and her leg was repaired. She became
very
good at keeping her spot on the front counter warm and at greeting
all
incoming patients and clients. She is often called upon to be a
"demo"
cat, a job she is not fond of. She has her staff well trained and
keeps
us all in line.
