Kelley's Animal Clinic

Kelley’s Animal Clinic is a trusted veterinary practice located in the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan, dedicated to providing compassionate care for cats and dogs

Dr. James P. Kelley, better known as “Doc,” is the managing owner of Kelley’s Animal Clinic. Doc Kelley founded Kelley’s Animal Clinic in July 1970, after graduating from Michigan State University and earning his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. Doc Kelley was born and raised on Grand Rapid’s Westside and when he opened Kelley’s Animal Clinic over 54 years ago he finally achieved his childhood dream of loving and caring for animals. For many years he provided medical and surgical care, spays, neuters, and low-cost vaccines to the Kent County Humane Society until they hired in-house veterinarians. When they moved from their old facility on Bristol to their current location they dedicated their surgical suite to Dr. Kelley in honor of all the free and low-cost services he had provided them over the years. Kelley’s Animal Clinic became a designated Humane Society in its own right as it continued to do outreach programs to surrounding rescues and shelters, once again helping to support their medical and surgical needs at a low cost for their animals. In February 2010, Doc Kelley saw the overwhelming need for support from overcrowded shelters and founded his own non-profit rescue 501 3(c), Kelley’s Heart-to-Heart Pet Adoption Center, Inc. Hundreds and hundreds of cats, kittens, dogs and puppies have been rescued, received medical and surgical care, were given love and socialization skills and have been screened to find their forever homes since then

Mission — Our mission at Kelley’s Animal Clinic is to provide exceptional veterinary care with compassion and integrity, tailored to the individual needs of each pet. Through a commitment to excellence, client education, and community engagement, we aim to foster the health, happiness, and well-being of the beloved cats and dogs entrusted to our care in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and beyond
