4 Veterinarians with 59 Yrs in Practice and a Lifetime of Caring. Come Experience the Difference
Hickory Small Animal Hospital was started in March 2009 with the goal of offering quality, compassionate, comprehensive veterinary care for your pet. We pride ourselves on offering a personal touch to our services ensuring you have the most information to prevent or solve your pet's problems. Since our inception we have experienced rapid growth and have recently added 225 ft2 to our main building and will be adding an additional 725 ft2 to our kennel facility.
To ensure our clients get the best deal on heartworm and flea medications, Hickory Small Animal Hospital will beat PetMed.com's price on heartworm and flea medications.
Feline Friendly
There are 13% more cats than dogs in the U.S., but cats make up less than 40% of veterinary patients. There are a number of reasons cat owners don't bring their pets to the veterinarian (lack of knowledge on the importance of yearly visits, owners concerned about transporting their feline pets, or owners concerned about their pets getting stressed while at the clinic).
Our goal is to:
- Educate owners on the importance of bringing their feline pets to the veterinarian once a year.
- Educate owners on how to minimize stress while transporting their cats to our hospital.
- Limit stress while at our facility by bringing your pet straight to the exam room.Go above and beyond to keep the noise down while in the exam room.
- Checking clients out in the exam room to decrease exposure to other animals in the reception area.
