Hickory Veterinary Hospital

My parents had to get one of their dogs put down today. Not only was the staff so kind and caring, but they also had these baskets. One was filled with water bottles, and one with dog treats. They also had a little jar of Hershey kisses, so your dog can have a taste of chocolate before they pass on. They made a heartbreaking time as easy as they could for us. Just because of my encounter today, I will now be bringing my own pets to this vet for future treatment, because they truly go above and beyond for their patients, and their families. I highly recommend considering this vet if you're in Harford County. A big thank you to Hickory Vet for sending our dog off peacefully, and for taking care of her in the years leading up to now. I was so happy to see she was taken care of by such a compassionate veterinary practice.

I needed an international health certificate for my dog. Hickory is one of the few in the area who can certify pets traveling overseas. Although we are not regular patients at the practice they gathered his health info, walked me through the questions, provided the exam and made all of this seem easy with zero stress. They’re friendly, professional, and clearly dedicated to taking care of both the animals and humans. Highly recommend.

Dr. McCourt is the most knowledgeable vet I have ever been to. She is thorough, takes her time with both the person and dog. She offers behavior consultations and getting a second opinion regarding my dog's medication protocol has resulted in significant observable changes for the better! I highly recommend her.

Absolutely love this vet! Took my cat in same day for an emergency when his regular vet was on vacation and I was told they had no one else that was able to do vet visits. The girl at the desk were absolutely amazing and so caring. The Doctor and her assistant were so caring and really helped me and my baby is such a scary situation. They made him feel very comfortable. Thank you ladies for taking care of my baby!!!!

I was surprised how accommodating they were for the most part given our senior cat’s long term pillow foot (podedermititis) issues. They said they didn’t carry the injectables but also don’t recommend it. They prescribed and high recommended the oral meds which my partner fees stresses out our senior cat more. So we shall see how it goes… The fish tank in the lobby is a fun touch though.
