Hickory Ridge Animal Hospital 10328 Owen Brown Road, Columbia, MD 21044

"I found the staff friendly and knowledgeable. I liked the homey feel of the office. It all seemed to be designed with the pet’s comfort in mind. My new cat really enjoyed the churro treat she got after her blood test. It really helped comfort her."

"The staff is wonderful. The friendly and comforting feeling that I had leaving my dog for her annual exam. They explained step by step what they were going to do. Afterwards the veterinarian called thoroughly went over the whole exam process and gave results. When I picked her up just the care and comfort the staff showed me and my pet was just awesome. I live very close to another vet hospital but since day 1 over 2 years ago I chose Hickory Ridge over Rocky Gorge and would do it again."

"I found the whole team at Hickory Ridge Animal Hospital very kind and friendly. I'm sorry I don't know many names yet, but the fact that my first appointment was moved up (by Diane?) instead of cancelled (because of the weather) blew my mind! When I walked in, everybody was so nice to me! And throughout the whole appointment, the kindness continued! From the woman with the long red hair, the vet tech (Kelly?), Dr. Parrish, and Diane (?) checking me out. I appreciated the staff not taking the urine sample I took in the morning in case it gave erroneous results and instead, letting me get a urine sample from my dog during the appointment. I appreciated the way Dr. Parrish answered all my questions! I could tell that she really loves and cares about animals, which is very important to me. It took me a long time to find a new vet, and I'm so glad that I did my research because I am proud to say that Hickory Ridge Animal Hospital is my new vet! I already recommended you guys to my neighbor today! Thank you for caring about animals and their humans!"

"We had our first visit here with our first pup, and it was wonderful! The techs were so kind and quick to help transcribe notes and provide us with handouts about everything the vet debriefed us on. The vet gave us tons of information on what to expect as new owners and we left feeling well informed. We felt very comfortable with how transparent and responsive everyone was. The whole clinic feels old school because they take the time to get to know you and your pet’s lifestyle before giving any recommendations—making the whole experience feel personable and authentic."
