About Hickory Small Animal Hospital Hickory Small Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary hospital offering quality, compassionate, innovative veterinary medicine. We opened our doors in March 2009 with the goal of offering the best veterinary care possible and in that short time we have evolved into the fastest growing and most technologically advanced veterinary hospital in Tangipahoa Parish. Every year our clinic evolves so that we can keep up with the latest in veterinary medicine. To accomplish this we add on to our facility, staff numbers, new equipment and new medical protocols. Every business decision is made to improve or expand on the level of patient care we offer and/or to make our client's experience a memorable one.
