Overview

Personalized Pet Care, Rooted in Hickory. Springs Road Animal Hospital has been a fixture on this corner of Hickory since 1976, and our team is proud to carry that legacy forward with a fresh approach to compassionate, modern veterinary medicine. We partner with dog and cat families across Catawba County to build personalized care plans that reflect your pet's lifestyle, your priorities, and the kind of long, healthy life you want for them. Whether you're here for a routine wellness visit, a same-day urgent care appointment, or something in between, you'll find a team that treats your pet like family — because to us, that's exactly what they are

This corner of Hickory has been home to a veterinary practice since 1976, and we’re proud to be its current chapter. In September 2020, Dr. Brittany Holler Barkley and her husband purchased Springs Road Animal Hospital, refreshed the facility, and updated its medicine and protocols — all while preserving the neighborhood-clinic feel that’s defined this place for nearly five decades

Mission — Springs Road Animal Hospital is a general practice veterinary clinic that delivers compassionate veterinary care to dogs and cats in Hickory, North Carolina. We make recommendations through personalized health care plans to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of our patients and we are committed to treating all of our clients and patients with respect
