Hickory Pet Inn

Dog returned traumatized, fearful, and showing signs of possible mistreatment (whimpering, afraid to be touched, pain when touched)

“My dog was there a couple of days ago... he is afraid of everyone and won't even bark... he runs and whimpers when he is touched and he welps in pain whenever he is touched. I am afraid that he was mistreated by someone at Hickory.”

Grooming trauma - dog had bloody brush burns and nearly had ear hair cut off

“He was traumatized for a week. He had numerous bare spots with bloody brush burns where they cut to short with the clippers. They almost cut one of his long ears of hair off!!”

Pricing concerns - perceived as expensive or profit-focused(3 mentions)

“I truly question how much the owners are in it for the animals versus the money. Seems like they're trying to run a mom and pop style vet hospital with the prices of the bigger chain emergency hospitals.”

Grooming quality issues(2 mentions)

“Worst groomer EVER!”
