Hickory Kennels

Hickory Kennels is a boarding kennel in Forest Hill, established in 1983 after boarding runs were added to the original hospital building on the property. The kennel offers overnight boarding for dogs, doggie daycare, and boarding for exotic and pocket pets, with a separate cat room featuring spacious kitty condos. Pets get comfortable bedding, high-quality food, and several one-on-one walks each day.

The facility has 100 indoor and outdoor runs and a large grass-fenced yard. Boarding reservations are made by phone, and a complimentary bath is included with a stay of 10 nights or longer. Visitors can drop in for a tour during business hours. The kennel sits on East Jarrettsville Road alongside the Hickory Veterinary Hospital and a pet supply store.
