Today was rough day at Hicks Animal Hospital. The recent storms took out our computer system and phones, not to mention the equipment that was lost. All due to power surges. Needless to say the front desk girls, techs, kennel staff and Dr. Hicks did their best to keep things moving along. A big shout out to Todays Computer and Sparklight for getting us back up running and of course, to our valued customers that remained calm while we trudged along today, getting you checked in and checked out. We apologize to anyone that was trying to call as they could not get through.

Hicks Animal Hospital would like to thank all of you for trusting us with your pets care. We understand that clients like the option of purchasing medications, food, and supplements from online 3rd party pharmacies and we encourage clients to find the best price available to them. In order to better protect our clients privacy and our business integrity, we have chosen to end our relationship with with chewy.com and therefore will no longer approve prescriptions though them.
We recommend to our clients that they use our inhouse online store at hicksanimal.vetsfirstchoice.com . When you use our in house online pharmacy/store, all information is automatically entered into your pets medical chart, which keeps Dr. Hicks informed of important medical information on your pet from products not purchased here in the clinic. As a bonus, when using our online pharmacy/store, we waive the $7.50 3rd party fee that is charged with each prescription when ever you to purchase items online from other companies.
All clients still have the option to use other 3rd party sites that they choose (fees will apply). We apologize for any hardships this may cause and are more than happy to assist you in anyway we can.
Thank you for your understanding
Dr. Hicks
