Welcome to CARE
Supporting Charlotte’s pets with board-certified specialists and emergency care.
In a way, pets are like people. Sometimes they require special, expert care – and that can happen suddenly. That’s why CARE is here. We’ve assembled the board–certified specialties your pet needs and deserves, in a setting that’s medically advanced and always compassionate. We also have 24-hour emergency services, all under one roof, for your peace of mind.
We drive ourselves to exceed your expectations while treating every pet as if he or she was our own. For referrals, we work closely with your veterinarian and, as a team, diagnose the condition and plan a course of treatment with careful consideration for quality of life.
Because our focus is on pets’ more advanced medical needs, we do not offer these services: spay and neuter services, teeth cleaning, vaccinations and immunizations and boarding. These are areas of expertise for primary veterinarians.
CARE is the pet equivalent of a human medical center.

Finally, a Beacon of Hope for Allergic Cat People
Scientists in Switzerland announced they are working on a vaccine targeting the protein responsible for cat allergies.Would so love this. I am allergic to cats...but love them.
Interesting, since people can be allergic to some cats, but not to others. Makes me wonder if this will actually work. I suspect it may only work for some lucky people. Or perhaps... maybe some cats secrete more of the glycoprotein than others... things to ponder 🤔
