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.

Congratulations!! So deserving since the day your doors opened. See you all Tuesday for an ultrasound, I know Gov will be in good hands.
Agree! I love that you take care of your employees, and it shows. A few weeks ago, I called you in tears after the way I was treated at another animal emergency clinic. You all have shown so much love and compassion to both me and my beloved dog. She is now a cancer survivor, having survived 2 simultaneous cancers. 3 more chemo treatments to go! My 11yr old golden retriever is acting like a puppy again! Thank you for saving her life!!
Congratulations. So very glad I was referred to your clinic for my dog’s cancer treatment and care. Everyone has been exceptional!
SO WELL DESERVED!!! Kudos to everyone at CARE- y’all are the best and I am so glad to have you in the region taking care of all the fur babies!

I can certainly understand why. The staff and care our furry baby, Parker, has received at CARE has been A+. Congrats CARE.
Kudos to a great team!
Congratulations on your accomplishments. This is truly GREAT!!
What an honor! And a well-deserved one from everything I have heard from m Vet and from my friends who have been there. Although I haven't needed your services, you would definitely be my emergency clinic of choice if I do.
Congratulations this is well deserved!
Well deserved!
Yay Care! You have worked hard for this! Thanks for everything you do!
Well deserved <3
I can't think of a better honor. The CARE staff is outstanding.
So well deserved. I still have the book you sent me after my Sampson passed away. I have told everyone that for emergency or specialist your services can't be beat!
Congratulations!!
The BEST!
