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.

Obesity and the inflammatory effects of excess fat can bring a host of health problems. Along with diabetes and arthritis, extra heft puts pets at increased risk for liver and kidney diseases, high blood pressure, heart failure and even some cancers.

Sixty percent of cats tip the scales at unhealthy weights, slightly more than the 56 percent of dogs. It’s not good for them.6 hours ago
One of our core values at CARE is teamwork, and what better individuals to exemplify that but our wonderful Veterans on staff.

Diabetes is more common in older pets, but it can also occur in younger or pregnant pets. The disease is more manageable if it is detected early (so familiarize yourself with the signs) and managed with the help of your veterinarian. The good news is that with proper monitoring, treatment, and diet and exercise, diabetic pets can lead long and happy lives. #petdiabetes

With all the power outages as of late (and Daylight Savings coming to an end this weekend), people are thinking…can my dog see in the dark?
Have no fear. Dogs’ eyes contain a special membrane, called the tapetum lucidum, which allows them to see in the dark. #funfactfriday

Speckel was there today too--not in costume and not in the oncology fun. But, a good visit with Dr. Broadwater.
Necessity was the mother of invention for Mildred when she turned her “cone of wisdom” into a sleep mask. It was her way of saying “Could you turn those lights off please? I’m not ready to get up yet.” We’re happy to report that Mildred has returned home, to her own bed, and back to her desired sleep schedule. 😉

What better way to wrap up Tech Week, than to showcase our fantastic ER Technicians and Assistants!? While we are all wrapping up our work day, and at home in our beds, they are working tirelessly through the night to give the best medical care to every patient in their charge. These are certainly not all of our ER techs on staff, because that would just be too much awesome in one photo 😉. CARE would be lost without them. Happy National Technician Week!!!

Yes!!! Love the Oncology team so much especially 💕

Wonderful group of people!!
The techs are an intricate part of a wonderful staff and facility. 👍

Stephen is awesome!
Thanks again Betsy!
National Tech Week continues! Here are a few of our Techs and Assistants that make this place wonderful! Did you know that when CARE opened its doors in 2015, we started with about 14 Techs and Assistants? Today, we are up to a whopping 73! That’s 73 people providing never-ending love, compassion, attention to detail, and the best medical care and service to every patient that comes into their care. Help us let these ladies and gents know how special they are! We look forward to posting more of their wonderful faces throughout the week!

You guys are the best! Lane-Cress especially 😍
Thank you all! 💞 from me and Lily too
Y’all saved our Otis, last year at this exact time he had to have surgery to remove an object from his tummy! He is doing amazing thank you for the love & compassion you have for Gods Precious Creatures 🙏🐶🙏
Clearly Jean Grey LOVES her Techs & Assistants so much, she concocted a reason she needs to come in and see them tomorrow.
Our Lucy, aka “Goose” thanks you! You are truly angels and she has had a good week!😇
These vet techs, and doctors, and office staff, are the best! Back in 2015 when Romeo lost his tail to cancer, he developed bladder stones at the same time. He went to CARE for bladder stone surgery and received the best possible care. They even let me leave his special blanket with him for comfort and when it got dirty, one of his vet techs washed it and mailed it back to me. These people care for your pet like their own. Hooray for CARE! Romeo is still doing great and no more,bladder stones!
Romeo says “ thank you CARE “ fore taking such good CARE of me! “
73! I remember the days of 14 😂. How time flies!!! Love all you 72!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
We cannot thank you all enough for taking such wonderful care of our Tyson! You are all AMAZING!💚🐶
Thanks for all you do!!!
My kitty is seeing Dr. Campbell right now. This place is awesome..❤
