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.

Vaccinations and annual boosters are vital in keeping dogs healthy. One of the diseases that immunizations prevent is Canine Parvovirus.
Because Parvovirus usually results in death without aggressive treatment within 24 hours of being contracted, Emergency Vet Dr. Huang chose to write this article to educate dog owners about signs, symptoms, treatment options, and most importantly preventative measures, as a way to protect our beloved pets.

Remember Dewey from our feature on NBC news last night? He has a history of outsmarting e-collars (the plastic cones) in the past. His family had to get pretty inventive for his post operative e-collar needs. Bad news: Dewey has to wear an ecollar. Good news: He’s ready for the pool at a moments notice. This is a good look for you, Dewey!
