6 pet care center locations

Can a vet see my pet today in Charlotte?

Yes. Every Petfolk in the Charlotte area, on both sides of the state line, is open on weekends, welcomes walk-ins and offers same-day visits. A sick or urgent exam starts at $135.

Petfolk has six clinics here: four in North Carolina (Ballantyne, SouthPark, Huntersville and Concord) and two in South Carolina (Fort Mill and Indian Land). It is primary and daytime urgent care for dogs and cats. Weekday hours vary by clinic, so see today's times when you book online, in the app, or by call or text at (833) 738-3655.

The vet gives you an estimate before treating. Your final bill can differ.

What can urgent care treat?

If it's not life-threatening, a Petfolk Charlotte-area clinic can usually treat it the same day. Every clinic has digital x-rays, basic ultrasound, an in-house lab for many tests and its own pharmacy, so most pets go home with medicine in hand. Common visits:

  • Vomiting, diarrhea or a skipped meal or two

  • Ear infections

  • Eye problems, from redness to a scratch

  • Itchy, flaky or infected skin

  • Limping or a sore paw

  • Minor cuts

  • Kennel-cough-type coughing

  • A swallowed sock, toy or bone in a pet that's still acting normal

See the full list on our urgent care page.

When should I go to the ER instead?

Go to a 24-hour ER, not urgent care, for breathing trouble, collapse, a seizure lasting more than a few minutes, or any serious injury. Petfolk is not an ER and does not keep pets overnight. Other ER signs:

  • Bleeding that keeps going under pressure

  • A bloated belly with unproductive retching

  • A male cat straining to pee with nothing coming out

  • Any poison you know about, such as antifreeze, rat bait or xylitol
