Pet Urgent Care in Grant Park, Atlanta, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Grant Park is a vet in Grant Park, Atlanta, that gives same-day urgent care to dogs and cats. If your pet is sick or hurt and it can't wait for a routine visit, walk in or book online. The clinic is open weekends.

Call (470) 256-0274 before you come so the team can tell you how soon they can see your pet.

Does my pet need a 24-hour emergency hospital instead?

Go straight to a 24-hour emergency hospital if your pet can't breathe well, has collapsed, is having a seizure, has a swollen, tight belly and is trying to vomit, was hit by a car, or is bleeding hard. Petfolk Grant Park is a primary and urgent care clinic, not an emergency hospital. One 24-hour hospital that serves the area is MedVet Atlanta at 1700 Century Circle NE. It says no appointment is needed for emergency care, but calling on the way helps the team get ready.

Go there too if your pet gets worse after you leave our clinic, or once our clinic has closed for the day. Don't wait for a morning visit if your pet keeps vomiting, can't stand or stops responding.

What can the Grant Park team treat today?

Most problems that need care today but are not life-threatening. Pet parents often come in for:

• Vomiting or diarrhea that started in the last day or two

• A limp, a cut paw pad or a torn nail

• Small bite wounds and scrapes

• Head shaking, ear pain or a smell from the ears

• A sudden rash, hives or a hot spot

• A red, squinting or weepy eye

• Straining to pee (for male cats, read the warning below)

• Eating something odd, like a chicken bone from the sidewalk

What happens at a same-day visit?

1. The team checks your pet in and asks what changed and when.

2. The vet examines your pet and tells you what they think is going on.

3. If a test would help, such as blood work or an x-ray, the vet explains why and what it would show. You decide.

4. You get an estimate before any test or treatment.

5. You leave with medicine if needed, written next steps, and the signs that mean "call us back" or "go to a 24-hour hospital."

If the vet thinks your pet needs care Petfolk can't give, such as monitoring through the night, they will say so and help you get to an emergency hospital.

Fear Free handling is part of every visit. A scared or sore pet is handled slowly and gently, with breaks when needed.

How much does an urgent care visit cost?

A sick or urgent exam at Petfolk Grant Park starts at $135. Tests, medicine and treatment are priced on their own. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Apple Pay, plus CareCredit financing.

Male cats who strain to pee

A male cat who goes to the litter box again and again with little or no urine may have a blocked bladder. That can't wait. If Petfolk Grant Park can't see him right away, take him to a 24-hour emergency hospital.

Sudden problems we see in the neighborhood

Hot, humid Atlanta summers bring heavy panting and tired, weak dogs after walks. Long grass in Grant Park and nearby green spaces means ticks, and spring pollen brings sudden itching and hot spots. A dog who ate something on a walk is one of the most common same-day visits. If you're not sure your pet needs to be seen today, call and ask.
