How do I know if my pet should be seen?

Trust your sense that something has changed. You know your pet's normal better than anyone. Book a sick visit if you notice any of these for more than a day:

• Eating less, or skipping meals

• Drinking or peeing much more than usual

• Low energy, hiding or sleeping more

• A new limp or stiffness after rest

• Scratching, licking paws or a smell from the skin or ears

• Coughing, sneezing or runny eyes

• A lump you haven't felt before

• Soft stool or a single vomit with no other signs

If you can't tell how worried to be, call. The team can help you decide if your pet needs today, tomorrow or a watch-and-wait plan.

What happens when you bring a sick pet to Petfolk Grant Park?

First, the team asks what you've seen and when it started. A photo or short video of the cough, limp or odd behavior helps a lot. Then the vet examines your pet and tells you what they think is going on and what could cause it.

If a test would give a clearer answer, the vet explains what it is and why. Petfolk has an in-house lab for many tests and digital x-rays at the clinic, so some answers come back during the visit. You choose what to do. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

Gentle, Fear Free handling is part of every exam. A sick pet already feels bad, so the team keeps things calm and slow.

What does a sick visit cost at Petfolk Grant Park?

A sick or urgent exam at Petfolk Grant Park starts at $135. Tests and medicine are added only if you agree to them. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Apple Pay, and CareCredit financing. Petfolk works with most major pet insurance plans: you pay at the visit and get full records to send to your insurer.

Common reasons for a sick visit here

Atlanta's spring pollen season is one of the heaviest in the country, so many dogs come in licking their feet or chewing their sides in spring. Humid summers keep skin and ear problems going long after that. Ticks and fleas stay active much of the year in Georgia, and dogs who walk the long grass in Grant Park pick them up. Ear problems are steady all year: across Petfolk from October 2025 to September 2026, they made up 9 to 10% of sick visits in every month.

Getting ready for the visit

Bring a list of any medicine, the food your pet eats, and the date the problem started. If your pet vomited or had diarrhea, a photo helps more than you'd think. Keep cats in a carrier and dogs on a short leash in The Beacon's shared walkways.

Signs that can't wait for a sick visit

Some problems need a 24-hour emergency hospital, not a clinic visit. Go right away if your pet has trouble breathing, collapses, has a seizure, has a swollen belly and is trying to vomit, or keeps vomiting and can't keep water down. MedVet Atlanta on Century Circle NE is a 24-hour hospital that says no appointment is needed for emergencies.
