Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Holly Springs is a vet in Holly Springs, NC, that offers same-day urgent care for dogs and cats.

Unsure where your pet belongs? Many problems can be handled by urgent care. Call the team and they will help you decide.

Call (919) 591-0887 or book online. Walk-ins are welcome.

When is it time for a 24-hour emergency hospital instead?

Go to a 24-hour emergency hospital right away if your pet can't breathe well, has collapsed, is having a seizure that won't stop, was hit by a car, is bleeding heavily, or has a swollen, tight belly and keeps trying to vomit. Petfolk Holly Springs is a primary and urgent care clinic for dogs and cats, not an emergency hospital. Call the hospital on your way so the team there is ready when you arrive.

What can Petfolk Holly Springs treat the same day?

Petfolk Holly Springs treats many sudden problems in a single visit. Common reasons pet parents walk in:

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

• Limping, a sore leg or a torn nail.

• Small cuts, scrapes and bite wounds from another dog.

• Itchy, red skin or a hot spot that appeared fast.

• Ear pain, head shaking or a bad smell from the ear.

• Red, squinting or runny eyes.

• Straining to pee or having accidents in the house.

• Coughing or sneezing that won't settle.

The clinic has an in-house lab, digital x-rays and basic ultrasound, so many answers come back while you wait.

How an urgent visit goes

1. Book online, call ahead or walk in. Calling first lets the team prepare for your pet.

2. A team member asks what happened and checks your pet's breathing, heart rate and temperature.

3. The vet examines your pet and explains what they think is going on.

4. You get an estimate before any test or treatment, and you choose what to do.

5. Your pet is treated, and you head home with medicine from the on-site pharmacy if it's needed, plus clear signs to watch for.

Bring any medicine your pet takes, and the packaging if your pet ate something it shouldn't have. A photo of vomit or stool can also help the vet.

Fear Free handling is the standard at every Petfolk clinic. A scared or hurting pet is handled slowly and gently, with time to settle before the exam starts.

Only place able to see my dog the same day. Very kind and informative. Super good with nervous dogs.

Warm, humid Holly Springs summers bring panting, drooling and low energy, and the clinic page lists these among the problems the team treats most. Walk early, carry water and rest in the shade.

Copperheads also live in Holly Springs neighborhoods, since they like thick ground cover and rodents. They cause about 90% of venomous snakebites in North Carolina, according to the state's wildlife agency as reported by WUNC. A snakebite needs care the same day, so call before you leave the yard.
