CARE | Charlotte Animal Referral & Emergency

Dr. Hensarling and Becky went above and beyond in providing my furry family member with compassion, care, and responsiveness. They are absolutely the best! My first time at an emergency veterinary facility, I was pleasantly impressed by the organization and priorities of this place. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, and it’s evident that your pet’s well-being is everyone’s top concern.

Saved our cat's life. Midnight stopped eating for almost a week and no vet could determine the cause. We were referred to CARE and they admitted her immediately. They quickly diagnosed her with pancreatitis and started treatment. After she spent one night there, we were able to see her the next day and she was eating again. It was a miracle. The staff here are amazing and we loved that they sent us updates about how she was doing. It's been almost a half year and we're happy to say Midnight is still doing well. She's back to her normal weight. We cannot thank the staff and doctors at CARE enough!

We have used CARE before both for emergency, and for the specialty care. Our experiences have always been great. Good communication, full explanations, and the staff and veterinarians are all very friendly and professional. I highly recommend CARE for both emergency services or specialty care. This is the second time we’ve used Dr. Dvorak for gallbladder removal surgery for one of our dogs. Their name is perfect—they treat with a lot of care.

It is impossible to convey the anguish felt over devastating news regarding a much loved family member that happens to be canine. It is also hard to write words that convey the gratitude we have for Dr Jonathan Daniel and the staff at CARE. We were impressed by the thoroughness of Dr Daniel’s neurological evaluation. His impression of why Petey experienced his increasingly severe decline was spot on and confirmed by MRI findings. From the front desk to the wonderful vet assistants we couldn’t have asked for more. We left with medication and information to help us care for Petey and prepare for the end. I am so thankful that we were able to be seen in a timely manner at CARE rather than waiting for an appointment at a specialty clinic closer to home- a three hour drive was validated by the

The entire CARE team was incredible. Unfortunately, we had to bring our dog in for an emergency situation and ended up having to put him to sleep during the same visit. We are absolutely devastated but the entire team treated us with dignity and respect the entire time, from the moment we brought him, Josh and Veronica were quick to get him assistants and seen right away. Acacia was incredible, got down to his level and asked us what was going on. Dr. Meddaugh delivered the news and heard us, listened and let us deal with the shock of learning about the news. Even today when I called to schedule time to pick up his remains, Lindsey was so kind and helpful. Everyone here really take the time to hear you and understands the grief you're feeling. I would high recommend CARE!
