Carolina Animal Specialty & Emergency

Your partner for patient care. We help veterinarians by providing specialized care to pets.

Whether you need help managing pet emergencies when a neighborhood veterinarian is closed, or you’re looking for advanced diagnostics, evaluations, and care, CASE offers state-of-the-art veterinary care in an environment rooted in comfort & compassion. We also help pets facing emergencies when their go-to veterinarian isn’t available. If a veterinarian needs a specialist’s help with a patient case

, we have the resources to help support the patient’s case. We’re proud to be trusted by veterinarians and pet owners throughout North Carolina, and we take that trust seriously. It’s a big part of why we’re open 24/7 for emergency walk-ins and immediate referrals. When it comes to caring for pets, we recognize that time is of the essence. No matter the time of day, our hospital always has an on-site critical care veterinarian, backed by a full support team, to provide exceptional support for pets in need of care.
