Urgent Care for Dogs and Cats in Charlotte, NC
An unexpected injury or sudden illness rarely happens at a convenient time. That's why TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Paw Creek builds urgent care into our regular business hours, giving pet owners a place to turn when something isn't right and a routine appointment just won't cut it.
Our veterinary team is trained to quickly assess a wide range of concerns, from minor mishaps to more worrisome symptoms, and to get treatment started without delay. If your pet seems unwell, injured, or simply not themselves, we're ready to help figure out why.
We keep space open for walk-ins and try to accommodate same-day urgent visits whenever a pet needs to be seen. Pet owners across Charlotte, NC and the surrounding neighborhoods count on us for dependable care when timing matters. Calling 704-827-7422 ahead of your visit lets our staff get ready before you arrive.
When Should You Seek Urgent Care?
If your pet is acting differently than usual, it's generally worth a trip in rather than waiting to see if things improve on their own. Some of the more frequent reasons pet parents bring their animals to TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Paw Creek on an urgent basis include:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Straining to go to the bathroom, or blood in the urine
- Pain while using the litter box
- Suspected ingestion of a toxic substance
- Sudden limping or trouble bearing weight
- Ear or skin infections
- Symptoms of an allergic reaction
- Skipping meals or refusing water
- Signs of overheating
- A new lump, bump, or growth
- Sudden eye redness, squinting, or discharge
- Wounds, cuts, or other visible injuries
If you're on the fence about whether a visit is needed, call 704-827-7422 and our staff will walk you through it.

Emergency Care and Referrals
Many of the urgent cases we see can be treated fully at TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Paw Creek. That said, some pets need a level of monitoring or equipment beyond what a general veterinary hospital can offer — for example, significant trauma, breathing problems that require oxygen support, or a condition requiring overnight critical care.
When that's the case, our team will do what we can to stabilize your pet and then connect you with a facility set up to handle that next level of treatment.
Not sure if your pet's situation calls for urgent care or a true emergency? Call us first — we're glad to help you figure out where to go.
Walk-Ins and Same-Day Appointments
Pets get sick and get hurt without warning, which is why TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Paw Creek leaves room in the day for walk-ins and works to fit urgent, same-day visits into the schedule.
There's no need to book ahead of time, though a quick call to 704-827-7422 gives our team a chance to prepare for your pet and can help cut down on wait time once you arrive.
