Emergency and urgent care vets in North Carolina

Practices in North Carolina that say they take emergency or urgent cases include Animal Emergency Hospital & Urgent Care in Raleigh, BluePearl Pet Hospital Raleigh in Raleigh, Complete Pet Care Animal Hospital in Raleigh, Middle Creek Veterinary Hospital and Exotic Animal Clinic in Raleigh and Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital and Emergency at South Saunders in Raleigh, and 85 more listed below by city. 14 of them say they are open 24 hours.

90 practices across 57 cities, out of the 920 we list in North Carolina. Each one says so on its own website, which is where we read it.

These practices describe urgent or emergency work on their own websites. That is not the same as being open right now, and it is not the same as a dedicated emergency hospital: hours change, rotas change, and a practice that takes urgent cases on a weekday may not on a Sunday. Phone before you drive. If an animal is in trouble this minute, call the nearest emergency veterinary hospital rather than working down a list.

List compiled November 2, 2026 from each practice's own website.
