St. Pete has a new option for fast, friendly, and trustworthy after-hours pet care. CentralPet Express Care just opened at 19 Dr. MLK Jr. St. South in the EDGE District, offering night and weekend appointments and walk-ins at more affordable prices.
The locally owned and operated veterinary clinic is already receiving stellar reviews for its expert pet care, and will celebrate its official ribbon cutting on Thursday, January 15, from 1:30-3 pm. Grand opening festivities include giveaways, raffles, refreshments, and a chance to meet the CentralPet team and see their new clinic. Plus, a professional photographer will be on hand to take free portraits of your furry family members you can keep forever!



As for the clinic itself, CentralPet is designed to create an option for veterinary care that prioritizes convenience without compromising quality. In addition to the central location being perfect for those in St. Pete’s most densely populated areas, even the specs of the clinic itself are aimed at simplifying and streamlining the process for pets and their owners, while providing the stellar level of care that people want for their furry loved ones.
In short, CentralPet makes it convenient and affordable for you to get in and out quickly and without fuss, while ensuring all animals that walk through the door are given the medical care and treatment they deserve. The approach makes them the go-to for walk-in and same-day care for pets with non‑life‑threatening needs.
There are two key factors that allow CentralPet to provide that level of service. First, walk-in care is not only allowed, but encouraged. From limping to sudden sickness, they’re ready immediately for whatever arises. Second, CentralPet is open nights, weekends, and holidays, unlike most veterinary clinics. Open until 10 pm Thursday-Sunday, the veterinary team is ready to take care of whatever pops up.
The hours also make it convenient for pet owners and busy professionals to stop by for non-emergency care, such as checkups, diagnostic scans, surgery, and routine wellness care. You don’t have to worry about taking time from your workday. Just make an appointment at an hour that works for you.
The arrangement makes it easier to handle the unfortunate reality that life doesn’t follow a schedule. CentralPet believes expert medical care should be available when your pet needs it, not just during typical office hours.

What makes CentralPet special is that the express care comes with the compassionate, gentle and expert touch we all want for our pets. It’s a community‑integrated practice that believes in accessible, reliable veterinary care.
As their team will tell you, from coughs and ear infections to minor injuries, skin allergies, and upset stomachs, CentralPet is there for the problems that just can’t wait. Learn more at centralpetec.com, and be sure to stop by their Ribbon Cutting Party on Thursday, January 15, to meet the team.
CentralPet Express Care is open Thursday-Friday from 2-10 pm, Saturday-Sunday 10 am – 10 pm, and by appointment Monday-Wednesday.
