Expert Cardiac Care for Companion Animals
Heart disease affects many dogs and cats, often silently progressing before symptoms appear. Our cardiology services include murmur evaluation, echocardiography, electrocardiograms, blood pressure measurement, and tailored medication management for cardiovascular conditions.
Early identification of cardiac disease dramatically improves prognosis and longevity for affected patients. We work closely with veterinary cardiologists when advanced intervention is needed, providing your pet with seamless access to specialized expertise and ongoing support.
- Heart murmur grading and characterization identifies the underlying valvular or congenital problem.
- ECG analysis detects rhythm disturbances, electrical conduction defects, and arrhythmia patterns accurately.
- Blood pressure monitoring catches hypertension before it damages kidneys, eyes, or brain.
- Customized medication protocols slow disease progression and preserve quality of life longer.
