Cardiology
Expert cardiac care for your pet — from early screening to advanced heart disease management.
Overview
About Cardiology
Heart disease affects approximately 10% of all dogs and is one of the leading causes of death in senior pets. Early detection through screening and regular monitoring can significantly extend your pet's life and quality of life.
We offer comprehensive cardiac services including auscultation, ECG, blood pressure monitoring, and chest radiographs. For advanced imaging, a board-certified veterinary cardiologist performs echocardiograms at our facility monthly.
