We offer comprehensive cardiac evaluations for dogs and cats, combining detailed physical examinations with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. These include electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiography, and blood pressure measurement. For patients requiring more advanced rhythm analysis, we also provide 24-hour Holter monitoring.
Every patient receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific diagnosis and condition. We work closely with your primary care veterinarian to ensure seamless coordination and continuity of care, prioritizing both your pet’s health and your peace of mind.
Cardiac Screening for High-Risk Breeds
Cardiac disease can be common—and often silent—in certain breeds. If you share your life with a Dobermann, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Maine Coon, Ragdoll, or another breed predisposed to heart disease, we strongly recommend early cardiac screening. Detecting heart issues before symptoms arise can greatly improve your pet’s quality of life and increase their life expectancy.
Breeder Services and OFA Certification
For breeders of high-risk breeds, we offer specialized cardiac screenings and OFA certifications at discounted rates. Whether you’re evaluating breeding candidates, checking the health of a litter, or assessing littermates of a newborn with a detected murmur, our team is here to help. Additional benefits are available to breeders affiliated with the Veterinary Heart Institute (VHI), supporting your commitment to healthy, responsible breeding.
