Advanced Heart Care for Dogs and Cats
What Is Veterinary Cardiology?
Veterinary cardiology focuses on conditions affecting the heart and circulatory system. These may include congenital heart defects, acquired heart disease, rhythm abnormalities, and heart-related complications secondary to other illnesses.
Cardiology services may be recommended when pets show signs such as:
- Coughing or labored breathing
- Exercise intolerance
- Weakness or collapse
- Heart murmurs
- Fluid accumulation
- Abnormal heart rhythms
Diagnostic Evaluation and Monitoring
Cardiac evaluation often involves specialized diagnostic tools to assess heart structure and function. Depending on your pet’s condition, diagnostics may include:
Cardiac ultrasound (echocardiogram)
Electrocardiography (ECG)
Blood pressure monitoring
Chest imaging
Ongoing monitoring for disease progression
Our team explains findings clearly and outlines appropriate next steps.
Managing Heart Disease in Pets
While many cardiac conditions are chronic, early diagnosis and proper management can significantly improve comfort and quality of life. Treatment plans may involve:
- Medication management
- Lifestyle and activity recommendations
- Nutritional guidance
- Ongoing monitoring and follow-up care
Care plans are individualized based on your pet’s diagnosis, age, and overall health.
