What cardiovascular conditions can affect my pet?

Pets can be affected by various cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, valve problems, and high blood pressure. These conditions can significantly impact a pet's quality of life and require specialized medical attention.

What does a comprehensive cardiac examination involve?

Our comprehensive cardiac examination is a thorough consultation that includes a complete cardiac physical exam and non-invasive diagnostic tests to provide a detailed assessment of your pet's heart health.

What’s the difference between congenital heart diseases and acquired heart diseases?

Congenital heart diseases are cardiac abnormalities that your pet was born with while acquired heart diseases are absent at birth but may develop as your pet grows older.
