Approximately one in every 10 cats and dogs will acquire a form of cardiac disease over their lives. Therefore, we strongly encourage that you bring your pet in for a veterinary cardiology checkup every 6-12 months.
Regular visits allow us to evaluate their heart health and detect any potential problems as early as possible. This is critical for early detection and efficient management and treatment of cardiac disorders.
Heart related issues can present with:
- Difficulty with exercise
- Increased breathing rate
- Increased breathing effort
- Excessive panting
- Episodes of collapsing
- Coughing

Cardiology Examinations
Our routine check-ups include a thorough examination of your pet’s heart, during which we listen for abnormal sounds and analyse their overall cardiovascular health. Early identification of cardiac disease in your pet can dramatically improve their prognosis and quality of life.
Further Diagnostics
We offer routine echocardiography (heart scan), which can detect the most common form of heart disease (Myxomatous mitral valve disease), giving us the information we need to start them on medication that can greatly extend your pets life. If a more extensive examination is required, we can arrange for a specialist to visit and do an echocardiography. This modern diagnostic technology provides us with a thorough image of your pet’s heart, allowing us to detect any structural or functional issues.
Preventitive Cardiac Care
Finally, by combining frequent check-ups with expert diagnostic services, we ensure that your pet receives complete and proactive cardiac care. As a result, we can help you to maintain your pet’s heart health and ensure they live a long, happy life.
