The Animal Cardiology Center

We conduct in-house bloodwork, including complete blood counts (CBCs) and chemistry panels, to evaluate your pet’s overall health and identify underlying issues that may impact cardiac function. These tests provide critical insights for diagnosing conditions like anemia, electrolyte imbalances, or organ dysfunction.

We perform digital X-rays to evaluate your pet’s thoracic cavity, including the heart, lungs, and surrounding structures. These radiographs help us assess heart size, detect fluid accumulation (e.g., congestive heart failure), and identify secondary conditions like pulmonary edema or pleural effusion.

Our clinic utilizes ultrasound imaging (echocardiography) as a cornerstone of cardiac diagnostics. This non-invasive, real-time imaging provides detailed views of your pet’s heart structure and function, enabling us to diagnose congenital defects, cardiomyopathies, valvular disease, and more with precision.

We offer blood pressure monitoring as part of our diagnostic protocol to assess cardiovascular health. Using non-invasive techniques, we measure your pet’s blood pressure to detect hypertension or hypotension, which can accompany heart disease or other systemic conditions. Early detection allows us to intervene and manage risks effectively.

We provide comprehensive EKG/ECG services to monitor your pet’s heart rhythm and detect arrhythmias or other cardiac abnormalities. Our board-certified cardiologists use advanced electrocardiography to diagnose conditions like atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and bradyarrhythmias, ensuring tailored treatment plans for optimal heart health.

For pets requiring intensive cardiac management, we provide hospitalization and 24-hour monitoring. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to closely observe patients with severe conditions (e.g., congestive heart failure or acute arrhythmias) and adjust treatments in real-time for optimal recovery.

We offer oxygen therapy to support pets experiencing respiratory distress due to advanced heart disease. Whether managing pulmonary edema or post-surgical recovery, our oxygen supplementation helps stabilize your pet’s condition while we implement long-term treatment plans.

Our clinic provides IV fluid therapy to address dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or shock in cardiac patients. This critical intervention supports kidney function, improves circulation, and helps manage conditions like congestive heart failure or toxin exposure.

We prioritize pain management as part of our comprehensive cardiac care, especially during diagnostic procedures (e.g., echocardiograms) or treatments. Our team uses anxiolytic medications and sedation protocols to ensure your pet remains comfortable while receiving the highest standard of care.

We conduct quality of life assessments to guide treatment decisions for pets with chronic or advanced heart disease. By evaluating pain levels, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being, we work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan—whether that’s continued therapy, palliative care, or compassionate support.
