We are pleased to offer comprehensive evaluations of cardiac diseases in dogs and cats. This includes ultrasounds (echocardiograms) of the heart by Dr. Julie Pearson.

Dogs and cats can suffer from a variety of problems related to their heart and lungs, many of which are similar to their human companions. This encompasses such ailments as canine and feline congestive heart failure, hypertension, dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and valvular disorders.  With proper medical treatment and prescription management, many pets suffering from these afflictions can often continue to live full and happy lives.
