What we Offer

NOTE: Currently, we are only accepting cardiology patients by referral or request from family veterinarians. Our mobile veterinary cardiologist will be called in to diagnose and assess pets for these cases only. We will continue to provide cardiac surgery for our patients on a case-by-case basis.

If we determine that the patient’s cardiac condition requires further diagnostics or treatment, we will refer them to the cardiology team at our sister hospital, Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital (BBVSH) in Surrey, BC, Canada (~45 mins. north.) BBVSH Surrey’s cardiology team are on-site, and specialize in diagnosing, evaluating, and treating complex cardiac conditions—like heart murmurs, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, congenital heart defects, and more.

Pet owners may also contact the cardiology team Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital, Surrey directly, at info@bbvsh.com or (604) 514-8383

Veterinary Cardiology Services:

By referral only:

Echocardiograms:
Special equipment is used to take detailed pictures of your pet’s heart, helping to identify any problems or abnormalities.
Electrocardiography:
Small sensors are placed on your pet’s body that measures the electrical activity of your their heart. This helps to detect any irregularities in their heart rhythm.
Radiograph Analysis:
Our board-certified cardiologist carefully examines X-ray images of your pet’s chest to evaluate the size, shape, and condition of their heart.
24-48 hour Holter Monitoring and Analysis:
Your pet wears a portable device that continuously records their heart activity for one to two days. This helps to identify any irregularities in their heart rhythm that may not be captured during a regular examination.

Veterinary Cardiology Treatments:

Medical Management of Cardiac Disease (Heart Disease):
Our board-certified veterinary cardiologist develops personalized treatment plans that may include medication, dietary changes, and lifestyle recommendations to manage your pet’s heart condition and improve their overall heart health.
Thoracocentesis:
In some cases, our team may need to remove excess fluid from around your pet’s lungs to improve their breathing and relieve discomfort.
Medication Recommendations:
Our board-certified veterinary cardiologist prescribes medications specifically tailored to your pet’s heart condition to help control symptoms, manage their condition, and improve their heart health.
