Ensuring Pet Heart Health through Collaboration and Expertise
About us
Veterinary Cardiac Care specializes in providing mobile cardiology services that work hand-in-hand with your primary care veterinarian and other veterinary specialists to ensure the best possible care for your pet. Our approach centers on collaboration, making your pet’s health a true team effort.
We partner directly with your regular veterinarian to create personalized treatment plans, ensuring that all follow-up care, medication refills, and any additional concerns are managed through your primary veterinarian. This ensures streamlined communication and consistent care for your pet. For ongoing care, we may recommend recheck appointments to monitor your pet’s progress which you will coordinate with your veterinarian.
If you have any questions or concerns, your referring veterinarian is always your point of contact. Together, we’ll provide the highest level of care for your pet’s heart health.
If you are a pet owner interested in our services, please contact your primary care veterinarian to confirm if they are working with us and to discuss how we can help with your pet’s heart health.
We look forward to supporting you and your veterinary team!
