An echocardiogram is a specialized ultrasound of the heart that allows us to evaluate its structure and function in real time. This non-invasive test provides detailed information about the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow, helping us diagnose and monitor heart disease with accuracy and care.

Echocardiograms are commonly recommended for pets with heart murmurs, irregular heart rhythms, signs of heart disease, or certain breed-related risks. They may also be used to monitor known cardiac conditions or to assess heart health before anesthesia or advanced treatments.

The procedure is painless and typically does not require sedation. Using ultrasound technology, our veterinary team can assess how well the heart is pumping, detect abnormalities early, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs.

Early detection and ongoing monitoring of heart conditions can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life—and an echocardiogram is one of the most valuable tools we have to protect your pet’s heart health
