Heart Disease In Pets Can Remain Hidden Until Advanced Stages:
Both dogs and cats hide outward signs of heart disease and typically do not appear sick until they are in a crisis situation. Emergency visits with pets can be very expensive and traumatic for both the patient and family, so the “wait and see” approach is not recommended for dogs or cats with heart disease. Patients with congestive heart failure live 75% longer when co-managed by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist and primary care veterinarian. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist, before heart disease becomes symptomatic or life threatening, are key to your pet living a longer, healthier life with you and your family.
