Pet Echocardiography Services
for Spring, The Woodlands, Tomball, TX & the Surrounding Areas 

Just like humans, one of the most important parts of your pet is their heart. Proper care is critical to keeping your pet’s heart beating strong and healthy. If you notice that your four-legged friend is ill and experiencing debilitating symptoms, the team at A Couple of Vets can perform a pet echocardiogram to find the root of the problem. Any type of heart condition can drastically impact your pet’s day-to-day life, making a pet echocardiogram important for early detection. 

What Does a Pet Echocardiogram Do? 

At our veterinary clinic, our team can perform an echocardiogram to examine the structure of your pet’s heart. This can help us see a range of factors that could be impacting your furry friend’s health including:

• The size of the heart.
• The thickness of walls within the heart.
• The shape of the heart.
• How effectively the heart is pumping.

What Can a Pet Echocardiogram Detect?

An echocardiogram can identify a range of heart problems including:

• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Congestive heart failure
• Heart murmur
• Congenital (present from birth) heart defects that may require treatment or special care.
• Abnormalities or damage in the valves, pericardium (the sac surrounding the heart), or other areas of the heart.
• Abnormal blood flow and potential blood clots.

When combined with other diagnostic testing, a pet echocardiogram can be vital in making a proper diagnosis and developing a comprehensive treatment plan for your dog or cat.
