Cardiology
At Vaquero Animal Hospital in Waco, Texas, we recognize that your pet's heart health is fundamental to their longevity and vitality. Our cardiology services are designed to detect, diagnose, and manage heart-related conditions, ranging from congenital defects to age-related valvular disease. Using advanced diagnostics such as echocardiography and electrocardiography, our experienced veterinary team provides the specialized care necessary to manage your pet’s cardiac health and support them in living a long, active, and fulfilling life.
Why Is Cardiology Important?
Heart disease in pets can often go undetected until symptoms become serious, which is why early detection is so critical. Regular cardiac check-ups allow us to monitor for murmurs, irregular heartbeats, or changes in heart function before they progress to heart failure. By identifying and managing cardiac conditions early, we can significantly improve your pet's prognosis and quality of life. Our proactive approach ensures that your pet receives the monitoring and support they need to maintain optimal heart health at every age.
What to Expect During Cardiology
When you bring your pet in for a cardiac evaluation, our team will begin with a physical exam to assess their heart rate, rhythm, and breathing. If any concerns are identified, we use advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to get a clearer picture of your pet's cardiac function. This may include an echocardiogram, which provides a live ultrasound view of the heart, or an EKG to analyze their electrical rhythm. We then explain our findings clearly, allowing us to build a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan for your pet.

Managing heart disease requires consistent monitoring and specialized care. Whether your pet requires daily medication, dietary modifications, or ongoing re-evaluations, our team is here to walk alongside you.
