Heart disease is a common problem in domestic pets, and can be very serious. More than 10 percent of dogs will develop heart problems over their lifetimes, and the risk is higher in older animals. In order to protect your pet from heart disease, it’s important to know the symptoms and how to get treatment.
Prevention
If caught and treated early on, heart problems can be managed and the risk to your pet can be reduced. Professional veterinarians can sometimes detect heart disease with regular checkups before symptoms appear. Tulsa Veterinary Hospital employs knowledgeable vets and vet techs who are trained to catch serious health problems before they can threaten your pet. If symptoms of heart disease manifest, we employ high-tech and low-stress diagnostic procedures to uncover the problem.
Heartworm is a serious condition that can be life-threatening, but with prevention it can be avoided. Tulsa Vererinary Hospital offers a range of preventative treatments, from regular pills to more infrequent shots.
