HEART CARE

Veterinary Cardiology in Dubai

Heart problems in pets often show up quietly at first: a persistent cough, a bit less energy on walks. Caught early, most conditions can be managed well for years. Left unchecked, they tend to progress fast.

WHAT TO WATCH

Heart disease doesn't always look like an emergency

Heart disease is more common than most owners expect, affecting roughly 1 in 10 dogs and up to 15% of cats over their lifetime, and it often progresses in stages rather than announcing itself all at once.

Stage one

Stage one

No visible signs yet

Sometimes picked up as a murmur during a routine exam, before anything looks wrong at home.

Stage two

Stage two

Early signs

A bit less energy on walks, occasional coughing, especially at night.

Stage three

Stage three

More advanced signs

Laboured breathing, a swollen abdomen, fainting or collapse, pale or bluish gums - these warrant a same-day visit, not a wait-and-see approach.

If you've noticed any of the advanced signs, it's worth having a closer look. These can point to something urgent than something to watch.

HOW WE HELP

What services do we provide in pet cardiology care?

01

Cardiac exams

Checks heart rhythm, rate, and function through hands-on exam.

02

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Painless test to determine abnormal rhythms on pet's heart activity.

03

Echocardiography

Ultrasound for real-time images of the heart structure and motion.

04

Chest X-rays

Detailed images to check for heart enlargement or fluid buildup.

05

Blood pressure monitoring

Stress-free testing to track and manage blood pressure levels.

06

Cardiac markers blood test

Enzyme and protein screening for heart disease or ongoing damage.

07

Emergency stabilisation

Rapid care to support distressed pets in cardiac distress

08

Condition management

Long-term plans to manage chronic heart disease and its symptoms.

A CLOSER LOOK

What our echo scans show

An echocardiogram is how we actually see the heart working, not just hear it. Our Esaote MyLab X7 ultrasound system shows your pet's heart chambers, valves, and blood flow in real time, so a diagnosis is based on what we can see, not just what we can hear through a stethoscope.

Automatic ejection fraction measurement

Heart strain imaging

High-sensitivity blood flow detection

كل ما تحتاج إلى معرفته

هل لديك أسئلة؟ نحن هنا لمساعدتك

How can a diet plan help my pet's heart?

A well-planned diet helps manage weight and reduces added strain on the heart. We'll build one around your pet's specific condition.

What lifestyle changes support heart health beyond diet?

Regular, appropriate exercise and a calm, low-stress home environment both help. We'll advise on what's realistic for your pet's specific condition, since too much activity can be just as unhelpful as too little.

Can heart disease in pets be cured, or only managed?

It depends on the condition. Some, like certain congenital defects, can be corrected. Most others are managed long-term rather than cured, but well-managed pets often live full, comfortable lives for years.

How is a heart condition actually diagnosed, beyond listening to the heart?

A stethoscope catches a lot, but not everything. An ECG checks the heart's electrical rhythm, an echocardiogram shows its structure and how well it's actually pumping, and X-rays reveal size and any fluid buildup. We use whichever combination fits what we're checking for.

Will my pet need medication for life?

Often, yes, for chronic conditions. We'll always explain exactly what a medication does and reassess the plan at follow-ups rather than leaving it unchanged indefinitely.
