🐾🐶 It's National Puppy Day! Celebrate with us by learning about our Puppy Heart Murmur Clinic, which offers you peace of mind if your vet finds a heart murmur! 🩺❤️ A heart murmur, often detected by your vet during a check-up, is caused by turbulent blood flow within the heart. While most dogs with heart murmurs have heart disease, sometimes they're unrelated to significant issues. However, the presence of a murmur alone doesn't determine the severity of a heart problem or the need for treatment. Understanding which patients benefit from treatment is where our cardiology expertise shines.

Ever hear the phrase, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”? That’s what today is all about. It’s Annual Medical Checkup Day and we’re here to remind you of the importance of seeing your doctor for a preventative health checkup at least once per year. According to Optum and many physicians, if you're over 40, it's a good idea to have a checkup every year to increase the likelihood that any preventable or treatable medical conditions are caught as soon as possible. With many illnesses, including diabetes, many types of cancer, and heart disease, early indicators can help your doctor detect and treat the condition more effectively. So on this important day, pick up the phone, give your doctor’s office a ring, and schedule that checkup!
