Your pet deserves nothing less than the best in veterinary care.
And that’s what you’ll find when you trust your pet’s health to us.

Does Your Pet Really Have a Healthy Heart?

Heart disease is more common than most pet owners realise – and often, the signs don’t show until it’s too late.
So when should your pet see a cardiologist?

🚨 Watch for these warning signs:
• Shortness of breath
• Coughing
• Fatigue
• Exercise intolerance

But here’s the truth: Most pets show no symptoms until the final stages of heart failure, when treatment becomes far more difficult.

📊 Did you know?
🔹 1 in 10 small-breed dogs has heart disease
🔹 1 in 3 cats is affected – often silently
🔹 High-risk breeds are even more vulnerable!

🦴 At-risk breeds include:
Dogs: Pomeranians, Poodles, Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Cavaliers, Dobermans, Boxers, Golden Retrievers
Cats: Maine Coons, Ragdolls, British & Scottish Folds, Sphynxes, Persians, Munchkins

🎯 Early detection is everything.
Starting treatment before symptoms appear can extend your pet’s life by 1.5 to 2 years!

🧪 At ADI, our veterinary cardiologist uses:
✅ Echocardiography (Ultrasound)
✅ ECG
✅ X-rays
✅ Blood tests

These tools allow us to catch disease early, determine its stage, and start a treatment plan that gives you more time with your best friend. 💙
