Puppy & Kitten Heart Murmur Clinic
If you find an asymptomatic heart murmur during a routine puppy or kitten check you might feel it appropriate to refer your patient to our Cardiology service for specialist assessment. This can give the owners peace of mind that there isn't a longer term problem.
The cost of the clinic is £275, and the assessment and scan will be undertaken by a board-certified Cardiologist.
