What This Means for Pet Owners

The biggest change? You no longer have to travel far for advanced heart care.

Boston West now offers on-site, monthly veterinary cardiology services, allowing pets to receive specialty heart evaluations and treatment in the same hospital families already know and trust.

What problems does a cardiologist treat?

A veterinary cardiologist evaluates and manages:

• Heart murmurs

• Congestive heart failure

• Valve disease

• Arrhythmias

• Congenital heart defects

• Enlarged heart conditions

Why families appreciate local specialty care

Instead of driving hours for appointments, pets can now:

✓ Receive advanced heart imaging locally

✓ Transition easily between ER and cardiology care

✓ Reduce travel stress for older or fragile pets

✓ Access coordinated treatment plans faster

“Offering cardiology here strengthens the care we can provide across every department,” says Jillian Sergi, Hospital Director, Boston West. “Families get answers faster, and pets benefit from seamless collaboration between teams.”
