What a great group of professionals! Drake was personally greeted at the door and they took such care with making him feel at ease and comfortable. They invited me to be with Drake while he was having his ECG and Ultrasound and thoroughly explained what I was seeing on the screen. They definitely put my mind and Drake at ease through this whole nerve-wracking ordeal.

​I travel from Tucson, AZ just to see Dr. Heaney. My dog was diagnosed with a heart murmur and it was recommended she be seen by a cardiologist. Dr. Heaney came so highly recommended it was worth the trip.

From arriving at the clinic to our departure, everything was exemplary. The doctors, techs and supporting staff were all incredibly professional, kind and welcoming. We felt as though we were receiving the VIP treatment. Their extensive knowledge about Boxers eased our anxieties right away.  We are happy to report that our boy is very healthy but will not hesitate to return to the clinic in the future for any further needs.

The friendly, caring and very professional environment is noticeable from the minute you walk in the door, the welcome sign for your dog is also a really nice touch ! The level of care, explanation of findings and follow up has been excellent and beyond expectation.

It was really scary getting told that our kitten had an abnormal heart but the vets at Petcardia put our minds at ease. They are happy to explain everything they see on the echocardiogram, they answer all of our questions (which are numerous) and provide a timetable for rechecks. Little Z is very shy with strangers but they know how to handle him so he stays relaxed. He just went back last week and while his heart still looks funny it hasn't changed and it looks like it may be a feature and not a bug. So no need for a recheck next year but we will back the year after that. Thanks so much Petcardia!

  • The staff is always welcoming and very informative! They are amazing with all of my dogs especially my boy who is very nervous of new people; he met Dr. Dixon and Rachel and pretty much fell in love with them right away!!!

Petcardia Core Values

Compassion and Empathy
We understand that having a pet examined by a specialist can be emotional.  Rest assured that we take the time to treat patients and family members with dignity and respect.  Families are always welcome to be present during an exam where we explain our findings, listen to concerns, and answer all questions.  We strive to be an extension of your family veterinary practice.
COmprehensive Care
All diagnostic tests and treatment plans are performed by our ACVIM board-certified veterinary cardiologists. Patients are always under their care -- never a resident, never a student.  Cardiology exams always include an echocardiogram, blood-pressure, electrocardiogram and full cardiac physical exam -- we provide the best treatment for our patients the first time, every time.
Collaborative Medicine
We create clear, concise and actionable plans that consider input from everyone invested in the patient’s health: the family, the primary care veterinarian, and also other veterinary specialists when appropriate. We believe that the primary care veterinarian is the “key-stone” to effective patient care, and we ensure that they remain central to the treatment plan.
Effective Communication
Both continuity and quality of care can be dramatically improved through effective communication.  Our goal is to ensure that everyone understands our findings, the significance of any heart disease, and the purpose of treatment and future evaluations.  We want to stay involved and supportive throughout the patient’s continued treatment.
