​What was the best part of your experience with Petcardia?

• From our initial contact, to the follow-up calls regarding medication, we were SO impressed by everyone at Petcardia and would never hesitate to return or recommend the Loveland location to any of our friends or family who have fur babies!
• They always treat my dog with the utmost care and gentleness. I like that Dr. Heaney and staff get down on the floor to greet him.
• Jocelyn and Dr. Weder both taking the time to really speak with me and not rush through the conversation like most other vets do.
• Dr.Dixon is always very thorough and explains everything in detail. She shows considerable compassion and caring for my dog and for me! I trust her expertise completely and I would highly recommend her to others. Her staff is very friendly, caring and professional.
• Amy Dixon and the whole team are helpful and accommodating
• I love being able to SEE what we are talking about via diagrams and images
• I absolutely love the staff and how well my babies were taken care of!
• They were able to see my dog quickly when needed
• Dr. LaFauci was absolutely wonderful, she was very thorough with her explanation and had a genuine concern for our dog. I feel 100% confident our pet is receiving the best care with her!
• Accessibility during COVID-19. Amazing team who kept me informed through the contact free visit and made sure my pet was well cared for. Wonderful experience!
• Always professional, knowledgeable and treat both the client and pet like they are part of their family.
• Communication
• Dr. Dixon really took the time to consider the case with our Dog and prescribed a treatment that was not cookie cutter with his condition. Other vets we spoke to prior to PetCardia suggested a very intense treatment for his heartworms even though our dog did not have a severe case. Dr. Dixon was very knowledgeable on the subject and we are very grateful that we found PetCardia and drove all the way from Colorado Springs to see Dr. Dixon.
• Given the Covid-19 environment we are currently in, I was happy to be able to keep the appointment. I would have preferred to be in with Baxter, but I know he was well taken care of by Lexus and Dr LaFauci!
• Dr. Weder as always was very good about explaining Addie's results. He has always been there to answer questions. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have had the balloon done and had such a fantastic outcome. Can't say enough good things about him through Addie's care.
• Our visit to PetCardia was during the Covid19 Pandemic. With that being said, I was not able to be with our dog Kourt during his Echo-cardiogram. This was totally understandable to me, I'm in human health care so I wasn't concerned, we all have to do what is best for everyone.. Dr Dixon called me and filled me in completely on the findings of Kourt's Echo. Dr. Dixon explained the options we have in treating Kourt and his tumor. Dr. Dixon was awesome, I'm just sorry I couldn't have met her in person. Hopefully sometime soon.
• Her condition improved!!!
• The warmth and concern of Dr. Heany.
• The whole experience was positive-The receptionist was friendly. Dr. Heaney and Bryce did a great job keeping my little Chihuahua Penny calm during the ekg, bp checks and echo. Everything was explained in detail and in the discharge summary I received via email.
• My dog is 14years old. Dr. Heaney and Bryce treated her with the utmost of care and tenderness.
• Warm and friendly staff
• Staff were both professional and friendly.
• Dr. Weder and Bryce were extremely professional, yet personable and friendly, and put us and our dog immediately at ease. We appreciated being able to remain in the procedure room while the echocardiogram was being done, and our dog appreciated the extra head rubs from us at the same time!
• The compassion and understanding of the staff
• Good humored staff .... I enjoyed the interaction and the care shown for Barney.
• We loved being able to go back into the room with our pet so that he could be comfortable and we knew immediately the cause of his heart murmur.
• The entire staff was professional and kind, and did a great job of making my dog feel comfortable

• Our experience with Petcardia was wonderful! From the time that I called to make the appointment to the time that I was in their office, I felt super comfortable and welcome. Jessica was our tech and she was AMAZING! She was so smart and made me and my dog feel at ease and like we're part of her family! Dr.Weder was wonderful too! He took his time to answer all of my questions and make sure that I had all of the info that I needed to decide next steps for my dog. I cannot say enough how thankful I am that I chose the Loveland Petcardia office and trusted them to care for my pupper! Hearing that I had to take my dog to the cardiologist was a shock and scary, but by the time I left their office I felt calm and empowered with the info that I needed to make a plan for our furry family!
• The Doctor was extremely knowledgeable beyond the general Veterinarian. She knew how to communicate the medical jargon that sometimes sends me home questioning “what just happened”. She provided an email of our visit that recapped the contents of the visit and test results. On top of all that, they made the anxiety of visiting the Vet much less, probably due to the knowledge they provided to me regarding my dogs heart health. Thank you PetCardia.
• Overall great experience.
• Dr. Dixon was super sweet with Rufus even though the news was bad. She explained everything clearly and even got us in quicker than expected.
• Dr. Weder and his tech Bryce were amazing. They made us all feel welcome and comfortable. I was apprehensive about the echocardiogram but it went so smoothly. The doctor explained everything we were seeing on the screen and would stop and answer any questions I had. After the test, he went on to explain to us all his findings and answer more questions. We also received his written report the same day.

• Dr. Amy and her staff were incredibly kind with my cat, Nelly, and did everything possible to make Nelly and I both feel comfortable and confident in their diagnosis.
• The explanation of what was being done and treatment options. They took time to make sure I understood. They also made sure my fur baby was comfortable throughout the exam.
• Personal and all inclusive care.
• I was put at ease by staff, its not easy taking your fur baby to any new facility, so this was very very important. And doctor was amazing! Thanks again for making it a great experience. A special thanks to the young lady that took him for a walk while i was finishing up with paperwork
• My dog had been seen @ 4 Seasons Vet per rec of a friend when she (my dog, not my friend) developed "fainting episodes" in 2011. At that time 4 Seasons was a "one-stop-shopping" place; many specialties (cardiology, orthopedics etc) and Beanie was started on 6 different meds and showed improvement immediately. She stopped the fainting episodes, was okay for walks, and back to herself. In the last year I have noticed she seems a bit "off" at times, but she is also close to 15yrs old! I took her in to Petcardia and had her heart checked and doc eval to see if any changes needed to be made with meds. I am very grateful to have access to the specialists in veterinary medicine at Petcardia and 4 Seasons. All are knowledgeable and patient and kind. They also call in Beanies med refill needs to Costco so I can save a bit of money.
• My dog had the best time! So many staff members greeted him and played with him. He was super excited and happy with the attention. Then in the room for the ultrasound, BP check, and EKG, the Dr. and the Assistant laid him on his side in a dark room and gave him massages while I let him lick a stick with peanut butter on it. He was so relaxed and comfortable that he didn't move the entire time. For him, it was like he had been to Disney World and had a Spa day!!!
• The staff were very friendly and informative.
• Everyone seemed to really care about my dog
• Among my senior canines' multiple service providers in the area, the team from Petcardia seem like the truest animal lovers. Along with their unsurpassed expertise, I appreciate the silly voices, playtime & overall fun atmosphere to help ease my anxious guy's "stress barking," Along with the fun, Dr. Dixon patiently answers my many questions & somehow still finds time to craft a very detailed discharge summary by the time I am ready to check-out. I feel very grateful to have been linked with Petcardia at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital & would strongly recommend their services to any owner whose pet needs cardiac care or evaluation.
• They didn't try to recommend unnecessary treatments, and even saved us an unnecessary extra exam.

They are up on the latest treatments and medicines - so I know Jazzy isn't getting 'out-dated', or 'not the best' treatment. The visits aren't rushed - no hurrying us in and out. The doctor always takes the time to answer my questions and address my concerns. I have found the doctors and staff highly competent, caring and friendly. I rarely enjoy seeing 'the vet' with my dog, but Petcardia is professional, well organized, and I know Jazzy is getting the best heart care I can get her. I know they will always do their best for Jazzy and tell me what I need to know and what I can do for Jazzy. I am happy knowing that Jazzy is in very capable hands!

Also having Jackie and Alisson letting me know I am not alone and they send me email to make sure Lono is okay. This makes me feel secure in knowing my baby Lono has the best team in the world. Dr.LaFauci and Jackie are awesome angels and I appreciate everything they do.

• The Doctor and the two ladies who helped her were kind, caring, and patient. We had done the same test in another place and I wasn’t expecting Percardia to be this nice.

Not only this, but they engaged me in conversation generally and I found the price to be fair considering they are specialists! If you have any concerns about an animal friend's heart, I highly recommend taking them to Petcardia (specifically this location since I haven't had experience with any others, although I am sure they hold a high caliber).

• They were so amazingly friendly and good with our shy dog
• The staff are super friendly and helpful. I love that they have a sense of humor and make us all as comfortable as possible. They also respond quickly to emails and questions.
• We appreciate everyone accommodating our nervous dog and trying to make sure he was as comfortable as possible!
• Everyone was so kind and helpful! We were seen quickly and everything was explained to us very clearly. We were very happy with our visit.
• Never been to a dog cardiologist before. Very helpful, very informative.
• I appreciated the friendly, helpful staff.
• Excellent doctor & staff
• Dr. Weder and his asst. were very kind, explained everything and were kind to my Benji.
• My appointment was under an emergency situation. The care and thoughtfulness for my dog and I were exceptional!
• I was very impressed with the level of care the entire staff provided during our visit. It was apparent they had taken the time to read our file prior to the visit and were very knowledgeable in past care received. The procedure, findings, and plan for care were explained in an easy to understand manner. I never felt rushed. You have a great team and I would highly recommend.
• Extremely impressed with everyone we came into contact with at Petcardia.
• They love my dog almost as much as I do.
• Great experience during a stressful time from start to finish
• The visit was wonderful for me and my dog, but what really stood out to me was the personable nature of the Docs, techs and staff. And the follow-up documentation - so informative and helpful for people like me who don’t always take in all the details described when nervous about the health of my pet! Thank you for taking care of the details!
• I was happy in their diagnosing Angel and the meds prescribed really helped Angel be more comfortable
• The staff was amazing. From the front desk, tech, and doctor; everyone was extremely warm and friendly. Super knowledgeable and understanding. I highly recommend. I feel so much better knowing Pablo is in good care and I trust their advice and diagnosis is made with love.
• The Petcardia team personalized my pup's experience, which made me feel like they truly cared. Having a dog with a lot of anxiety, the team was incredibly passionate and kind, making him feel more calm.
• This was our first time working with Petcardia. I was nervous, only because our cat gets very stressed by vet visits. Everyone was wonderful and I’ve already recommended Petcardia to our friends and family.
• The thorough explanation by vets and help to understand preventive interventions
• We were welcomed and treated like family. I am actually a veterinarian and it was fascinating to see the difference between a mobile consult vs the brick and mortar experience and I see better ways to communicate the value of that experience.
• Dr. Dixon and Rachel were amazing with my dog. They both treated him like he was their own!!
• Dr. Dixon and Rachel are so compassionate and caring, they make us and our pet comfortable.
• Rachel (the tech) and Dr. Heaney were wonderful. They were so detail oriented and kind. Abby (our fur baby) loved Dr. Heaney. Thank you for your great service and compassion.
• The people!
• The warmth and bedside manner decreased the stress of the situation immensely. The way information was explained was clear and understandable. And the way my baby was treated and loved on while being examined made me extremely comfortable. Also... knowing people who trusted their own dogs in their care was the reason I sought PetCardia out in the first place.
• The people and the way they handle Bambaataa
• We could not have had a better experience. Of course being at the hospital is not an ideal situation, but we left feeling as hopeful as we could. The staff genuinely loved my little girl. They were so incredibly patient with me while I cried and they did such a great job explaining to me what was going on with my sweet girls' heart.
• I love all the staff here. They truly care about the well being of your pet. I highly highly recommend them!
• I loved that my pets name was written on the board when we came for our apt. That warmed my heart and put me at ease. The staff were wonderful, quickly connected with my primary vet, and were very supportive in following up with us.
• All were very caring and responsive
• I was amazed at how well Dr. Weder and his staff were able to to gain the trust of my feisty terrier mix.
• The Wheatridge facility is without doubt the best group of specialists in the multi state area, even superior to CSU. Petcardia fits right in with the other specialists we have previously used. Our 13 year old dog was treated with care and love, from the welcome card to the detailed explanation of her heart problem. Although part of the news was not what I wanted to hear, the doctors explanation was delivered with compassion.
• Fabulous team. Dr. Dixon was amazing.
• The staff was incredible.
• A.J. was very comfortable. She laid still and didnt try to get up
• Lovely, compassionate care!
• Dr. Weder did an outstanding job explaining my pet’s medical issues and I now have a much better understanding of his condition. I really liked being in the exam room while the examination was being performed. It was a much more thorough, informative, and less rushed experience than we’ve had at CSU.
• Everyone there is terrific! I know that you see many patients, nonetheless, I felt that the entire staff took a genuine interest in me and my dog, not just clinically, but personally. Thank you all Very Much for you kindness. Needless to say, your technical skills are the best!
• I love coming to see the team at Petcardia. They are so willing to share their knowledge and answer my endless questions.
• The staff was welcoming, comforting, professional, informative
• I always feel so comfortable when i come in for a visit because they treat Keith was so much care. You can tell the truly love their jobs and it shows.
• The entire staff was professional and very sympathetic during a difficult time for us as a pet parents. They were extremely patient while answering questions and providing difficult information. I left there with a great sense of piece knowing my dog had just been in the hands of some of the best around.
• The doctor and the tech were both very friendly and knowledgeable and made us very comfortable. We really appreciated being able to be with Jeffrey the whole time rather than having him taken to another room for his tests. They were very gentle and kind with Jeffrey and we liked the homey atmosphere as opposed to the assembly-line situation we have had with other places. We highly recommend Petcardia and couldn't be more satisfied with the whole experience. We are so glad we found Petcardia!
• The staff at Petcardia are incredibly friendly and very helpful in answering any questions or concerns you may have. Hank (my dog) and me were made to feel welcome and at east immediately. Hank gets nervous around new things/procedures, so he was a little bit of a handful when he was put on the table to do an ultrasound of his heart. Between Dr. Heaney and her vet tech helping me handle Hank, we were able to get a good ultrasound and Hank got lots of treats afterwards and walked away a happy boy. They definitely put my mind at east about Hank's heart murmur and provided me with clear next steps to follow. We will definitely come back to Petcardia if Hank, or any of my other pets, need cardiology work done.
• We appreciated that we were allowed time to process everything that was going on. We didn't feel rushed and Dr. Weder used various methods, from drawing pictures to walking through the EKG with us. This allowed us to understand everything in the best possible way.
• Staff were so friendly and helpful! Office was beautiful and clean.
• Great experience. I've never seen my dog so relaxed at the vet's office!
• Everyone was very warm and welcoming.
• I wish you were a full service clinic-I'd switch to you in a nanosecond!
• Everyone was so nice and treated my dog like it was their own. I asked a ton of questions and the doctor was thorough in answering. All three times I have been there I have felt like my dog was getting the best of care. This was the first time my dog saw Dr. Weder and he was very familiar with her file, condition and previous visits. It was very nice that Dr. Heaney’s notes from the previous visits were so complete that Dr. Weder could follow up so seemlessly. You have a great staff of doctors. I like both of Latte’s Doctors very much. Latte’s condition is stable. Thank you so much for taking excellent care and treatment of my dog. Everyone is wonderful from the staff at the front desk to the Assistants to the Doctors.
• All of the staff, from front desk, vet tech, to doctor, were very friendly, smart, and explained everything clearly. They took the time to explain my dog's diagnosis carefully and gave a revised treatment plan and follow up. I had a great experience here, probably one of the best vet experiences I've encountered with my pet. You can tell they care, they even let me go into the ultrasound room with my pup and watch the process! No more wondering what goes on in the "back" when they take your pup away. Highly recommend.
• Love, love, love all on the staff!
• It meant a lot that the process was never rushed — and that I had time to formulated my questions and have them answered. Everyone was very kind.
• This was the third in what will be regular appointments for our dog. We like that each appointment was on time, not rushed, thorough, professional and informative. The Drs and Techs are outstanding technically and personally. They really love animals and care!
• I walked in completely worried that my puppy would have a shortened life. I walked out with the peace of mind that he is normal and will live a long life. The cardiologist explained the echocardiogram in depth to me, which was incredible. They treated me and my family with dignity and respect.
• Very helpful and informative
• I loved how everyone treated Belle like their own dog....loving on her and making her feel comfortable. She was happy as well
• Everyone was so kind and friendly and clearly cared about my dog, it was great experience.

• Dr. Weder and the Petcardia staff were wonderful! I would 100% recommend Dr. Weder to anyone who is in need of veterinary cardiac care. He's extremely knowledgeable, thorough and personable.
• I could not have had a better experience.
• Dr. Heaney was not only compassionate to be about my dog’d diagnoses but was also realistic when I asked for honest answers. She answered all of my questions and guided me through a very difficult time.
• Very helpful and very kind with Simon
• The entire Petcardia team is amazing! I wouldn’t take my pups anywhere else. So lucky to have such an amazing team caring for my girls!
• Dr. Weder, Jessica and Bryce were awesome! They took their time explaining everything in detail, and treated Spike with such love and care. I was so impressed during my visit. So glad to know that I have Dr. Weder looking after Spike's heart.
• I truly enjoyed the staff. They were very informative and easy to speak with. I liked that they only prescribed the necessary tests. They were open and honest, very accommodating to our needs especially since we had to bring in both our dogs even though only one of them was being seen. They were super friendly and we feel very confident in their abilities. We were very uneasy about having to go to Wheatridge Animal Hospital due to some very bad experiences with their ER services (for both our dogs). Petcardia was completely different even though in the same building.
• The friendly, caring and very professional environment is noticable 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.
• The kindness and love shown to Tyson is wonderful. I was impressed with the thoroughness of gathering information and the unhurried pace of his exam. I am grateful for the care and dedication of the entire team. It is a blessing to have such wonderful care available.
• All the staff, techs and vet, were very friendly and supportive. They answered all my questions and made my puppy feel as comfortable as possible. I would definitely recommend Petcardia to anyone!
• Such a wonderful experience and surprising outcome for my dog whom has been over medicated for the past year! Dr. Amy made quick yet confident decisions to lower his dosage and there was a night/day difference in my dogs quality of life. Thank you so much Petcardia!

• We had a complete analysis of my pets disease along with a plan to care for her at home. She is doing so much better which makes us very happy to improve her lifes quality & time .
• Dr. Dixon is a gem, truly treating my dog as her own. And Joy is also great.
• Dr. Heaney was very helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions. She even called the pet food brand company of the brand of food my dog is on to find out what would be the best low-sodium solution for him.
• The vet techs were top notch! My dog was initially very nervous and frightened, but the kindness and warmth of the techs came through to her clearly and she was soon relaxed and enjoying the pets and attention.

• I appreciate that I never feel rushed during my appointments. My dog has quite a few ailments and we visit vet offices regularly. Petcardia is truly unique in that way. You won't feel rushed to get through your questions and the entire team seems to genuinely care. I also appreciate their sense of humor and the camaraderie among the Petcardia team. Overall, it's a very warm and welcoming environment.
• The staff is amazing and the clinic is the most chill place ever experienced when taking my dogs into see a doctor. ! !
• The Cardiologist and Vet Technicians
• Wonderful and caring staff!!! Wonderful experience
• The staff was very knowledgeable and personable they made me and my pet feel that we were in good hands. They answered all of my questions and issued detailed discharge information right away. They also followed up with a phone call to check on how my pet was doing the following day. They are clearly professionals in their field providing top notch care. The facility is also very clean and well maintained.

• an otherwise stressful or worrisome appointment was clearly made comfortable for me, personally as well as for my little guy. Warm, Welcoming and comforting.

• It was a great experience.
• We are extremely happy with Dr. Heaney and the staff at Petcardia.
• Caring, competent attention to both me and my senior dog.
• What a great visit. My dog is a recent rescue, very timid and scared. The staff took the time to let her get comfortable with the surroundings. You could really tell the staff loves animals and cares about each and every pet. Dr. Heaney answered all my questions and took extra time to discuss recent food studies that are taking place. Highly recommend this practice.

The list goes on and on but it's clearly obvious the entire staff there is super passionate about what they do.
