Heart or lung disorders in pets are most commonly treated with drug therapy, but may sometimes require surgical intervention, special diets and exercise regimes or a combination of these things.

We are one of the leading centres in Europe for cardiac interventional ('keyhole') procedures, and work alongside a Specialist in Soft Tissue Surgery, who complements our work.

Surgical intervention of any sort carries a small element of risk, as do certain medications. So, following diagnosis, we'll explain clearly what the various treatment options are, their costs, likely benefits and any risks that exist. In this way, we hope to make it as easy as possible for you to make an informed decision at what will inevitably be a worrying time.
