Advanced cardiac diagnostics and compassionate care for your beloved pets – because every heartbeat matters to those who matter most to you.
The charm of Rancho Murieta goes beyond its golf courses and waterfront views - it's the sense of community that makes this place special. We built Murieta Pet Hospital with that same community spirit in mind. Our team doesn't just treat pets; we welcome families. We've created a place where cutting-edge medicine meets real compassion, where your nervous cat or energetic puppy gets the same thoughtful care you'd give them at home. No corporate shortcuts or rushed appointments - just skilled professionals who take the time to know each animal's quirks and needs. Because when your pet feels better, your whole family does too.
Heart disease affects our pets just as it affects humans, often progressing silently until symptoms become severe. According to veterinary studies, approximately 10% of all dogs and cats will develop some form of heart disease during their lifetime, with certain breeds facing significantly higher risks. Early detection and specialized cardiac care can dramatically improve your pet’s prognosis, quality of life, and longevity when facing cardiovascular challenges.
At Murieta Pet Hospital, our team of UC Davis-trained veterinarians provides specialized pet care for Rancho Murieta and surrounding communities. With our advanced diagnostic equipment and specialized training, we deliver exceptional cardiology services typically found only in larger urban veterinary centers. As a family-owned practice, we treat your pets like our own family members, providing the same level of compassionate cardiac care we would want for our own beloved animals.
Detecting heart disease in its early stages is crucial for successful management. Our hospital offers sophisticated diagnostic tools to identify and evaluate cardiac conditions with precision and accuracy.
Electrocardiography records the electrical activity of your pet’s heart, helping us identify arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) and other electrical conduction abnormalities. Our hospital offers both in-house ECGs for immediate assessment and Holter monitors for 24-hour recordings, allowing us to detect intermittent arrhythmias that might not appear during a standard examination.
Our cardiology team has extensive experience diagnosing and treating a wide range of cardiac conditions in pets of all ages and breeds.
Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood efficiently, leading to fluid accumulation in the lungs or abdomen. Signs may include coughing, difficulty breathing, exercise intolerance, and abdominal distension. Our treatment protocols combine medications to improve heart function, manage fluid accumulation, and enhance quality of life.
Degenerative valve disease, particularly mitral valve disease in small-breed dogs, is one of the most common cardiac conditions we treat. As valves become leaky, they allow blood to flow backward in the heart, reducing cardiac efficiency. Our cardiologists develop customized treatment plans to slow disease progression and manage symptoms.
This condition, characterized by thickening of the heart muscle, is the most common heart disease in cats. Many affected cats show no symptoms until the disease is advanced, making regular cardiac screenings essential, especially for predisposed breeds. Our team employs state-of-the-art diagnostics to identify this condition early and implement appropriate treatments.
