  • The clinic is responsible for:

    • Admitting and discharging patients and client communication.

    • Providing information about the patient and the reason for the scan.

    • Ensuring a suitable room that can be darkened for the procedure.

    • Supplying a nurse to assist with holding the patient during the scan.

  • By providing on-site echocardiography for pets at your veterinary clinic, this allows you to offer cardiology care without the need to refer patients to an external specialist.

    This service is ideal if:

    • Your clients face financial, insurance, or travel challenges.

    • Your clinic lacks echocardiography facilities.

    • You want to offer an alternative to external referral.

    • You’d like to enhance your in-house diagnostic capabilities.

    • You’d value a second opinion on complex cases while maintaining client communication.

  • Simply reach out via phone, email, or the website’s contact form. We can discuss your needs, arrange an initial visit (including a free scan demo if required), and create a tailored plan. For urgent cases, I can book a clinical visit immediately, subject to availability.
