When we say “congenital”, we mean defects or disorders present at birth, with congenital heart disease sometimes going undetected due to lack of adequate screening. Congenital cardiac issues can arise from abnormal development of the heart during foetal growth, and some conditions are more commonly seen in specific breeds of dogs and cats. That's where comprehensive, targeted screening comes in: Left undetected, cardiac conditions can progress, potentially affecting your pet’s comfort, health, and lifespan. But when caught early, many can be managed well, giving your beloved pet a better quality of life and a stronger chance at long-term health.
That’s why we’re organising a dedicated to help detect congenital heart issues early:
🐾 Cardiac screening for puppies and kittens under 12 months
🫀 Young dogs and cats up to 5 years of age showing signs like fainting, laboured breathing, or exercise intolerance are also encouraged to register
🩺 Comprehensive screening performed by experienced vets, tailored to each pet’s unique needs (e.g. breed predispositions)
💰 Subsidised package rates for this screening
📅 Flexible scheduling: Dates and times will be shared post-registration
📢 Advance registration is required: www.tinyurl.com/congenitalcamp
As emergency vets, we are seeing too many unfortunate cases of cardiac disease progressing unchecked. Early detection can make a HUGE difference, especially if your little one has a family history of cardiac disease. Please help us protect their health by ensuring timely screening 🙏
