States with only one or two specialists
These states have a board-certified cardiologist, but barely. Expect longer wait lists and plan a drive — and check the neighboring states listed on each page before you book.
States without a local board-certified cardiologist
These states don't currently have a DACVIM-Cardiology specialist practicing locally. Each page lists the closest neighboring states and travel tips.
Why see a cardiologist?
Your regular vet is great - but heart disease requires a specialist. A board-certified veterinary cardiologist (DACVIM-Cardiology) has completed years of additional training in cardiac diagnosis and treatment.
They can:
- Perform and interpret echocardiograms
- Read Holter monitor results with expert precision
- Create a tailored treatment plan for your dog
- Monitor disease progression over time
- Adjust medications based on your dog's response
