HOW DO I SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION?
If you would like to have Dr. Jones evaluate your pet’s heart, please contact your family veterinarian to inquire about availability.

Your veterinarian will also be able to provide you with a cost estimate, as this can vary depending on which tests are needed to complete the cardiac evaluation.
