That’s a wrap on Cardiac Week!

What a wonderful turnout! A huge thank you to Melbourne Animal CT and Portside Vet Care for being part of our Cardiac Week promotion, and of course, to all the lovely pets and their owners who participated.

We hope these cardiac health checks help give pet parents greater peace of mind and support the early detection, monitoring and management of heart disease — because every little heartbeat matters.
