Frequently Asked Questions

We perform non-invasive tests such as echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, Holter monitors, and thoracic radiographs (chest x-rays) in order to diagnose various types of heart disease.   We manage various types of heart conditions, including age-related chronic valve disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension and signs such as trouble breathing, cough, fainting, exercise intolerance.

Depending on your pet’s specific need, therapies may include injections, oral medications, or fluid removal.

All appointments are scheduled through your veterinarian. Please contact your primary veterinarian to schedule an appointment with us.

We currently travel to many parts of New Jersey, and are in the process of expanding to other locations.

We offer different types of cardiology appointments, so this depends on what is available through your veterinarian. In order to provide the best possible treatment plan for your pet, we always request detailed information about any signs your pet is having at home. For this reason we ask that you please fill out the patient history forms prior to your appointment.

For referring veterinarians: Please contact us through our website, by email, or phone to set up cardiology services for your hospital.

Many pets are at least somewhat stressed going to the vet. We do absolutely everything we can to minimize this stress and to make your pets feel loved and safe. Diagnostic tests such as echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, Holter monitors, and chest x-rays are non-invasive and not painful.

If your pet is ever experiencing trouble breathing, distress, or inability to sleep/rest comfortably, he or she should be evaluated by a veterinarian right away. Trouble breathing is an emergency, and it is recommended to go to your nearest emergency hospital.

Ekaterina Sedia

Dr. Kazdin is a wonderful cardiologist who has been taking care of my cat with cardiomyopathy since 2021. I also just started bringing my dog to her, because she is so great — attentive, caring, never makes us feel rushed. The rest of the staff is also fabulous — very accommodating and helpful. Things are generally on schedule so we never have to wait. Highly recommend!

Rich Fialkoff

Dr. Kazdin is an excellent cardiologist and our dog has really improved under her care. Her severe heart disease has remained stable so far, which is far better than we had expected. Dr. Kazdin is very thorough in her analysis of echo test results, and Importantly, makes adjustments across multiple meds as needed.

Carol weiss

Today we met with cardiologist Dr Michele Kazdin. I have never felt more at ease at the vet before. We didn’t have to wait .

She explained everything in detail and then some. Even my dog Bella stopped shaking. The tech that was with her was kind and attentive. They both turned a stressful visit into a pleasant one.

I would definitely recommend taking your pet their . I just had a good feeling about our entire visit. I’m glad I found them.

Jessica Mester

Dr Kazdin and staff are FANTASTIC! They treat my dog Chippy Shane and me like family. It’s definitely worth the long drive to get there!

Annie Trinkle

Dr. Kazdin is a brilliant cardiologist with a heart of gold. so smart, so kind, so concerned and careful with the care of her patients. several of our dogs have been patients of hers over the years, and the care has always been beyond the best.

Jaime W

We have brought our dog here to see for cardiology appointments with Dr. Kazdin a few times. Making an appointment is always so easy and fast. Dr. Kazdin is so knowledgeable and understanding. She always takes the time to hear our concerns and explain things in ways that we can understand. We live far away but always make the drive when our dog needs a cardiology check up!! Cannot say enough good things about the rest of the staff here as well.

Signs of heart disease in cats

  • Trouble breathing:   breathing rate may be faster, breaths may appear heavier, deeper, or more exaggerated.  Some cats with trouble breathing may breathe at a normal rate, but each breath appears to be a deep sigh.
  • Restlessness (accompanied by change in breathing) – inability to sleep or rest comfortably
  • Collapse or fainting
  • Exercise intolerance:  In a cat this can be transient heavier breathing after exertion, such as playing or jumping up on furniture, or stopping to lie down after taking a few steps
  • Cough is rarely a sign of heart disease in cats (it is more commonly due to asthma or other respiratory diseases), however some cats can cough with heart disease
  • Sudden paralysis or inability to use hind limbs or a forelimb
  • Behavior change:  Although this is not specific for heart disease (it can be a sign of any other illness in a cat), when cats do not feel well they may hide or sleep in unusual places, not greet you at the normal times, or be less affectionate.  Since cats are very good at hiding how they feel, it is important to have a cat evaluated when they are not acting like themselves.
Please note:
  • Some of these signs can also occur with other disease processes.  A cardiac evaluation can determine if these signs are heart-related or not.
  • Cats can also have heart disease without having any obvious signs at all.
  • Trouble breathing is an emergency; cats with trouble breathing should go to their nearest emergency hospital.
