Aren't Good Enough
When it comes to treating heart disease, even the best primary care vets are stuck making their best guess.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know exactly what’s going on? That’s the power of working with a heart specialist. You can know what’s going on, how to treat it, and be confident that your pet will be on-track to stay healthy.
Get The Right Answers
It’s scary to hear “your pet has a heart condition.” Especially if you aren’t sure what you’re supposed to do to take care of it.
Hi, I’m Dr. Brian Maran. As Board-Certified Veterinary Cardiologists™, my team works closely with you and your primary care vet to get the right answers, give specialized support and provide ongoing care to treat your pet’s heart for years to come.
With a combined 40+ years of clinical practice, we’ve helped thousands of patients get the heart care their pet deserves. And we’d love to do the same for you.
How It Works
Diagnose The Disease
We’ll do a full physical exam & evaluation to identify and diagnose the disease.
Then we’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.
We develop the best treatment plan
Our specialist will create a step-by-step treatment plan tailored to each unique patient.
Then, you’ll follow the plan at home.
After regular check-ins to run tests, we’ll make adjustments as needed.
Get back to living your life
With a plan in place and your questions answered, you’ll be able to bring the family back together.
You can rest assured knowing you have the best treatment plan so you, and your pet, can get back to living life together.
What's A Specialist?
Just like cardiologists who treat human hearts, veterinary cardiologists have advanced training and expertise in treating the heart and circulatory system in animals.
Happy Heart Care Families
Dr. Maran and Holly were wonderful, helping me to diagnose my dog’s heart condition and giving me important information for future anesthesia procedures.
I can’t thank them enough for their expertise and I am now looking forward to her annual cardiology check ups!
