________________________________________________________________________________
Please join us in thanking Dr. Neal Peckens, DVM, and the associates of CVCA-Vienna for their time and effort in this providing this important cardiac clinic for early detection of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM).
We are especially thankful for being able to offer this Clinic during the ongoing pandemic.
The clinic is coordinated by DAR&E. PLEASE Do not call or contact CVCA Vienna with questions.
ALL questions should be directed to the contact person at the email listed on the Registration Form.
DCM is one of the most common acquired heart diseases in dogs, especially those breeds with large chest cavities. Large and giant breeds are most affected, but it also occurs in smaller breed dogs and cats. DCM is a slowly progressive disease, however, in animals with early detection, medical therapy can help prolong survival and provide a better quality of life for several more years.
Because of CVCA’s support and cooperation, we are able to offer this Cardiac Clinic at a significantly reduced cost. This is a savings of 50 to 75%, as the cost of this Echo exam is typically over $600. We have a Limit of 26 spots available. However, we must have a MINIMUM of 10 exams scheduled, or the clinic will be CANCELLED!
A portion of the proceeds from this clinic will also assist neglected, abused, and abandoned Doberman Pinschers. DAR&E (Doberman Assistance, Rescue and Education) is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization operating in DC, Maryland, Virginia & parts of WV.
THIS IS A SCREENING CLINIC ONLY – PETS WITH KNOWN PROBLEMS
SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THEIR REGULAR CARDIOLOGIST.
Tell all your friends and fellow pet lovers about this clinic. This clinic is open to ALL breeds of dogs or cats.
Only one person per dog will be able to accompany their pet inside the facility. A DAR&E volunteer will check you in, and a CVCA Staff Member will take you and your pet into the facility for the Exam.
