How to Save on Veterinary Costs at CVCA Cardiac Care for Pets

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

We took our pup in for an echo to follow up on a small congenital heart defect and I was so impressed by the entire experience. Michael the tech was efficient and kind as he was tasked with holding a squirmy patient. Dr Boorstin was thorough, extremely knowledgeable and has a wonderful bedside manner. He explained the findings in depth and made me very confident in his expertise. The office itself was very friendly, efficient and made the whole experience a breeze!

Our almost 15 old cat had some blood work that indicated he could be having heart issues. Our primary care vet (who is also great, Austin Urban Vet) recommended CVCA. We were able to get an appointment within a couple of days and the team did a wonderful job. Knew how to handle our boy to minimize his stress, included us in all the work they did, answered every question, and just provided a welcoming and comforting environment. Recommend them 150%.

My mixed breed 14-year-old dog Boomer and I visited the Cary, NC, location yesterday so we could check on Boomer's heart. She received tender care during an ultrasound. Our technician was so kind and communicative. And I was much relieved to know the status of Boomer's heart murmur. The doctor explained everything thoroughly and made sure I understood. This information will guide Boomer's care in the year ahead. I already have a full report and so does her regular vet. Thank you, CVCA.

The whole staff was so sweet to my dog. We went in for an ultrasound because of concerning blood work, and the doctor was very knowledgeable. Luckily my pup has a healthy heart, so we will be back in a year for a check up. Loved this place & Toby had a great experience!

I brought my cat to be seen by Dr. Boorstin after her PCP heard a heart murmur and a snap BNP test was positive. As of 2/2024, CVCA did not have a long waitlist, and I was relieved that my cat could be seen one week from the time I called. This is a well-run practice. The office and exam areas are clean and new. I am glad I was able to be present in the room while my cat received the EKG and Echo. Dr. Boorstin has wonderful bedside manner and answered all my questions thoroughly. Using a heart diagram, he diligently explained his findings, and made sure to I understood his assessment and plan for my cat. Procedures can be expensive, but due to the care, expertise, and communication of Dr. Boorstin and CVCA, I left the appointment feeling uplifted. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Boorstin and CVCA to anyone looking for a pet cardiologist.
