As veterinary professionals, we know that cats are great at hiding illness, even when it’s heart disease. But it can be difficult for pet owners to understand that heart disease in cats shows few obvious signs. That’s where the Cardiopet^® proBNP Test can help. Initial findings from the IDEXX National Feline Cardiac Survey shed new light on feline heart disease. These findings have informed the creation of YourCatsHeart.com, a Web site that supports veterinarians’ efforts to educate pet owners about the symptoms and risks of feline heart disease.

See the preliminary survey results, or learn more and enroll to participate.
