Blood Pressure Monitoring

Blood pressure monitoring for pets is simple, gentle and non-invasive; it allows our veterinary team to check your pet for high blood pressure. Your pet's blood pressure will be measured using a small cuff placed on your pet’s leg or tail.

Blood pressure monitoring helps identify potential health issues early, before they begin to affect your pet’s heart, kidneys, and overall health. Early detection allows us to provide the right care and support to protect your pet’s long-term health.

Regular blood pressure checks might be recommended for older pets, those with certain medical conditions, or pets taking specific medications. Our friendly veterinary team will advise if regular monitoring is appropriate based on your pet’s individual health needs.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can occur in dogs and cats. It often occurs as a result of underlying conditions such as kidney disease, thyroid problems or as a side effect of certain medications.

High blood pressure in pets is sometimes called a “silent” condition. This is because many pets show no obvious signs, making routine monitoring even more important. By identifying hypertension early, we can help protect your pet from some potentially serious complications and support them in living a happy, healthy life.
