Free Dog Heart Checks in Jacksonville

January 27, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ –The
Mobile Dog Heart Health Tour is heading to Jacksonville for an
afternoon of free heart health examinations at the St. Johns Town
Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, January 28.
 Certified veterinary specialists will perform on-site heart
screenings in a soundproof medical unit, as well as educate owners
about canine heart disease.

Since early 2009, veterinarians on the Mobile Dog Heart Health
Tour have checked the hearts of more than 5,000 dogs around the
country and found a previously undetected heart murmur in
approximately 20 percent of them. In addition to providing free
heart health exams, veterinarians teach dog owners about heart
disease – a common ailment that is about as prevalent in dogs
as it is in humans.

About 11 percent of the nearly 75 million dogs in the United
States have heart disease, and that figure increases to as many as
60 percent among aged dogs and certain predisposed breeds. Yet, a
national survey shows that more than half of dog owners are unaware
that their dogs may be at risk of heart failure.

“Early diagnosis and treatment of heart disease can
significantly prolong and improve the quality of a dog’s life,”
said Dr. Green, a local Florida veterinarian with the Mobile Dog
Heart Health Tour. “We look forward to educating local dog owners
about heart disease in dogs and the treatment options. By
emphasizing the importance of annual veterinary examinations and
early diagnosis of heart disease, we hope to help more dogs live
longer and better lives.”

Veterinary specialists will provide free dog heart screenings
from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. on January 28 at St. Johns Town Center,
outside of Dick’s Sporting Goods at 10390 Midtown Parkway in
Jacksonville. Certified veterinary specialists on the Mobile Dog
