Have you heard of DCM (Dilated Cardiomyopathy)?

DCM is a serious heart condition that can affect several dog breeds, including Dobermans, Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds, Boxers, and others. In some breeds, there is a genetic component, and testing can help determine whether a dog carries genetic markers associated with the disease.

Today, Henry, our sweet 5-year-old Doberman, came in for his first Holter monitor placement. Henry carries genetic markers associated with DCM, and his family is doing everything they can to stay proactive about his heart health. He’ll wear the monitor for 48 hours, allowing a cardiologist to evaluate his heart rhythm and look for any abnormalities.

Early detection and routine monitoring can make a significant difference in managing heart disease and maintaining quality of life.

If you have a breed that may be predisposed to DCM, give us a call! We’d be happy to discuss screening options, monitoring recommendations, and available treatments to help keep your pet’s heart as healthy as possible. ❤️🐾

Atlas here with an important reminder:

Unexpected emergencies can happen at any time, and we never want finances to stand in the way of your pet getting the care they need. ❤️🐾

Both of our locations — Kennedy’s Animal Clinic of Raytown and Kennedy’s Animal Clinic of Lee’s Summit — offer financing options to help make emergency veterinary care more manageable.
We currently offer:
• CareCredit
• Scratchpay
• Cherry

These programs provide flexible payment options so you can focus on what matters most — your pet’s health and comfort.

If you have questions about financing or emergency care, please contact us at 816-358-0991 (Raytown) or 816-477-5246 (Lee’s Summit). Our team is here to help you and your furry family members when you need us most!

🚨TICKS ARE OUT AND ABOUT!! Make sure your pet is protected.🚨

We are seeing an increased incidence of ticks, as well as tick-borne diseases. Come pick up your monthly prevention, and ask about scheduling a 4Dx Test if your pet has been exposed to ticks and is acting out of the ordinary.

Dr. Kennedy has been battling the effects of Lyme Disease the past few years, and highly recommends keeping your fur babies safe.
