Advanced Veterinary Cardiology for Diagnosis and Management of Heart Conditions
At Wishing Well Vets in Wishaw, our advanced cardiology service focuses on the diagnosis and management of heart conditions in pets. Using specialist knowledge and diagnostic tools, we assess heart health, investigate symptoms, and create tailored treatment plans to support your pet’s quality of life.
Our cardiology service is led by Marta, who has additional qualifications in this area, giving you confidence that your pet is receiving expert care.

Absolutely fantastic practice! All staff are so friendly and welcoming. Marta is amazing , my wee dog Rosie loves her. We never feel rushed and she always takes her time to explain Rosie's treatment. She has had a life long problem with her skin and at 14, Marta has finally helped her. We have such a happy wee dog now. Can not recommend enough!
