Treating the heart of the matter – to help your pet live a longer and better life.
We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our veterinary cardiology team is made up of experts in diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart and lungs, and we’re here to help.
Our commitment is not just to treat illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
If your pet has a cardiovascular condition, you’ll have an entire cardiology team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our cardiology team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive care options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our cardiology team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Andrea Eriksson’s clinical interests include early detection of heart disease in dogs and cats; the treatment of end-stage congestive heart failure; and novel therapies and surgical options for chronic degenerative valve disease.
Her research interests and background include investigation of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system and how it relates to congestive heart failure in dogs; thyrotoxic heart disease and advanced cardiac imaging.
An important aspect of Dr. Eriksson’s practice is client communication and education as well as outreach and continuing education for primary care veterinarians. As a passionate advocate for her patients and their families, her goal is to provide a comprehensive triad of cardiovascular care that encompasses the pet family, the primary care veterinarian and herself.
Dr. Eriksson was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon where she learned to love hiking, camping, tide-pooling and braving the rain. During her personal time, she loves being with her husband and daughter. Together as a family, they enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, singing and playing music, and enjoying this beautiful life.
Dr. Erin McCarragher enjoys all aspects of cardiology with a particular interest in the chronic management of congestive heart failure and helping to maintain the best possible quality of life in dogs and cats with heart disease. She is passionate about client education and takes pride in building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners.
Dr. McCarragher grew up in Tampa, Florida. She enjoys travelling, especially when it involves visiting wineries or hiking, attending shows and hockey games, and trying new restaurants. More than anything else, she loves spending time with family, friends and her two handsome orange cats, Kimba and Loki.
