Cardiology
Heart diseases in dogs and cats can be diagnosed increasingly well using modern techniques (echocardiography, radiography, ECG and Holter monitoring). Treatments for certain heart diseases have evolved hugely, letting us help your pet better (for example, treatments for cardiac failure, balloon dilatation for pulmonic stenosis, inserting pacemakers, etc.).

The practice’s philosophy
Assured quality, respecting both the animal and the owner.
We aim for a high-quality, personal approach to the owner and their pet. On the one hand, we provide thorough basic care for dogs and cats; on the other, we also treat referral patients with heart problems. A deliberate choice was made to have a single-vet practice with a number of assistants.
The Deprest veterinary practice (DAP Deprest) uses the latest technology. Many years of experience plus continuous training mean we can offer the highest quality.
You can go to Christine Deprest (DAP Deprest) for comprehensive basic care in all stages of your pet’s life. All consultations are with Christine herself. If Christine is unavailable, you will be referred to a colleague or you can make an appointment for when she is back.
The emphasis is on a personal approach. All potential treatments are discussed properly and the owner takes the final decision. We always respect the owner’s choice.
