Canine Service Type I
This is our basic service option for Veterinarians. It is also the common choice for Breeders and Pet Owners who are looking for an accurate PVC screening of their dogs. When we receive your Holter recordings, our certified Technicians will carefully scan them and generate a Hospital quality report, complete with a clear PVC summary added to the cover page. This is a manual scan, not a computer generated scan. The complete report will be sent to you via E-mail. Our fee for this service is $40.00 per scan for 24-hour studies. The fee for long term studies of 2-7 days is $60 and the fee for studies of 8-14 days is $100.
Canine Service Type II
This is a more in-depth service for customers who want a Cardiologist overview of their study. The scan is processed as in the "Service Type I" and the preliminary report will be sent to you. This report is also sent to our Cardiologist. The Cardiologist will then send a interpretation of the report to you. This is an option typically used for customers who want a Cardiologist opinion regarding their dogs Holter Report. The fee for this service is $100. If you have already paid $40 for Service Type I, you can add the Cardiologist service for an additional $60.
This Cardiologist report can also be used by Doberman and Boxer owners who want an Advanced Cardiac OFA certification for their dog. If you are interested in submitting your report to OFA for certification, then you need to submit both the preliminary report and the Cardiologist report and mail directly to OFA while clearly stating that you are submitting these items for the OFA Advanced Cardiac Database.
