Holter Monitoring

Holter Monitoring in Miramar, FL

At Paw Haus Animal Hospital, we provide advanced cardiac monitoring to help evaluate your pet’s heart rhythm over an extended period. Holter monitoring is a non-invasive test that records heart activity continuously while your pet goes about their normal routine.

Understanding Holter Monitoring

Holter monitoring is used to record your pet’s heart activity over 24 to 48 hours. Unlike a standard ECG, which captures a short snapshot, this test provides continuous data that can help identify irregular or intermittent heart rhythms.

This type of monitoring is commonly used when heart rhythm issues are suspected or when additional evaluation is needed as part of a broader cardiac workup.

The procedure is safe, non-invasive, and typically well tolerated by both dogs and cats.

Cardiac Monitoring Option

Holter Study & Report — $450

Holter monitoring is a 24-hour continuous heart rhythm test used to evaluate your pet’s cardiac activity during normal daily life.

This study helps detect intermittent arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats that may not be visible during a standard in-clinic exam. It is often used when fainting episodes, collapse, or other cardiac symptoms are present, or for monitoring pets with known heart conditions.

Your pet wears a small portable device at home. Once the monitoring period is complete, the data is analyzed by our veterinary team and summarized in a detailed cardiology report with findings and recommendations.

What to Expect During Holter Monitoring

Initial Evaluation

We review your pet’s medical history and perform a physical examination to determine if Holter monitoring is appropriate.

Device Placement

A small portable monitor is gently attached to your pet using adhesive pads and secured for comfort and mobility.

At-Home Monitoring Period

Your pet wears the device for 24 to 48 hours while continuing normal activities at home, allowing natural heart activity to be recorded.

Data Review

Once the device is returned, our veterinary team analyzes the recorded data and reviews the findings with you, including any recommended next steps.

Why Holter Monitoring Matters

Holter monitoring provides extended insight into heart rhythm that cannot always be captured during a short in-clinic test.

  • Helps detect intermittent rhythm abnormalities
  • Supports evaluation of fainting or collapse episodes
  • Assists in monitoring known or suspected cardiac conditions

This information supports more informed clinical decision-making.

Holter Monitoring in Cardiac Care

Holter monitoring is often used alongside other diagnostic tools such as echocardiography, ECG, radiology, and blood pressure assessment as part of a complete cardiac evaluation.

Your veterinarian will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your pet’s individual needs.
