The Cardiology Service is excited to participate in the Dog Aging Project, an innovative initiative that brings together a community of dogs, owners, veterinarians, researchers, and volunteers to carry out the most ambitious canine science project in the world. The Dog Aging Project is centered on two fundamental goals: understanding the genetic and environmental factors that cause aging in dogs and intervening to increase healthy longevity.

The Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center no longer provides mail-in radiology consultations, effective December 27, 2019. The radiology service has one full-time radiologist with the retirement of Dr. Elizabeth Riedesel; and thus, the focus of the service will remain on in-house radiology and training of students and residents.
