Telemetry monitoring tracks heart rhythm, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and respiration continuously — so we catch problems the second they start.

For critically ill pets, vital signs change minute to minute.

Why it matters
The earlier we catch a problem, the better the outcome.
Critically ill patients can develop arrhythmias, sudden hypotension, or oxygen drops without obvious outward signs. By the time a problem becomes visible to the eye, it may already be advanced. Telemetry catches changes the moment they happen.
A dog recovering from splenectomy can develop ventricular tachycardia hours after surgery — a known complication that’s easy to miss without a continuous telemetry monitoring system on the patient. Catching it on the monitor lets us treat with anti-arrhythmics before the rhythm becomes life-threatening.
Cats recovering from heart disease, dogs with sepsis, post-trauma patients, and animals on multiple medications all benefit from telemetry systems running around the clock. We deploy these systems whenever the pace of change is faster than spot checks can capture.
The Dogwood standard
Telemetry that drives real decisions.
-
Continuous, not intermittent
Spot vitals every 4 hours can miss the most important moments. Our telemetry runs around the clock with alarm thresholds set for each patient’s condition.
-
Critical care interpretation
Data only matters if someone is reading it. Our critical care team and ICU technicians review telemetry trends throughout each shift, adjusting therapy in real time.
-
Multi-parameter integration
ECG, blood pressure, SpO₂, and respiration are tracked together — not in isolation. A drop in oxygen with rising heart rate tells a different story than either alone.
-
Cardiology consultation when needed
Complex arrhythmias get reviewed by our cardiology team. Telemetry data is shared and discussed in real time.
