Costs range from $400–$700 at a general practice to $600–$1,000 at a cardiology specialist.

Cardiology specialist echocardiograms provide the most thorough evaluation and are recommended for dogs with significant heart disease. General practice echocardiograms are appropriate for initial assessment. Dobermans, Great Danes, and Boxers should have annual cardiac screening starting at age 3.
