Coast to Coast Cardiology

What Coast to Coast Cardiology does

Coast to Coast Cardiology is a private veterinary cardiology practice network founded in 2008 by Dr. Thomas J. Morrison and headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts. The company provides board-certified (ACVIM) specialty cardiac care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, operating through two standalone clinics (Newton and Peabody, MA) and a hub-and-spoke model with embedded cardiologist coverage at approximately ten partner emergency and specialty hospitals across Massachusetts and California. The clinical service portfolio centers on non-invasive diagnostics (echocardiography, ECG/EKG including 24- and 48-hour Holter monitoring, digital radiography, blood pressure monitoring, in-house bloodwork) and treatment services spanning medical management, hospitalization coordination, and minimally invasive interventional procedures such as pacemaker implantation, patent ductus arteriosus occlusion, balloon valvuloplasty, heartworm extraction, and ASD/VSD closure, with company-reported success rates exceeding 95% for the core interventional set.

The practice operates as a referral-based specialty service, receiving patients from primary care veterinarians, emergency hospitals, and direct pet-owner bookings via the EzyVet patient portal. It maintains an active recruitment posture for additional cardiologists, with recent 2024 hires and an open ACVIM job posting. Recurring and ancillary revenue is generated through a Covetrus-powered online pharmacy, AliveCor at-home ECG monitoring, and partner-host fee arrangements with hospitals such as BrightCare, VCA Lakewood, Pacific Care, CASE, PETS, Bakersfield Veterinary Hospital, Sturbridge, Westford, and Animal Emergency and Urgent Care. The company is privately held, has not disclosed revenue or external funding, and serves more than 10,000 pet families across its 12 locations.

Revenue mechanics are fee-for-service professional services at the core, with subscription-like recurring pharmacy revenue on top. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per consultation. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and referral-driven, supported by educational content marketing, social media, and a digital presence managed via iVET360. The customer base is end-consumer pet owners in the upper-mid-market segment, supplemented by B2B referral flow from primary care and emergency veterinary practices; there are no disclosed enterprise customer concentrations.

• Electrocardiography (ECG/EKG) Painless test recording electrical activity of the heart to diagnose arrhythmias and guide treatment decisions. Includes standard ECGs, 24/48-hour Holter monitoring, and event recorders for dogs and cats.
• Digital Radiographs (X-rays) Chest radiographs providing visualization of heart size, shape, and position to evaluate cardiac and pulmonary health, detect enlargement, and assess fluid accumulation.
• Blood Pressure Monitoring Non-invasive vital sign assessment measuring the force of blood against artery walls to detect hypertension and guide cardiac treatment in dogs and cats.
• Minimally Invasive Cardiac Catheterization Advanced interventional procedures including pacemaker implantation, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occlusion, balloon valvuloplasty, heartworm extraction, and ASD/VSD closure performed through small catheter access points, with reported success rates exceeding 95% and same-day recovery.
• Medical Management Customized cardiac medication protocols covering congestive heart failure, heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, and blood clot prevention, with ongoing monitoring and adjustment for chronic cardiac conditions.
• Hospitalization and Emergency Cardiac Care Critical cardiac stabilization and coordination with 24-hour emergency hospitals for acute heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias, and post-procedure monitoring in dogs and cats.
• Holter Monitoring Ambulatory ECG monitoring via a portable backpack device worn for 24 or 48 hours to detect arrhythmias that may not occur during a standard office visit.
• AliveCor Mobile ECG Remote Monitoring At-home electrocardiogram device and smartphone app enabling pet owners to record pet heart rhythm and transmit ECG recordings to the cardiology team for review.
• Online Pharmacy (Covetrus) Home-delivery pharmacy service through the Covetrus partnership providing heart medications prescribed by the cardiology team, including compounded flavors, for chronic cardiac condition management.

• VCA Animal Hospitals (Mars Veterinary Health): National network of primary, specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals under Mars Veterinary Health. Many VCA locations offer cardiology services, making it a broad incumbent competitor across both MA and CA.
• Animal Medical Center (NYC): Large nonprofit veterinary specialty and teaching hospital in New York with a prominent cardiology service led by ACVIM-boarded cardiologists. Comparable as a high-volume specialty cardiology practice serving a major metro referral base.
• UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital: Academic veterinary teaching hospital in California with a cardiology service that performs interventional procedures like pacemaker implantation and PDA occlusion — the same advanced procedures Coast to Coast specializes in.

Direct peers

• SAGE Veterinary Centers: Multi-location specialty and emergency veterinary group headquartered in California with cardiology services. Direct competitor in the California specialty referral market where Coast to Coast operates several locations.

Regional players
