Merry Christmas and happy holidays from all of us at Mighty Hearts Project 🎄🎁🐶

Hello Mighy Hearts Family,

We are very excited and pleased to announce the launch of our new updated website. It’s an educational website designed to assist owners of dogs with canine mitral valve disease. This portal provides clear, compassionate guidance, educational resources, and general information to help you better understand your dog’s condition and care options.

For details about the programs, including success rates, booking appointments, or learning more about available treatments, please contact the hospitals or clinics directly where the programs are offered. While the website offers helpful information, it does not replace veterinary care or direct program guidance.

We hope this resource empowers you with knowledge and support as you navigate your dog’s heart health journey.

Most noteworthy, we have added a University of Florida section after attending the ACVS conference in Seattle in October. We spoke directly with the heart surgeons and gained much more clarity about their program.

Thank you.

We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude for
Boris Sapozhnikov, for helping us design and implement this beautiful new educational website. We look forward to the continued projects you are helping us with in order to create a better navigational experience for our families to easily find the information they need to help their animals.

Mighty Hearts Project earned the 2025 Gold Seal of Transparency from Candid showcasing its dedication to openness in mission and impact. We believe that every
