| description | Achieving a diagnosis of mitral valve disease (MMVD) can be relatively straightforward. Persuading owners to investigate and treat, and then maintaining adherence to a therapeutic regimen can be significantly more challenging.

This article reviews some of the potential barriers to owners following practitioners’ recommendations, and suggests some solutions. |
