Dr. Iñaki Prado Checa

Veterinary Cardiology Specialist
DipACVIM (Cardiology) CertAVP(VC)

Dr. Iñaki is our board-certified veterinary cardiologist. He earned his veterinary degree from the University of León (Spain) in 2013, where he also completed a rotating internship. He then moved to the United Kingdom, gaining invaluable experience as a general practitioner and as an emergency veterinarian.

His pursuit of advanced training led him to complete a rotating internship at the University of Cambridge, followed by a cardiopulmonary internship at the University of Edinburgh. During this time, he also achieved a Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in Veterinary Cardiology.

Dr. Iñaki subsequently completed a three-year cardiology residency at the Royal Veterinary College in London and Langford Vets at the University of Bristol. Upon completion, he obtained his Diploma in Veterinary Cardiology (DipACVIM).

Throughout his residency, Dr. Iñaki was actively involved in advanced cardiac procedures, including mitral valve repair under cardiopulmonary bypass and transapical edge-to-edge repair (TEER). He has also completed several externships at leading human cardiology centers, further expanding his expertise in heart disease and cardiac surgery.

His clinical interests include heart surgery - both open-heart and minimally invasive (keyhole) procedures, as well as treatment of arrhythmias, heart failure management, and Boxer cardiomyopathy. Dr. Iñaki is dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care and is passionate about improving the quality of life and outcomes for pets with heart disease.

Outside of work, he enjoys surfing, traveling, and Latin dancing.
