About Dr. Hayley.
Dr. Hayley McDonald is a board-certified veterinary cardiologist, key opinion leader, speaker, and the voice of The Rhythm Vet.
She teaches the medicine the way a colleague would explain it, because most cardiac cases are met first by a general-practice vet, a new graduate, or a technician, with no specialist on site. Her case breakdowns walk through the ECG and the echo, one step at a time, and land on the call she would make.
She has trained and practiced across New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and now practices in the San Francisco Bay Area.
