Imaging: Ultrasound & Radiology
Why Pet Imaging Is Important for Your Pet’s Health
Veterinary imaging provides detailed, real-time insights into your pet’s health without the need for invasive procedures. Many health conditions develop internally without visible symptoms, making imaging essential for early disease detection and diagnosis.
- Non-Invasive & Painless – Provides a stress-free diagnostic experience for pets
- Detects Internal Injuries & Fractures – Identifies broken bones, joint issues, and soft tissue damage
- Early Detection of Diseases – Finds tumors, organ dysfunction, and internal abnormalities before symptoms appear
- Monitors Chronic Conditions – Helps track the progression of diseases like arthritis or heart disease
- Essential for Emergency Care – Quickly identifies internal bleeding, obstructions, and trauma-related injuries
With imaging technology, our veterinarians can pinpoint health issues early, leading to better treatment outcomes and a longer, healthier life for your pet.

FAQs About Veterinary Imaging
Does my pet need to be sedated for X-rays or an ultrasound?
Most pets do not require sedation for standard X-rays or ultrasounds. However, if your pet is anxious, in pain, or requires a very detailed scan, we may recommend mild sedation for comfort and accuracy.
How long does a pet imaging appointment take?
Most X-rays are completed within minutes, while ultrasounds typically take 15–30 minutes. Results are available the same day, allowing immediate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Is imaging safe for my pet?
Yes! Our digital X-ray technology minimizes radiation exposure, making it safe and effective for pets. Ultrasound uses sound waves and is completely non-invasive.
What conditions can be diagnosed with pet imaging?
Pet imaging helps diagnose fractures, joint issues, tumors, organ disease, heart conditions, pregnancy, internal bleeding, and more.
