The Role of Pet X-Rays in Veterinary Care

X-rays, also known as radiographs, are a valuable tool in veterinary diagnostics. They allow us to examine your pet’s bones, organs, and soft tissues without invasive procedures. X-rays help detect various conditions, from fractures and joint problems to heart enlargement and foreign objects.

Review the images carefully to evaluate internal structures
Discuss our findings with you and recommend next steps

Our goal is to keep you informed every step of the way while making sure your pet feels as secure and calm as possible.
