Frequently Asked Questions
Are x-rays safe for pets?
Yes! Digital X-rays use very low levels of radiation and are considered safe for both dogs and cats. Our equipment and procedures prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort.
Will I get the results the same day?
Yes! Our board certified radiologist will review the images right away and our team will discuss the findings with you during your visit.
Will my pet need sedation?
Not usually. Many pets remain calm during imaging. Sedation may be considered if your pet is particularly anxious or if optimal positioning is needed.
Can radiology detect everything?
Imaging is a powerful tool, but it may need to be combined with blood work, physical exams, or other diagnostic tests for a complete picture of your pet’s health.
