Why Pet X-Rays Are Important

Many internal issues are not visible through a physical exam alone. Veterinary radiology helps detect underlying problems before they become critical. This is especially important for:

Pets showing signs of limping, coughing, vomiting, or lethargy
Diagnosing age-related conditions like arthritis
Post-accident evaluations (e.g., falls or trauma)

Identifying the presence and location of ingested objects

Prompt imaging can make a major difference in recovery outcomes, helping your pet get the care they need, right when they need it.
