Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays give us clear images of your pet’s bones, joints, chest and abdomen, helping us investigate a range of conditions and make better-informed decisions about their care.
Whether your pet has had an injury or isn’t feeling their best, X-rays help guide their diagnosis and treatment.
Clearer images, better-informed decisions
X-rays let us see inside your pet’s body, so we can understand what may be causing their symptoms and plan the right next steps.
Digital X-rays help us investigate:
- Bones and joints, for fractures, dislocations and arthritis
- The chest, for heart and lung abnormalities
- The abdomen, for foreign objects, bladder stones and organ changes
- Abnormal growths and other findings that need investigation
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Every pet deserves
to be treated as an individual.
Compassion first
We want every visit to feel calm, respectful and comfortable for your pet.
Care that's considered
We look beyond the immediate problem to understand your pet's overall health.
Clear communication
We keep you informed and explain your options in straightforward language.
Here for the long term
We're here to support your pet throughout their changing needs and different stages of life.
What happens during an X-ray?
Your pet will be gently positioned so that we can take clear images. When needed, we may recommend sedation or a general anaesthetic to minimise stress and make sure your pet is positioned accurately, and we’ll talk this through with you beforehand.
Helping us find the answers
Our veterinarians will assess your pet’s X-rays and explain the findings to you. When further expertise is needed, we can send the images to specialist veterinary radiologists for interpretation and a detailed report, helping us reach a more informed diagnosis and choose the right treatment.
