Dental digital x-ray

Pet dental digital X-rays are often performed during dental cleanings and allow our team to see below the gumline of your pet’s mouth. They help diagnose tooth infections, fractures, and periodontal disease.

Digital radiology (Pet X-Rays)

Pet X-rays let us quickly diagnose a wide range of health problems in dogs and cats. With imaging, we can evaluate bones, joints, and internal organs to detect conditions such as fractures, swallowed objects, intestinal blockages, lung disease, and other internal injuries.

On-site testing provides fast test results. Common tests include blood work, urinalysis, and parasite screening, which help detect infections, diseases, and other health problems.

Under veterinary supervision, medical grooming helps pets with severe matting, skin conditions, or anxiety. When necessary, sedation or anesthesia may be necessary to safely remove mats, trim fur, and maintain hygiene.

Microchipping

Microchipping provides permanent identification and increase the chances of being reunited with your pet if they are lost. A tiny microchip is safely inserted under the skin and contains a unique ID number that veterinarians and animal shelters can scan to identify lost pets and contact their owners.
