When X-rays aren’t enough, our state-of-the-art ultrasound technology provides a live, moving window into your pet’s body, revealing soft tissue details that other imaging simply can’t show
Imagine being able to watch your pet’s heart beating, see blood flowing through vessels, or observe organs functioning in real-time. That’s the power of veterinary ultrasound—a completely safe, non-invasive technology that uses sound waves to create live video of your pet’s internal organs.
No radiation. No pain. No sedation needed for most pets. Just incredible insights that lead to faster, more accurate diagnoses.
Ultrasound shows us what X-rays can’t. Here’s when we reach for it and what to expect at your pet’s scan.
While X-rays excel at showing bones and detecting foreign objects, ultrasound reveals what X-rays cannot:
Abdominal Crisis:
Breathing Problems:
Mysterious Symptoms:
Cancer Screening & Monitoring:
Senior Pet Care:
Breeding & Pregnancy:
Our high-resolution ultrasound equipment features:
Liver Disease:
Kidney & Bladder Issues:
Gastrointestinal Problems:
Reproductive Health:
Heart Disease Evaluation:
Note: While we perform basic cardiac ultrasounds, complex cases may be referred to our visiting cardiologist for echocardiography.
| Condition | Best Diagnostic Tool | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Broken bone | X-ray | Shows bone detail |
| Heart murmur | Ultrasound | Visualizes heart function |
| Swallowed toy | X-ray first, then ultrasound | X-ray locates, ultrasound confirms |
| Liver disease | Ultrasound | Shows organ texture/structure |
| Pregnancy | Ultrasound | Counts puppies, checks viability |
| Bladder stones | Both | X-ray detects stones, ultrasound shows inflammation |

Because when your pet can’t tell you what’s wrong, our digital X-rays can.

Most pets (about 90%) do not require sedation. The procedure is painless and many pets find it relaxing. We only recommend sedation for extremely anxious pets or when we need very still images.
Most ultrasounds take 20-30 minutes. Emergency FAST scans can be done in 5 minutes, while detailed cardiac studies may take up to 45 minutes.
Fur traps air, which blocks sound waves. A small shaved area ensures clear images. Don’t worry—fur typically grows back within 6-8 weeks!
Absolutely! Most pets are calmer with their owners present. We encourage you to comfort your pet and watch the screen with us.
We discuss preliminary findings immediately after the scan. A detailed report is typically available within hours, or next business day for complex cases requiring specialist review.
