Diagnostics & Imaging

On-site X-ray, ultrasound and laboratory testing turn a worrying unknown into a confident diagnosis — usually before you leave the clinic.

Diagnostics & Imaging

Answers During Your Visit, Not Days Later

When a pet is sick or hurt, the hardest part is often not knowing why. Our in-house diagnostic tools let our veterinarians look inside, run bloodwork and test samples while you wait.

Faster answers mean faster treatment, fewer repeat visits and less worry for you. Every result is explained in plain language and shared with your family veterinarian.

Imaging

Digital X-Ray and Ultrasound on Site

Digital X-rays show bones, the chest and the abdomen in seconds, with lower radiation than film. Ultrasound adds a real-time view of organs and fluid without surgery.

Together they help us find fractures, swallowed objects, bladder stones and many other causes of pain or illness.
