Dunwoody’s Trusted Vet for Animal X-Rays & Pet Care
Depending on who you ask, the fact that our furry friends can’t speak is either the best or worst thing about them. But when it comes to their health, we all wish they could tell us where it hurts. Thankfully, the veterinarians at My Pet’s Vet have invested in the latest digital imaging technology to find what’s causing them trouble, whether it’s a broken bone, a swallowed object, a dental problem, or anything in between.
If your pet isn’t acting like their usual self, our advanced in-house X-ray services can help. With rapid results and highly accurate images, we’ll be able to develop a targeted treatment plan for whatever ails them. We see all shapes and sizes of pets, from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, hamsters, and more—so contact our trusted team today!
Reasons Your Pet May Need an X-Ray
While some conditions can be diagnosed using bloodwork alone, others require us to take a deeper look. We understand that any situation causing your pet pain is stressful, and we do everything possible to put your—and your pet’s—mind at ease. We may order a digital X-ray to investigate and diagnose:
How X-Rays Give Us a Clear Picture of Your Pet’s Health
We humans expect to get X-rays for conditions like broken bones, but digital imaging can reveal much more than fractures alone. In veterinary medicine, we use X-rays to detect a range of diseases and assess vital organs. This quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure is routine, but we understand that it can be stressful for pets and their families.
When your pet arrives for an X-ray, we may sedate them to make sure they are calm and comfortable. This also helps us complete the process more swiftly and capture the clearest picture possible! In seconds, we’ll have what we need to assess your pet’s health and will review the results with you in-office. If necessary, we can even consult virtually with board-certified radiologists for additional insights, guaranteeing you get the answers you need.
Keeping Pets Safe with Advanced Imaging Technology
We understand that pet owners may have concerns about the safety of any procedure, including X-rays. While any X-ray does involve radiation, we use advanced digital technology and proven techniques to minimize the exposure time and risk to your pet. We may use light sedation to make sure your pet can be positioned properly, meaning we can take fewer images while still capturing the depth of diagnostic information we need. With lower radiation levels and crystal-clear images made in seconds, digital X-ray technology allows us to diagnose, treat, and return your animal friends to safety and comfort as quickly as possible!
Your Pet X-Ray Questions Answered
X-rays are a common procedure and are generally affordable. Costs are determined by the size of the animal, the part of the body we’re assessing, the number of images we need to capture, and whether or not your pet requires sedation.
At My Pet’s Vet, we’re committed to providing transparent, upfront costs so you’re never in the dark about the final bill. We’ll talk you through all costs before the procedure begins so you can make your decision confidently!
Many pet insurance plans cover X-rays, but this is not guaranteed. It’s important to review your pet’s insurance policy thoroughly so you’ll understand your out-of-pocket costs before you arrive. At My Pet’s Vet, we offer a variety of wellness plans that cover diagnostic testing!
