Ultrasound

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create an image in real time, allowing us to view and measure organ abnormalities, blood flow, and heartbeats. Our ultrasounds are performed in-house and interpreted by a board certified radiologist.

Dogs and cats often do their best to conceal their illnesses, which can make it difficult to detect and diagnose them with the naked eye. This makes use of state-of-the-art technology an important aspect of your pet’s overall preventive and wellness care.

Through the use of non-invasive technology, our animal care team of veterinarians is able to offer safe and painless assessment and diagnosis for a number of pet health-related issues, including:

  • Bladder stones
  • Kidney and urinary problems
