Pet X-Rays
Quick, Safe Diagnosis for Your Pet’s Health
When your pet is sick or injured, getting an accurate diagnosis quickly is crucial. At MyVet, we use state-of-the-art digital radiography (x-rays)
to safely capture clinical images of your pet’s body for clear insight into their condition without anesthesia.
Precise Imaging and Diagnosis With Digital Pet X-Rays
If your pet is showing signs of pain, discomfort, or illness, they may need an X-ray to find out what’s wrong. An X-ray is a quick and safe procedure that uses a small amount of radiation to create an image of your pet’s internal structures. It can help detect various conditions, such as:
- Fractures and injuries
- Arthritis and joint problems
- Foreign bodies and obstructions
- And more
The Benefits of Digital X-Rays
MyVet’s digital X-ray capabilities mean your pet will receive the best in radiological care. Digital X-rays are faster and safer than traditional film X-rays, producing cleaner, sharper images that are easy to share electronically.
Other direct benefits to your pet include:
- Fast, Accurate Diagnoses: The ability to quickly capture and enhance digital X-ray images allows us to efficiently make an accurate diagnosis for your pet. We can immediately identify the issue so we can start the right treatment without delay.
- A Quick, Non-Invasive Procedure: The x-ray process is safe for your pet and does not require anesthesia. We gently position your pet to get the necessary views, and most pets require only a few moments of imaging time to collect complete diagnostic images.

X-Ray FAQs
Why would my pet need X-rays?
X-rays help veterinarians diagnose medical conditions that may not be visible during a physical exam. Your pet may need X-rays if they are limping, coughing, vomiting, having difficulty breathing, or showing signs of pain or injury. Digital radiographs can be used to identify fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, and other internal concerns quickly.
Will my pet need sedation for X-rays?
Most pets do not need sedation for routine X-rays. Digital X-rays are quick, and many pets can remain comfortable with gentle positioning during the imaging process. However, sedation may occasionally be recommended if a pet is anxious, painful, or unable to stay still long enough to capture clear diagnostic images safely.
Are X-rays safe for dogs and cats?
Yes, digital X-rays are considered very safe for pets. Modern digital radiography uses a very small amount of radiation and enables veterinarians to obtain high-quality images quickly. Our team at MyVet takes every precaution to keep your pet safe throughout the procedure.
