Ultrasounds are a safe, non-invasive diagnostic imaging tool that allows veterinarians to examine your pet’s internal anatomy.
Note: Veterinary ultrasounds are available in select locations. Your veterinarian may recommend and perform an ultrasound scan during a Sick Exam (for an additional cost).
Based on your location, your veterinarian may be able to provide ultrasound services at home during a physical examination, saving you the time and stress of transporting your pet to a traditional clinic.
A pet ultrasound can help your veterinarian diagnose conditions involving the GI tract and heart, bladder stones, and pregnancy that would otherwise be missed on a routine physical exam.
Our veterinarians are all Fear Free® certified, which means they go above and beyond to minimize stress and anxiety for pets and their parents.
An ultrasound scan is necessary to take a closer look at your pet’s internal organs and can help us detect health issues early so that we can provide the best medical care moving forward.
As with all of our services, our experienced veterinarians will take the time to walk you through the process of your pet’s ultrasound and keep you informed every step of the way.
We take care to make sure your pet’s ultrasound imaging is a stress-free process from start to finish. Some images may require more advanced diagnostic testing or a consultation with a board-certified cardiologist or other veterinary specialist.
Pet ultrasound imaging is usually a pain-free process for your pet, but medication may be prescribed ahead of time to keep them calm during the process. In most cases, your pet’s fur will need to be shaved in the area where the ultrasound examination is to be performed.
Your veterinarian will keep you informed of your pet’s scan results and can address any questions or concerns that you might have. In some cases, a referral to a veterinary specialist may be necessary to interpret the results.
Based on the findings of your pet’s ultrasound scan, your veterinarian will make a treatment plan when necessary, that may include medication, follow-up appointments, or veterinary specialist referrals.
