Mobile Pet Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasonography is a safe, advanced, imaging technique and non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows veterinarians to examine your pet’s internal anatomy. We utilize a type of ultrasound scan called an AFAST (abdominal-focused assessment with sonography for trauma, triage, and tracking). An AFAST exam allows our veterinarians to evaluate a furry patient’s abdomen or chest for the presence of fluid. Our state-of-the-art mobile equipment means that many of our doctors can perform mobile pet ultrasound imaging in the comfort of your home.

Sometimes, diagnostic imaging like a veterinary ultrasound is required to diagnose your pet’s condition and provide the best medical care moving forward.
What is Pet Ultrasound Imaging?
Pet diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasound, can help your veterinary doctor or specialist to diagnose conditions like conditions of the GI tract and heart, bladder stones, and pregnancy that would otherwise be missed on a routine physical exam. An ultrasound machine uses sound waves to create images called sonograms.
Our Process
Based on location, most of our veterinary doctors can provide an AFAST exam. Mobile pet ultrasound imaging services are usually a pain-free process for your pet, but medications may be prescribed ahead of time to keep them calm during the process, and sometimes sedation may be required to keep your pet still and stress-free. Some images may require a consultation with a board-certified cardiologist or other specialist for interpretation.
