Pet Owners

Ultrasound is gentle on your pet and informative for your vet.

Ultrasound is a non-invasive way to gain a tremendous amount of valuable information about what is going on inside your pet. Ultrasound is often used to scan your pet’s abdomen or chest, but can be used to look at any other parts of a pet that we can't see from the outside, like skin lumps and inside the eyes.

Abdominal Ultrasound

An abdominal ultrasound provides a comprehensive look inside the abdomen where all organs are examined, and many disease processes can be diagnosed (and ruled out), which allows your vet to formulate the best treatment plan possible for your pet.

Echocardiogram

Also known as a cardiac ultrasound, echocardiograms allow us to look at the heart and find any structural changes that might explain heart murmurs, abnormal rhythms, or episodes of cough and collapse. Imaging the heart in this way also helps determine if pets are safe to undergo anesthesia.

Ultrasound-Guided Procedures

We use ultrasounds to achieve minimally invasive procedures including, fine needle aspirates, tissue core biopsies, fluid drainage, and foreign body retrieval.
