What Are
Pet X-Rays?

Pet X-rays, also called radiographs, are images that show the inside of your pet’s body. They let our veterinarians see bones, joints, the chest, and the abdomen. This helps us assess areas we cannot examine from the outside.

Radiography is a safe, painless, and common diagnostic tool for dogs and cats. It gives us valuable information in minutes, often during a single visit. Our veterinary team uses imaging alongside other tests to build a clear picture of your pet’s health.

What Digital Radiography Involves

Our hospital uses digital radiography, which produces images quickly and clearly. Faster imaging means less time on the table for your pet and quicker answers for you. Digital images also give us tools that film cannot.

Digital pet imaging allows us to:

Capture images within minutes during your visit
Adjust each image for size and contrast for a closer look
Store and compare radiographs over time

Email images directly to referral centers when needed
Share images with an outside radiologist for a second opinion

Most X-rays are taken while your pet lies still on a padded table. Many pets tolerate this well with gentle handling. When a clearer image or a comfortable position calls for it, we may recommend light sedation or pet anesthesia, and we will always discuss this with you first.

For certain concerns, we also offer ultrasound for brief abdominal scans and pregnancy diagnosis. When imaging points to a more complex issue, we can coordinate follow-up care or a referral.

Why Pet
Imaging Matters

X-rays reveal problems that might otherwise go unseen. For pets that hide discomfort, imaging can be the fastest way to find an answer.

Radiographs help identify fractures, joint changes, and bone concerns.
Chest images can show the heart and lungs.
Abdominal images help evaluate organs and detect some foreign objects.

Imaging supports faster, more confident treatment decisions.
Digital results can be shared quickly with specialists when needed.

Without imaging, some conditions are difficult to diagnose accurately. X-rays give our veterinarians the detail they need to guide the next step in your pet’s care.

On-Site Imaging With a Trusted Team

At Bethel Mill Animal Hospital, digital radiography lets us gather answers during your visit rather than sending you elsewhere. We are an AAHA-accredited hospital and a Cat Friendly Practice, and our Fear Free certified team members use gentle handling to keep imaging low-stress.

Imaging works hand in hand with our other services, including pet laboratory testing and routine pet wellness exams. When a case calls for outside expertise, we can send images to a radiologist for interpretation. This blend of on-site imaging and specialist support helps us care for each patient accurately.

Pet X-Ray FAQs

Are X-rays safe for my pet?

Yes. X-rays use very low levels of radiation and are considered safe for routine use. The benefit of an accurate diagnosis far outweighs the minimal exposure.

Will my pet need sedation for an X-ray?

Often, no. Many pets stay still with gentle handling. For clearer images or certain positions, we may suggest light sedation, and we will talk it through with you first.

How long does it take to get results?

Digital images are ready within minutes. Our veterinarians can review them during your visit, so you often get answers the same day.

What can X-rays help diagnose?

Radiographs can reveal fractures, arthritis, some foreign objects, and changes in the heart, lungs, or abdominal organs. They are useful for many different concerns.

Do you offer other imaging besides X-rays?

Yes. We provide ultrasound for brief abdominal scans and pregnancy diagnosis. When needed, we can also refer your pet for advanced imaging.
