Pet Ultrasound

Veterinary pet ultrasound is a non-invasive animal diagnostics tool that allows vets to examine internal organs and soft tissues in dogs and cats. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images, helping vets diagnose a wide range of conditions.

The vet scan results are usually available right after the pet ultrasound, if tissue samples are taken, they may need to be sent to a specialised lab if our in-house lab isn't able to perform the tests. Your vet will discuss what they’ve been able to diagnose from the pet ultrasound with you and explain any treatment or surgical options.
