Primary Care

Radiology

At VCA Peone Pines Animal Hospital, we provide advanced digital radiology to ensure accurate, timely diagnostics for your pet. Whether identifying injuries, evaluating internal concerns, or monitoring ongoing conditions, our Fear Free Certified team prioritizes a safe, stress-free experience for every patient.


Hands-Free, Fear Free Radiology for Your Pet’s Safety

We are committed to minimizing stress and maximizing safety during radiographic procedures. Our hands-free radiology techniques allow us to capture clear images while ensuring the comfort of both pets and staff. To achieve this, we use:

  • Soft padding on the X-ray for extra comfort
  • Happy Hoodies to muffle sounds and reduce anxiety
  • Padded foam troughs to help pets feel secure
  • Weighted sandbags for gentle positioning

Positioning for radiographs can feel weird to some pets especially when pets are painful. We can send home oral medications prior to planned radiographs that can make your babies feel more relaxed. In some cases, mild sedation may be recommended to keep your pet relaxed and ensure high-quality images for diagnosis.  


Routine Radiographs for Senior Pets

For pets over 7 years of age, routine radiographs can help detect potential health issues early, before they become serious. Our Senior CareClub® wellness plans include thoracic and abdominal (full-body) radiographs, allowing for proactive monitoring of heart, lung, and organ health. If your pet is already enrolled in CareClub®, radiographs can be added to their plan for comprehensive senior wellness care.  


Board-Certified Radiology Interpretation

To ensure the most accurate diagnosis, all radiographs are reviewed first by your attending veterinarian and sent to board-certified radiology specialists for a detailed written interpretation. This expert assessment helps guide the best treatment plan for your pet.
