Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ECG for pets?
An ECG (electrocardiogram) measures the electrical activity of your pet’s heart to detect irregular rhythms or underlying heart disease.
When does my pet need an X-ray?
X-rays are commonly recommended for injuries, limping, coughing, suspected foreign objects, or to evaluate internal organs.
Is ultrasound safe for pets?
Yes. Ultrasound is a non-invasive and painless imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of internal organs.
