About This Service
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet's internal organs. It's especially useful for evaluating the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and gastrointestinal tract. Ultrasound is non-invasive, painless, and doesn't require radiation, making it a safe diagnostic option.
