Pet Ultrasound
Need clear insights into your pet’s condition? Boxford Animal Hospital offers pet ultrasound services, providing a non-invasive way to diagnose your pet’s health concerns.
What Is a Pet Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is a safe, noninvasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your pet’s internal organs. Unlike X-rays, ultrasounds allow us to examine soft tissues like the heart, liver, kidneys, and bladder in real-time. This painless method does not require radiation, making it a trusted diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Ultrasound
During an ultrasound appointment, your pet will be placed comfortably on an exam table while a small handheld device is moved across its body. Depending on the examined area, some fur may need to be shaved to improve image clarity. Most pets remain calm throughout the procedure, and sedation is rarely required.
Our veterinary team promptly reviews the ultrasound results. We discuss the findings with you and recommend appropriate next steps to support your pet’s health.
