Imaging Services

Accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective treatment. At Whisker & Woof, we have invested in a state-of-the-art imaging suite that allows us to visualise your pet’s internal structures quickly, safely, and with exceptional detail — helping us to make confident, timely decisions about their care.

Digital Radiography (X-Rays)

Our digital radiography system provides high-resolution X-ray images within seconds, meaning:

  • Your pet spends less time under sedation or anaesthesia, reducing risk

  • We can review images instantly and make rapid decisions about treatment

  • Images can be shared digitally with referral specialists if a second opinion is needed

X-rays are invaluable for diagnosing conditions affecting the bones, joints, chest, and abdomen, including fractures, heart and lung disease, gastrointestinal problems, and urinary tract stones.

Dental X-Rays

Veterinary dentistry has advanced significantly in the last decade, and dental X-rays are now considered the gold standard of care. Many painful dental problems occur below the gumline, where they cannot be seen on visual examination alone — particularly in cats, who are prone to feline resorptive lesions.

Our dedicated dental X-ray system allows us to:

  • Detect hidden disease affecting the roots of teeth

  • Plan and perform safer, more precise dental extractions

  • Prevent unnecessary extractions where teeth are healthy below the gumline

  • Deliver a higher standard of dental care for your pet

Ultrasound Imaging

Our imaging suite also includes a top-tier ultrasound machine, meeting the standard required for referral-level cardiology. High-quality ultrasound produces clearer, more detailed images, allowing for:

  • Assessment of the heart (echocardiography)

  • Evaluation of abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, intestines)

  • Guided sampling procedures, such as fine-needle aspirates or biopsies

Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive technique that provides real-time images — an invaluable tool for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.

Why Our Investment Matters

At Whisker & Woof, we believe your pet deserves the very best. That’s why we have:

  • Cutting-edge equipment to produce the highest-quality diagnostic images

  • Experienced, passionate staff who are trained to interpret findings accurately

  • A commitment to minimising stress and risk by keeping procedures as quick and comfortable as possible

Our goal is simple: to deliver robust, reliable diagnoses that lead to better treatment plans and better outcomes for your beloved pet.
