Why digital beats film every time  

• Immediate retakes reduce anesthesia time for sedated patients.  

• Advanced contrast manipulation uncovers subtle lesions impossible to see on film.

Stress-free for pets & owners  

Most patients stand comfortably on our low-step table; we use sandbags and V-troughs rather than manual restraint whenever possible. For painful injuries or anxious personalities, light sedation ensures crystal-clear results without fear.
