While our Cleveland veterinarians begin with a physical exam to diagnose how your pet is doing, we also have a variety of advanced veterinary diagnostic tools to enhance our doctors’ senses (at least 4 of the 5 as they don’t typically taste anything). Our Digital Thermal Camera is the first (and only one) available to Cleveland, small animal veterinarians.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools helps us to determine the problem with your pet as quickly, and inexpensively, as possible so we can heal your pet when sick or injured fast. These tools can also help identify issues before they become major problems.

While we have seen thousands of x-rays, we are one of only a few small animal veterinary hospitals in Cleveland that uses Vet-Rad, a board-certified radiology specialty practice to provide us reading results. Typically, we’ll have results within 4 hours of submitting an x-ray to Vet-Rad. Click here to see a sample Vet-Rad report

Our practice management software also allows us to trend lab results to help us see progress over time. Click here to see a sample dog lab report.

We’ve teamed up with Imaging4Pets to provide high-end ultrasounds, both for the abdomen and the heart, at a relatively low price. The “Ultrasound” is read by a board-certified radiologist or cardiologist who provides us results typically in 4 hours or less.
