X-rays allow veterinarians to view the internal structures of your pet’s body. Using low doses of radiation, X-rays produce detailed images of bones, joints, and soft tissues. They are commonly used to detect fractures, tumors, foreign objects, dental issues, and abnormalities in organs. At Affordable Animal Hospital Orange, we use digital X-rays to ensure fast, accurate results with minimal stress for your pet. This technology enables us to diagnose conditions early and plan appropriate treatments to support your pet’s health.

Yes, veterinary X-rays are very safe for pets. At Affordable Animal Hospital Orange, we use low-dose digital X-rays, which minimize radiation exposure while still producing high-quality images. Your pet is exposed to only a small amount of radiation, far less than older X-ray systems. If multiple X-rays are needed, we take additional precautions to ensure your pet’s safety.

For safety reasons, you may be asked to wait outside the X-ray room during the procedure. This is to protect you from unnecessary exposure to radiation. Rest assured, our experienced staff will be with your pet at all times to keep them calm and comfortable.
