CT scan

A CT scan for pets is an advanced imaging technique that provides highly detailed images of your pet’s body. Our state of the art CT scanners for pets help our veterinary team diagnose complex conditions quickly and accurately by producing high-resolution images of your pets bones, organs, and soft tissues.

CT scans for pets can help our veterinary team diagnose a wide range of conditions, including bone abnormalities, tumours, injuries, and internal organ issues. They are particularly useful for complex cases where a more detailed view of your pet might be needed.

CT and MRI scans both offer detailed diagnostic imaging, but they work differently. CT scans are particularly effective for examining the bones and certain internal structures of your pet. MRI scans, however, are often better suited for soft tissue and neurological assessments. In some cases, your vet may recommend both to build a complete picture of your pet’s health and decide on the best course of treatment.

The cost of a pet CT scan in the UK can vary depending on your pet’s species, the area being scanned, and the complexity of the procedure. Your vet will discuss the recommended imaging, explain the expected costs, and outline how the results will support your pet’s treatment plan. We aim to be transparent, so you feel fully informed every step of the way.

A CT scan itself is a quick procedure, although the overall appointment time may be longer to allow for preparation, sedation or general anaesthesia, and recovery. Our experienced veterinary team will guide you through each stage of the process with your pet’s comfort and safety as our top priority.
