Radiographs in West Reno, NV
Digital X-rays for dogs and cats in Reno — fast, precise, and performed in a calm, compassionate environment.
What Can Veterinary X-Rays Show?
When your pet isn’t feeling well — or you just want to rule something out — clear imaging can make all the difference. At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, our advanced digital radiography for pets helps us visualize what’s happening inside your pet’s body with exceptional detail and accuracy.
From routine screenings to urgent evaluations, our pet X-rays provide the insight we need to diagnose and treat conditions quickly and effectively — all in the comfort of our state-of-the-art hospital.
Radiographs are a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to assess:
- Bones and joints (fractures, arthritis, hip dysplasia)
- Chest/lungs (heart size, pneumonia, tumors)
- Abdomen (blockages, foreign objects, organ enlargement)
- Teeth and jaw (via full-mouth dental radiographs)
Our on-site pet radiographs deliver real-time results so we can identify concerns and develop a treatment plan without delay.
Our Radiology Services at a Glance:
- Dog and cat X-rays performed in-house
- Digital imaging for high-resolution results

Why Digital Radiography Matters
Unlike traditional film, digital radiographs allow us to:
- Zoom, enhance, and manipulate images for greater accuracy
- Share images with specialists or referral partners instantly
- Reduce radiation exposure and environmental waste
- Get faster results — sometimes while you wait
This modern technology supports our commitment to delivering veterinary imaging services that are not only efficient, but exceptionally thorough.
Designed with Your Pet in Mind
At Monte Vista, we understand that X-rays can be stressful for pets and owners alike.
That’s why we prioritize:
- Calm handling techniques to reduce anxiety
- A quiet, controlled imaging suite
- Communication throughout the process, so you know what’s happening
- Honest, compassionate follow-up and guidance
Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable and informative as possible — because you deserve to feel supported, not overwhelmed.
When Might X-Rays Be Recommended?
We may suggest radiographs when your pet:
- Is limping or experiencing pain
- Has trouble breathing or coughing
- Is vomiting or not eating
- Swallowed something they shouldn’t have
- Needs pre-anesthetic screening for surgery or dental care
- Is undergoing chronic disease monitoring (like heart or joint conditions)
X-rays often work hand-in-hand with other diagnostics, giving us a more complete picture of your pet’s health.
