Are X-Rays Painful or Harmful for My Pet?
No, X-rays are a painless procedure. Depending on the pet, we may not need to even sedate them. However, if your dog or cat has anxiety issues, sedation may be administered to relax the pet enough to remain still.
With the recent developments in digital X-ray technology, X-rays are extremely safe for pets and humans alike. Digital X-rays expose your pet to a small dose of radiation that is considered harmless.
