When your dog isn’t quite themselves, diagnostic imaging like X-rays can help us quickly understand what’s going on.
At Epsom Avenue Veterinary Clinic, we provide high-quality digital X-rays for dogs, allowing us to accurately diagnose injuries, illness, and internal conditions with minimal delay.
We know dogs can be anxious or uncomfortable when in pain, so we focus on keeping the process calm, controlled, and as stress-free as possible.
X-rays (also known as radiography) use a small amount of electromagnetic radiation to create detailed images of your dog’s internal structures.

It’s one of the most effective tools we have to diagnose issues when your dog can’t tell us what’s wrong.

X-rays are also often used before and after surgery to assess healing and monitor progress.
To ensure we capture clear, accurate images while keeping your dog as comfortable as possible, mild sedation or anaesthesia may sometimes be required. This allows us to position your dog safely, minimise movement, and avoid the need for repeat imaging. Throughout the entire process, our experienced veterinary team carefully monitors your dog to ensure their safety and wellbeing at all times.
Our digital radiography system produces high-quality images within seconds, allowing us to assess results immediately and explain our findings clearly. From there, we can create a tailored treatment plan without unnecessary delays, so you know exactly what’s going on and what happens next. Your dog’s comfort, recovery, and ongoing care are always our priority.
At Epsom Avenue Veterinary Clinic, we are able to perform a range of in-house ultrasound examinations to help investigate and diagnose many medical conditions quickly and effectively.
Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows our veterinarians to assess internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen, gastrointestinal tract and reproductive system in real time. It can also be used to assist with pregnancy diagnosis and monitoring.
For more complex cases requiring advanced imaging and specialist interpretation, we work closely with experienced veterinary ultrasonographers Dr Christina Leslie and Dr Rebecca Lonsdale. Their expertise allows us to provide detailed abdominal, cardiac and advanced ultrasound examinations, ensuring your pet receives the highest standard of diagnostic care without the need to travel to a specialist hospital in many cases.
Our team will discuss whether an ultrasound is recommended for your pet and guide you through the process, including any preparation that may be required prior to the appointment.
