Thermal Imaging
Finally, a way to more safely and effectively assess your doggo.
​
Thermal Imaging is a tool that accurately pinpoints inflammation or increased circulation in your dog. In other words, this innovative tool allows us to give a voice to your pet, so we know where your dog is experiencing pain and how to address it safely and gently.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Infrared thermography measures heat at the body’s skin surface, which is directly correlated to circulation in the skin. A "hot spot" indicates inflammation or increased circulation and a "cold spot" is a reduction in blood supply. Pets who have inflammation or pain will have increased heat in those affected areas.
NOTE: This is not meant to replace radiographs or other imaging tools, but rather complements them.
