Wondering why your dog or cat can’t eat before their MRI? Fasting keeps them safe under anesthesia and ensures crystal-clear images. Get practical tips to make prep easier and know exactly what to do if breakfast slips by mistake.

Imaging drop-off looks different from a traditional vet visit. With check-in, consent forms, and a three-hour window for scans and recovery, the process is designed to keep pets safe, allow medical prioritization, and ensure every patient receives careful attention.

Imaging appointments run differently than traditional vet visits. By grouping patients into morning and afternoon blocks, the team creates space to manage complex cases, adjust for urgent needs, and deliver safe, well-coordinated care for every pet.
