our Story
Mobile Pet Imaging was founded in 2014, with a goal to bring the latest technology in robotic high-definition CT Scans and fluoroscopies to veterinary offices, veterinary hospitals, veterinary specialists, and zoos.
what is Mobile pet imaging?
Advanced imaging should never be limited by location. Mobile Pet Imaging exists to bring cutting-edge CT and fluoroscopy technology directly to veterinary practices and pet families, delivering accurate diagnostics in a setting that prioritizes safety, comfort, and clinical excellence.
The future of veterinary imaging is mobile, collaborative, and stress-free. By combining board-certified expertise with state-of-the-art technology, high-quality diagnostics can be accessible wherever patients need care—supporting veterinarians with clearer answers and helping pets receive timely, informed treatment.
Every scan is guided by experience, precision, and respect for the patient. Services are performed in a custom-built mobile unit designed for safety and calm, supported by specialists in internal medicine, radiology, and anesthesia. Close collaboration with referring veterinarians ensures seamless integration into each pet’s care plan.
