Powhatan Animal Hospital is committed to utilizing the latest technology to provide the best possible care for your pets. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions quickly and accurately.

Digital Radiography: Enhanced Imaging for Accurate Diagnoses

Digital radiography provides high-quality images of your pet’s bones, organs, and other internal structures.

Ultrasound: Non-Invasive Imaging for Internal Evaluation

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of your pet’s internal organs. This non-invasive imaging technique allows our veterinarians to evaluate the structure and function of organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and spleen. Ultrasound is particularly useful for diagnosing heart conditions, abdominal masses, and other internal problems.

In-House Laboratory: Rapid Results for Timely Treatment

Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests quickly and accurately.
