Advanced Pet Imaging in North Wales: Why Our Prestatyn CT Scanner is a Game-Changer

February 8, 2026

Whether your furry friend is a bouncy puppy or a senior cat, their health is your top priority. When they aren’t feeling their best, getting a fast and accurate diagnosis is essential for peace of mind.

At AllPets Veterinary Surgery, we are proud to offer one of the most advanced diagnostic tools in North Wales: our in-house 64-slice CT scanner. Located at our purpose-built imaging suite in Prestatyn, we provide high-level care for pets across Prestatyn, Rhyl, and the surrounding areas.

Here is everything you need to know about how our CT service can help your pet.


What is a CT Scan and Why Does My Pet Need One?

CT scanner control deskA CT (Computed Tomography) scan is essentially a highly advanced 3D X-ray. While a standard X-ray gives us a 2D “flat” image, a CT scan takes thousands of pictures to create a detailed 3D map of your pet’s internal organs, bones, and blood vessels.

Our top-of-the-range 64-slice scanner is significantly faster and more detailed than standard scanners. This means:

  • Speed: Scans take mere seconds, reducing the time your pet needs to be under sedation or anaesthesia.

  • Detail: We can see tiny abnormalities that would be invisible on a normal X-ray or ultrasound.

  • Accuracy: It is the “gold standard” for investigating complex issues like joint problems, breathing difficulties, or internal lumps.

Same-Day Diagnostics & Outpatient Service

We know that waiting for results is the hardest part of being a pet owner. That’s why we offer same-day CT scans. In many cases, we can see your pet and perform the scan all in one visit, getting them back home to their own bed as quickly as possible.

Not a regular client of AllPets? Not a problem. We offer a dedicated outpatient service. This means your usual vet can refer you to us just for the scan. We will perform the procedure, and the results will be sent back to your local vet to continue your pet’s treatment.
