What's involved
Most pets need a sedative or a general anaesthetic to keep still for x-rays, and that is often charged on top of the x-ray price.
Prices usually cover a set number of pictures. Ask whether more views, the sedation and the vet looking over the pictures are included.
Each price is taken from the practice's own website or price list. Prices change, so the practice's own quote is the one that counts.
