We X-ray dogs and cats at both our Dubai clinics. A pet X-ray shows your vet the bones, joints, chest and tummy when an exam alone can't explain what's wrong.
X-rays for dogs and cats at Al Furjan and City Walk. Open daily, 8am–10pm.
You can also book consultations, vaccinations, deworming, neutering, grooming and dental care at either clinic.
An X-ray uses a small, controlled burst of radiation to take a picture of the inside of your dog's or cat's body. Bone shows up white, air black, and soft tissue in shades of grey, which makes X-rays quick and reliable for bones and the chest.
Book a consultationAn X-ray is a flat picture of a 3D body, so vets usually take at least two views. Fabric, plastic and wood may not show up directly, and the inside structure of soft-tissue organs is usually clearer on ultrasound.
An X-ray shows the size, shape and position of organs. An ultrasound shows what's happening inside them. Your vet will recommend one, or both, depending on what gives the clearest answer.
A still image made with a very low dose of radiation. Best for bones, joints, the chest and swallowed objects.
Live images made with sound waves, with no radiation. Best for the inside of abdominal organs, fluid and lumps.
A vet examines your pet and decides which test is needed. If your own vet referred you, bring the referral and any previous images.
Once the vet has reviewed them, the images and report can be shared with you digitally.
If you notice any of these, book a consultation. Your vet will decide whether an X-ray is needed.

Reviews from clients at our Al Furjan and City Walk clinics.
Alia OumeishCat parent · Google review The staff were so friendly, and very kind and caring to my little cat. They did an excellent job and kept both me and Leo comfortable. Would definitely recommend! We dealt with Dr. Chinnu, Dr. Lamiya, Arpita, and Emmanuel, who gave Leo the best haircut he's ever had — all incredibly lovely.
Rena MedawarCat parent · Google review Excellent care and kind staff. The team at PetsFirst City Walk treated my cat with so much compassion and professionalism. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made both me and Bella feel at ease. Highly recommended.
Arbina ShaikhCat parent · Google review I've been going to PetsFirst since they opened in City Walk, and honestly I'm beyond satisfied. They take care of my cats so well — the staff even remember the names of each of my four cats whenever we visit. They don't overcharge, and their prices are so reasonable. Super happy with PetsFirst, 10 out of 10.
Common questions about X-rays for dogs and cats at PetsFirst.
Usually, yes. A vet examines your pet first to decide whether an X-ray is the right test. If your own vet has referred you, bring the referral and we'll take it from there.
Yes. Our vets take X-rays of dogs and cats at both clinics. Dog X-rays and cat X-rays follow the same steps: a consultation first, then the images, then a clear explanation of what they show.
No. X-rays are done at both PetsFirst clinics, Al Furjan and City Walk, and are not available through our mobile clinic. If your pet was seen at home, your vet will arrange the X-ray at either clinic.
Many pets don't. If your pet is anxious, sore, or needs very precise positioning, your vet may recommend sedation to keep them comfortable and still, and will explain this before going ahead.
Diagnostic X-rays use a very low dose of radiation, and our team uses protective equipment and careful technique to keep exposure to a minimum.
Yes. Once the vet has reviewed them, we can share the images and report with you digitally.
Yes. Share the case details and any existing X-rays with us, and we can review them ahead of an orthopedic consultation.
That depends on your policy. We work on a pay-and-claim basis and provide itemised invoices and medical notes to support your claim.
X-rays are done at PetsFirst Al Furjan and City Walk, open every day, 8am to 10pm. Start with a consultation and your vet will advise on the next step.
