Pet Medical Centre
When your pet is unwell or showing unusual symptoms, you need fast answers and accurate results. At Pet Medical Centre, we offer a full suite of in-house diagnostics to help identify health issues early and provide targeted treatment without delay. As a trusted animal hospital in Dubbo, we’re equipped with advanced medical tools and an experienced veterinary team ready to manage everything from minor illnesses to complex cases.
We provide on-site X-ray imaging to assess injuries, fractures and internal concerns with precision and speed. Our ultrasound equipment is ideal for examining soft tissues and organs, offering a non-invasive way to detect abnormalities. In addition, our in-house pathology lab allows us to analyse blood samples, organ function and more, often delivering same-day results. This reduces stress on pets and speeds up diagnosis so we can begin treatment immediately.
Whether your pet needs a basic health assessment or urgent diagnostic testing, our medical services are designed to deliver clarity and care when you need it most. For a reliable animal hospital in Dubbo, call

X-Ray
At our fully equipped vet hospital in Dubbo, we can take X-rays to examine your pet’s bones and soft tissue structures. This allows us to diagnose conditions that affect the bones such as fractures, osteoarthritis and spinal problems. X-rays are also useful to monitor chest and lung conditions, kidney stones and cancer, and even detect foreign objects in the stomach. With our advanced equipment, we can also take dental X-rays to ensure your furry friend’s teeth are healthy.
At Pet Medical Centre, we take X-rays for pets of all sizes. Our vets will often give your animal a light sedative to help them stay relaxed during the procedure. In some cases, we may need to use a general anaesthetic. For more information, get in touch with our friendly team.
Ultrasound
We have a range of state-of-the-art equipment that allows us to thoroughly examine your pet and efficiently detect health conditions. Our vets use ultrasound to non-invasively check internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, bowel and heart. Ultrasound can also be used to diagnose pregnancy.
Our team may shave a small area on your pet to allow the transducer to gather pictures clearly. Then, a coupling jelly will be applied to your pet’s skin. We may need to sedate your animal if they are unable to stay still for long enough. In most instances we can gather comprehensive information with little to no discomfort for your furry friend.
Pathology
We have a pathology laboratory on-site, allowing our veterinarians to analyse samples from your animal and diagnose specific health conditions. Common laboratory tests include blood tests, urinalysis, faecal tests, and biopsy examination.
Having in-house laboratory facilities also allows us to check your pet’s anaesthetic safety before we commence any surgical procedures. A simple in-house blood test provides information on your pet’s liver and kidney function. This helps us to check if your pet is capable of safely breaking down the anaesthetic drugs.
From checking for infections to diagnosing diabetes, our pathology facilities are critical to providing optimal healthcare for your animals.
What does an animal hospital provide that a general vet may not?
An animal hospital offers a wider range of medical services, including advanced diagnostics, imaging and in-house lab testing. This means faster results and a more efficient treatment process, particularly for serious or complex conditions.
When should I request an X-ray or ultrasound for my pet?
These tools are commonly used when a vet suspects internal issues such as broken bones, organ enlargement or tumours. Your vet will recommend them if they believe further investigation is needed to confirm a diagnosis.
Are blood tests necessary if my pet seems healthy?
Yes. Routine blood tests can uncover early signs of disease that may not yet show symptoms. They’re especially helpful for older pets or before surgery to ensure organs are functioning correctly.
