Pet X-Rays in Boynton Beach, FL, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Boynton Beach is a veterinary clinic in Boynton Beach, FL, that takes digital X-rays of dogs and cats on site. X-rays show bones, joints, the lungs and heart outline, and many swallowed objects, so the vet can find the cause of limping, coughing or vomiting without sending you somewhere else.

Digital images are ready in minutes, and the vet can show them to you on a screen in the exam room.

Call (561) 200-1214, book online or walk in.

When does a pet need X-rays?

The vet may suggest X-rays when your pet has:

• A limp that doesn't go away, or pain in a leg, hip or back

• A cough or harder breathing, to look at the lungs and heart size

• Vomiting that could be from a swallowed toy, bone or sock

• A swollen belly, or a lump the vet wants to see inside

• Bladder stones, which often show on an X-ray

• A fall or a hit by a car, to check for broken bones

Across Petfolk, 1 in 5 visits for a pet that may have eaten something toxic or strange includes X-rays to look for swallowed objects (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026).

Does my pet need to be sedated for X-rays?

Many pets lie still with gentle holds and a calm room. Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic, so the team uses treats, soft mats and quiet voices first. A pet in pain, or one who can't hold still for a clear image, may need light sedation. The vet will explain why and include it in the estimate before going ahead.

Who reads my pet's X-rays?

Your vet looks at the images right away and talks you through what they see. Across Petfolk, more than three-quarters of X-ray studies (78%) also get a specialist radiologist's review, and about a quarter of those reviews are rushed for a fast read (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026). If a specialist reviews your pet's images, the team will call you with the report.

Transparent pricing, onsite radiology, immediate care, excellent customer service.

Limping after the dog park

Off-leash play at Officer Joseph Crowder Dog Park, Mangrove Dog Park or Jaycee Park is great exercise, and sudden sprints and turns are also how knees and toes get hurt. A dog who won't put weight on a leg, or still limps after a day of rest, should be seen. X-rays can show a broken bone, joint changes or signs of a knee injury, and the vet uses the exam to tell what the image can't, like a torn ligament.

Write down when the limp started and what your pet was doing. That helps the vet decide which views to take.

What do X-rays cost?

The cost depends on how many views your pet needs and whether sedation is used. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit. Petfolk Boynton Beach takes major credit cards, Apple Pay and CareCredit financing.

Safety and pregnancy

X-rays are safe for most pets. The dose from a few digital images is low, and the team wears protection because they take X-rays all day. X-rays are not usually taken on pregnant pets early in pregnancy unless needed, so tell the team if your pet could be pregnant.

When a limp or cough is urgent

If your pet can't stand, has a swollen, hard belly with retching, or struggles to breathe, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital, such as Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) on North Congress Avenue. For a limp, a cough or one round of vomiting, call Petfolk Boynton Beach for a same-day visit.
