Love dogs?  So do we!  Today is International Dog Day and is recognized worldwide on August 26^th. A day to celebrate all dogs and encourage adoption. Vets frequently use x-rays to examine your pet's bones, internal organs and tissues so they can diagnose issues such as fractures in bones, foreign objects your pet may have swallowed, bladder stones and more. X-rays can help your vet capture two-dimensional images and detect pregnancy, enlarged organs and some tumors.

Z&Z Medical carries a wide array of imaging supplies and accessories to make imaging our favorite pets as easy as possible.  Visit the Veterinary section of our website to learn more!

YES, we love celebrating our furry friends and keeping them healthy and safe. That also means making sure that we have all the necessary supplies and accessories needed to image them when the time occurs.

Sandbags can be used to pull limbs forward, backward, away from the area of interest and to stabilize the patient. Ideally, they will be made of an easy clean material. Our sandsocks are filled to about two-thirds full to keep them flexible and are offered in a variety of various lengths for any imaging procedure.   

Foam shapes are used to support areas and avoid limb/joint rotation. It is useful to have a variety of shapes and sizes including a mini set to use on cats and small dogs.   Wrapping in cling film is recommended as an infection control measure for those non coated positioners. Z&Z Medical also carries an array of closed cell foam positioners that are waterproof and are easily cleaned if they come in contact with blood, urine, or feces.

Veterinary Immobilizer cradles can used to support the main body of the animal in conjunction with sandbags, e.g. ventrodorsal (VD) extended view of the hips/pelvis.   

Z&Z Medical also carries a full line of left/right (L/R) markers that are used to identify which side/limb is being radiographed or which projection is being used.  Whatever Veterinary Accessory you need, Z&Z Medical is your one stop shop.  Start shopping today!

Each year on April 10th, National Farm Animals Day focuses attention on the humane care of farm animals. The day also aims to find homes for abandoned and abused farm animals. Most farmers raise their livestock responsibly. Providing a quality environment for them to grow benefits not only the animal but the farmer, too. Farmers invest in their livestock from the time they’re born, providing nutritious food, and ensuring robust and healthy development. They also provide ideal conditions for their breed. Farmers are continually educating themselves about the livestock they raise so they can provide them with the best care possible. This often includes the use of X-rays to detect diseases and problems. Discover how farmers care for farm animals and where our food comes from. Visit a farm and find out about the animals that live there. What kinds of food do they eat? Where do they sleep? Learn the difference between raising farm animals, abuse, and neglect.
