How is PennHip performed?

  • It begins by sedating your pet to ensure complete relaxation, thereby allowing for ideal radiographic positioning 
  • 3 radiographic views are performed

Pennhip is an outpatient diagnostic procedure that allows your pet to go home on the same day. Pennhip may be considered with other surgeries
