PennHIP Radiographs

PennHIP Radiographs in Trinity Beach

Accurate Early Detection

At Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital, we provide professional PennHIP radiographs for dogs.


PennHIP is a specialised radiographic technique used to assess hip joint laxity in dogs. This information helps predict the likelihood of canine hip dysplasia (CHD) and painful osteoarthritis (OA) in the future, offering more detailed and accurate evaluations than the traditional OFA technique.
