Granite VETS Partners with VetOvation to Bring Advanced Veterinary Endoscopy Services to Bedford Pet Owners
Bedford, NH — May 2026 — VetOvation, a veterinary endoscopy equipment provider, announces that Granite VETS, a 24/7 animal hospital serving the greater Bedford area, has adopted the VetOvation Veterinary Endoscopy System platform. Granite VETS can now offer minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in-house — services that previously required referral to a veterinary specialty center.
What Is Veterinary Endoscopy?
Veterinary endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that uses a small, flexible or rigid camera (called an endoscope) inserted through a natural body opening. No large surgical incisions are required for most endoscopic procedures. Veterinary endoscopy allows veterinarians to directly visualize the inside of a pet’s gastrointestinal tract, airways, nasal passages, and ears — and to collect biopsy samples or perform treatments during the same procedure.
Veterinary Endoscopy Procedures Now Available at Granite VETS
Pet owners in Bedford now have local access to the following veterinary endoscopic procedures at Granite VETS:
Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy in dogs and cats — Direct visualization and tissue biopsy of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines for chronic vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and gastrointestinal tumors. GI endoscopy often provides a definitive diagnosis in a single session without surgery.
Endoscopic foreign body retrieval in dogs and cats — Non-surgical removal of swallowed objects such as toys, bones, fabric, socks, and other items from a pet’s stomach or esophagus. Endoscopic foreign body removal eliminates the need for open abdominal surgery in many cases and significantly reduces recovery time.
Rhinoscopy (nasal endoscopy) in dogs and cats — Investigation of chronic nasal discharge, sneezing, nosebleeds, and suspected nasal masses or nasal foreign bodies. Rhinoscopy provides direct visualization and biopsy capability inside the nasal passages.
Bronchoscopy (airway endoscopy) in dogs and cats — Examination of the trachea and bronchi for chronic cough, tracheal collapse, bronchial collapse, and respiratory infections. Bronchoscopy includes bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) sample collection for culture and cytology to guide targeted treatment.
Video otoscopy (ear endoscopy) in dogs and cats — Advanced ear evaluation and deep-ear treatment for chronic ear infections (otitis), ear polyp removal, and myringotomy (tympanic membrane puncture for middle ear sampling). Video otoscopy provides visualization far beyond what a standard handheld otoscope can reveal.
Benefits of Veterinary Endoscopy for Pets
Veterinary endoscopy offers significant advantages over traditional surgical approaches:
- Less pain and tissue trauma compared to traditional exploratory surgery
- Faster recovery — most pets go home the same day after an endoscopic procedure
- More accurate diagnoses — direct visualization and targeted biopsy replace guesswork
- Reduced anesthesia time — shorter procedures mean less time under general anesthesia
- Avoidance of surgery in many foreign body retrieval and diagnostic cases
- No large surgical incisions — endoscopy uses natural body openings

Frequently Asked Questions About Veterinary Endoscopy
What is veterinary endoscopy used for? Veterinary endoscopy is used to diagnose and treat conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, airways, nasal passages, and ears in dogs and cats. Common uses include investigating chronic vomiting or diarrhea, removing swallowed foreign bodies without surgery, diagnosing nasal disease, evaluating chronic cough, and treating deep ear infections.
Is veterinary endoscopy safe for my pet? Veterinary endoscopy is considered a safe, minimally invasive procedure. It requires general anesthesia, but because endoscopic procedures are typically shorter than traditional surgery and do not require large incisions, overall anesthetic and surgical risk is often lower.
How much does veterinary endoscopy cost? The cost of veterinary endoscopy varies depending on the procedure, the patient, and the geographic area. Contact Granite VETS directly for specific pricing. In many cases, endoscopy is comparable in cost to the surgical alternatives and may save money by avoiding more invasive procedures.
Does my pet need a referral for endoscopy? Granite VETS requires a referral for endoscopic procedures. Pet owners can contact the clinic directly to schedule a consultation.
How long is recovery after veterinary endoscopy? Most pets recover quickly after endoscopy. Because there are no large surgical incisions, many patients go home the same day and return to normal activity within 24–48 hours.
