Make sure that the vet you use is EXPERIENCED in OFA x-raying. If the positioning is a little off, it "could" make the difference of coming back "fair" instead of "good" or "excellent". Sometimes cheaper is not better. My vet charges $ 150.00 + envelope ( you have to submit to OFA yourself) and he's very experienced.
