Methods A survey was conducted on the use of X-ray diagnostic equipment and radiation health management in 29 pet veterinary institutions in Zaozhuang City, with data collected via a questionnaire. Results The utilization rate of X-ray diagnostic equipment was 65.52%, the evaluation rate of occupational disease hazard control effect was 21.05%, the annual radiation protection detection rate of workplaces was 47.37%, the declaration rate of occupational disease hazard projects was 21.05%, and the compliance rate for provision of personal protective supplies was 36.84%. The occupational health examination rate was 84%, the personal dose monitoring rate was 60%, and the rate of training on radiation protection regulations and knowledge was 48%. Conclusion The deployment and use rate of X-ray diagnostic equipment in pet veterinary institutions in Zaozhuang City is relatively high. The awareness of radiation safety and protection is relatively low for some institutions and personnel, and the occupational disease protection measures are inadequately implemented.
