Can any of you recommend a vet that does OFA s in Eastern Ohio or Western PA? I have three dogs that need prelims done. I checked with Northwestern already (in Canal Fulton).

windy ridge german shepherds is in PA, not necessarily western......but maybe they could lead you in the right direction.

I'm dismayed as to why any vet can't do "by the book" OFA x-rays - but havingsaid that - I would do this "backwards" - I would call the OFA and ask them to recommend someone -- they may have an evaluator who also has a practice or knows someone who can take good pics for you.
In the old days - I had the good fortune to be able to talk to Dr. Corley live and in person !!

Thanks. I've just been going down a list of vets, calling around and what not. So annoying. I'll try calling OFA

Good news, Xeph.

Indeed :) I have 3 kids to do and I'll be able to get it all done for under $600. Now all I have to do is start ordering DM kits. Yayyyyyyy,,,,,

Is it a good idea to do "OFA" without sedation ?...

OFA will not give recommendations.

IMO It is NOT a good idea to do hip xrays without sedation. It has been proven time and time again that dogs that have failed when sedated to the point of relaxation - subluxation/shallow sockets - have passed without sedation.
