Plenty of places near Totowa can give your dog a vaccine. A full animal hospital does more than that. At Blue Cross, the shot happens inside a real exam, by a team that keeps your pet's whole history on one record, with digital X-ray and ultrasound down the hall if the exam turns something up. When you come back next year, the same practice remembers what was normal for your animal and what was worth watching.
The practice is owner-run. Dr. Sova owns it and carries on the Paterson practice his family opened in 1942, three generations of veterinarians in one practice. There is no corporate parent and no quota behind what gets recommended, and Totowa families have been part of this hospital's story for a long time.
From Union Blvd, the drive to 470 McLean Blvd is short and familiar, straight across the river.
All of it under one roof at 470 McLean Blvd.
For Totowa families, the short drive across the river ends at a practice that handles all of it. A wellness exam and vaccination visit is a real exam with every vaccine, tracked on one record year over year, so changes get caught against what is normal for your pet.
If the exam turns something up, digital X-ray is down the hall: a limp, a cough, or a swallowed something gets a look inside here, the same visit. Ultrasound is done at the practice as well, so soft-tissue answers come without a referral across the county.
