Digital X-Rays for Your Dog or Cat, Done Right Here in Paterson

When your pet is limping, coughing, or hurting somewhere you can't see, you want answers the same visit. Blue Cross has digital X-ray inside the hospital at 470 McLean Blvd, so imaging happens here, during your appointment.

What an X-Ray Can Show About Your Pet

An X-ray gives the doctor a clear look at what is happening under the skin, without guessing and without waiting. Digital images come up in moments, sharp enough to study closely and easy to keep in your pet's record.

Some of the most common reasons the doctor will recommend one:

  • A limp, a fall, or a suspected broken bone or fracture
  • Something swallowed that should not have been (toys, socks, bones)
  • Coughing or labored breathing that calls for a look at the chest
  • Bladder stones and other urinary trouble
  • Stiffness and arthritis in older dogs and cats
  • Checking on an area before or after a procedure

An X-ray never happens for its own sake. The doctor examines your pet first, explains what the image is for, and you decide together before anything is done.

We Image It Here, and the Team That Knows Your Pet Reads It Here

No referral across town, no waiting days for a report from a facility that has never met your animal.

Same Building, Same Visit

The X-ray unit is inside our Paterson hospital. In most cases your pet is imaged during the appointment, and you talk through what it shows before you leave.

Read Against Your Pet's History

Because the images live in the same record as every past visit, the doctor compares today's picture to what is normal for your animal, and changes stand out.

Explained in Plain Words

You see what the doctor sees. The findings get walked through with you in plain language, so you understand what is going on and what your choices are.

How an X-Ray Visit Works

01

Exam first

The doctor examines your pet and explains why an image would help. Nothing happens without your go-ahead.

Images taken in-house
