TETERBORO, NJ – Demonstrating a dedication to progressive healthcare for its animal residents, the Bergen County Board of County Commissioners approved by resolution the acquisition of the state-of-the-art Sedecal USA Vet-Ray Full Body Digital X-Ray System, a digital imaging X-Ray System that will provide advanced medical care to all animals in the County’s care at the Shelter.

The acquisition of this medical device highlights the County's unwavering commitment to advancing medical imaging capabilities at the Bergen County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center.  

Approved on January 17, 2024, this initiative marks a pivotal leap forward to enhance on-site veterinary care at the Bergen County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center.
