Now through September 30, Natural Awakenings readers can receive a $25 discount on initial Wellness Examinations for pets at Progressive Animal Hospital in Somers. In addition to providing all veterinary services, the hospital incorporates holistic therapies into pet care when appropriate. Methods include traditional Chinese herbs and acupuncture, which is commonly used to rebalance an animal’s energy system for optimum healing and health.    

 Dr. Andrew Frishman, founder of Progressive Animal Hospital, uses blood samples to diagnose and evaluate animal allergies. He also employs hyposensitization, consisting of a series of allergy shots, to safely build tolerance to offending allergens. Genetic testing is also performed to detect, prevent and treat diseases and chronic conditions. “We often treat chronic conditions with a combination of western and eastern therapies,” says Frishman. “The most common of these conditions are arthritis, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, incontinence, urinary tract infections and asthma.”     

Progressive Animal Hospital offers convenient hours, drop-off appointments and house calls, and such specialty services as dentistry, ultrasound evaluation, endoscopy, echo cardiology and orthopedic surgery.

Progressive Animal Hospital is located at 149 Route 202 (at the intersection with Lovell St.) in Somers. For more information call 914.248.6220 or visit Progressive-Vet.com.
