Just had our first wellness visit today with Dr Kate Hallquest for our two kitties Charlie and Sabrina. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From front to back this staff is friendly, warm and caring. Dr Hallquest was thorough and gentle with her exam and you can tell she really loves animals. Her assistant was also super sweet with my kitties. Its nice to know I've found a place to bring my furbabies that will care for them like they were there own while not banging you over the head with pricing. Thank you Somers Animal Hospital!

"Inherited" Somers Animal Hospital with my rescue dog, a 50lb Dutch shepherd mix, a bit energetic (and sometimes nervous digestion), but the sweetest, and "adopted" the hospital for my 14-year-old rescue cat. In Dr. Shireen Blum, I found a true cat whisperer. This past week, she saw acute internal.inflammation and brought him back from dehydration over tests and exams on Monday, followed by three days of IV fluids. This weekend, he started drinking on his own (with a fountain), loves all the wet food I serve him, groomed his face for the first time in a while, and took a long nap in the sun. Still recovering, but on the mend. Mind you I sent an e-mail to the hospital at 4:00am this past Monday and was in with the Dr. at 9:10am. Lucy at the front desk answered my e-mail at 6:00am and got me in right away. I think it's the best place for your pets in the area.

By Francine Hirsch - Somers Animal Hospital is the only hospital where I will take my dogs. From the amazing receptionists at the front desk to all the technicians performing so many difficult tasks and giving you so much support, taking time to explain everything to you. Of course to all the wonderful doctors who are always there for you. I cannot say enough about this hospital and would always recommend them.

Was pleased with the time the doctor took to explain x-rays to me, as well as watching my dog walk, and move to form his prognosis

Dr. Hallquest was thorough and caring. She was able to diagnose and treat our 15 year old dachshund who is now doing very well!

We met with Doctor Blum for our 246 pound English Mastiff. We have had 4 over 20 years. Dr Blum was the friendliest and most professional vet I have met. Not only did she do a great job with Sammy she loved him to death and couldn’t stop hugging and kissing him. She made me feel very comfortable and confident. I would highly recommend seeing Dr Blum.

Dexter did so well here. I was told his rehab would take a while and it did. But he's a young dog so totally worth it.He always looked forward to going for his treatments and Serena and all the staff were so loving and patient towards him.We will miss our visits there. Dex improves daily.Thank you to Dr. Walker and the great staff for your care.

We really love the care and service at Somers Animal Hospital (SAH). The cost is very reasonable as well. Everyone is very compassionate and caring. I couldn’t be happier with the hospital, Doctor and other staff. Read on for more details.We took our senior dog to SAH after receiving bad news from another vet. We were told that we should put down our beloved girl and there was little we could do for her. Considering that she appeared old but fine, we wanted to explore our other options for extending her life as long as possible, provided she was comfortable and not suffering.SAH was very accommodating and helpful with getting her medical records transferred over and setting us up to see one of their veterinarians for a second opinion.On the day of the appointment we were seen by Dr. Hallquest. The Doctor spent plenty of time listening to our pet’s history and the recent trends leading up to the terminal diagnosis. Dr. Hallquest was versed in our dogs medical history, evidencing that time was taken to learn about or dog before the appointment.Dr. Hallquest then conducted her exam and took our dog inside for a sonogram. After the exam, Dr. Hallquest gave us her diagnosis and our options. She thoroughly explained everything to us, and even provided counseling and helpful tips toward deciding what was the best thing for us to do.After helping us navigate the various complicated factors in determining a loved-one’s fate and providing us with realistic expectations, we came to a comfortable decision.Based on our preference, Dr. Hallquest put together a treatment and monitoring program that we feel was the right choice for us.We are grateful for the knowledge, experience, and the wonderful insight of Dr. Hallquest. We are also very impressed with the hospital’s state-of-the-art capabilities. Although the other vet had a different opinion, which is not an error nor misconduct, we will be bringing all our pets to Somers Animal Hospital because of their generosity of time and knowledge walking us through such a difficult decision.

We love our vet, Dr. Christina Buchter. She’s great with my dog and really cares. She explains everything so well, and we really feel like our dog is in good hands. The staff is also friendly and helpful.

I have been bringing my pets here for over 30 years, and I’ve moved several times. This is the BEST place for the care of your animals. The vets are excellent- kind and professional. The rest of the staff- front desk, nurses, techs, etc- could not be a kinder group of people. And the facility is immaculate!

As soon as you enter Somers Animal Hospital, you and your pet are treated like family. From the kindness of the amazing reception and tech staff, to the knowledge and empathy of the doctors, this is my favorite vet I've worked with in 25 years of owning pets. I will always be grateful for the thorough exams, after-hour phone calls from the staff answering questions, and the bonds everyone at the animal hospital made with my Storm and Trooper. No question, hands down, Somers Animal Hospital is the best vet for miles and miles around. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!

We brang our senior dog Max here to see Dr. Christina Buchter. It was the worst experience possible. We went to her to see if we could enhance his mobility. All we wanted was to have her check his legs. That's not what happened. Instead, she roughly took our senior dog, picked him up around his stomach, squeezed him tightly as we watched his eyes pop out of his head. It all happened very quickly. As soon as we were done with her rough evaluation, that didn't even involve my dog's legs we brought him home and he began to have labored breathing. The next day, Max passed. We believe this all happened due to her mishandling of him and caused something to rupture in his stomach. When we confronted her on this she stated that this check up she did was "routine" and "if she did rupture something he only would have had a few days left". She showed little to no remorse. Dont take your dog here, especially a senior dog.

From the front desk team, vet techs, to meeting with the doctors, everyone is friendly, helpful, supportive and professional. I appreciate Dr. Walker's approach to his care for my dogs. He listens to my concerns and requests and discusses options without negating mine. He's a wealth of information and one can't deny his kind spirit and love of animals. My dog just had surgery and from step one to setting up our post-op visit, I was provided with complete information and follow-up calls to ensure all was going well. Thank you Somers Animal Hospital.

Somers Animal Hospital is FANtastic! I am a veterinarian and needed help with my cat. Dr. Walker & Lucy got her in right away and helped me out. They are truly compassionate and caring.

Somers Animal Hospital has been my preferred animal care choice for many years. Throughout the time I have availed my animals of their services, I could not be more satisified and happy with the extensive care and most importantly the human touch that exists at every level. I am always confident that my animals will be well taken care of. From the moment one enters the facility, you are made to feel welcome and that the staff truly cares for your animal and you! I would recommend Somers Animal Hospital without reservation in the knowledge that they are indeed a caring and wonderful facility for passionate and humane animal care.

I have been going to the Somers Animal Hospital long enough to remember when they first built the "new" building that they are in now! They have lovingly cared for many of our family pets that lived for 15-18 years, and the next generation of pets for the same length of time. Dr. Randell has extensive knowledge above and beyond what you would expect and works with many types of animals. There are specialists they will refer to when needed, but can handle most issues. Most of the staff has been there for years. They are very compassionate, caring, friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough. The entire staff is educated, organized, and remembers everyone and their owners. The animal hospital is also immaculate. I have heard that other vets may be cheaper but my feeling is you get what you pay for. My pets are part of my family and bargain basement healthcare is not how I want to pinch pennies. I am certain if you try them you will love them as much as my terrible Chihuahua and 3 kitties do!

I have used Somers Animal Hospital for years, for a variety of animals. They are professional, caring (to both the animals and their owners!) and super friendly. Choosing them for your pet's health care provider is like becoming part of their family. Both in times of wellness (routine visits, shots), and illness I have always been confident that my pets are getting not only the best of care, but also true concern. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We have been seeing Dr. Walker at Somers Animal Hospital for years and have received great care for our elderly dogs, both of whom regularly go for PT (including underwater treadmill) with and acupuncture. Prior to our weekly PT visit, one of our dogs was lethargic and hadn't eaten for two days. We called and asked that he be examined. Dr. Walker was on vacation, but Dr. Kate Hallquest quickly saw him on arrival and gave a complete exam diagnosing him with aspiration pneumonia. He had vomited before showing symptoms. She was great, speaking to us at length about symptoms and prognosis, and we quickly agreed to the therapy of oxygen, antibiotics and IV fluids. He improved, but then really needed 24 hour care, wo we took him to Cornell. We appreciated her care and quick correct diagnosis. She also followed up both with Cornell (giving them the necessary information) and with us to see how he and we were doing.
