We just got our puppy Roscoe about a month ago. I initially was curious about Progressive Animal Wellness due to its proximity to my workplace. I figured it would be a convenient location to bring my puppy. I stopped by one day and was given a tour by the doctors wife, who was very warm and friendly, and I was VERY impressed by the modern equipment and cleanliness! When I brought Roscoe to his first visit, I was unsure about what I should consider when evaluating a practice for my puppy. But the moment I walked through the door, I knew I had found the right place. Roscoe was greeted with kindness and affection from the staff, he was given water and treats for good behavior. Also, as a first time puppy owner, I felt that the doctor and his staff were so helpful and understanding. I never felt rushed in our appointment, and I left the office that day a much more confident pet owner. If you are looking for a vet for your pet and want to take him/her to a place where they are treated with the same love they get at home, and where medical decisions are clearly explained & your pets heathcare is a collaboration between doctor and owner...this is the place for you. Dr. Corey and his staff are wonderful - and Roscoe loves going to his appointments!!

Thank God ! We finally found the one. After moving to the area we finally found a kind, caring, knowledgeable, professional and great communicating veterinary facility. Dr. Shagensky and his staff are outstanding and I would highly recommend them to anyone who cares where they bring their animals for their health needs. We were used to a great vet who has since retired from a Wolcott, Ct. veterinary clinic. This Dr. could walk on water in all aspects of veterinary care. After moving to Avon we tried a high end veterinary practice/hospital in the north end of West Hartford. It just didnt do it for us because it felt like a corporate assembly line that did not communicate well and had a extremely high fee structure to match. Dr. Shagensky and his staff at PAW in Avon deserve a round of applause for restoring my faith that there are professionals out there that really care and their fee structure is reasonable and you wont have to mortgage your house to provide your animals with the highest quality veterinary care.

i have a large breed dog, who is extremely healthy! These so called vets told me to enjoy the years i had with her because she is a big dog and they dont live long, then they recommended a bunch of unneeded surgical procedures to me i.e stomach being stapled, and a cancer biopsy of a node that she has had for years. I left this place really upset and angry at the balls they had to tell me what they told me about my girl. I have been to 3 vets previously and post animal wellness who all were in awe of her genetics and health. They have all told me what a crock and money grab this place was due to the recommendations progressive animal wellness suggested, and laughed about the comment the vet made to enjoy her last few years. The other vets informed me that my dog is overly healthy and will live for a long time. I dont recommend this place at all. No Heart just $$$$

Im not sure who is happier with PAW, my husband and I, or our three pets! Dr. Shagensky, Katie, and Marissa not only provide top notch care, but clearly care about the pets and families they are interacting with. They have worked with us on everything from caring for a terminally ill cat with a brain tumor to introducing a new pet to the household, showing great compassion under the toughest of circumstances. They always take the time to answer any questions and you never feel rushed. Weve traveled to specialty animal hospitals from Massachusetts to Maine while seeking care for our pets and the staff at PAW is right up there with the best of them-Id highly recommend them to anyone!

Dr. Shagensky surrounds himself with the best staff Ive ever seen. His vet techs are unfailingly warm, friendly, professional and efficient,and you can tell they really enjoy where they work. The office is immaculately clean and inviting, and the location is ideal (theres even a pet supplies store right next door!). Dr. Shagensky is gentle, thorough, unhurried and straightforward. I always trust my instincts when leaving my beloved pets in someones care, and Dr. Shagensky and his staff inspire the utmost confidence and comfort with their manner and talents. I look forward to my pets receiving their care for years to come.

We recently switched vets because our previous vet office felt too busy, too impersonal, and a bit judgmental. While they were educated and qualified doctors, we wanted some place more personal and understanding. We cannot always afford the best treatment, and PAW always offers us alternatives without judgment or resistance. The office staff is so educated and able to answer questions. The office is accommodating to my schedule, and exceedingly caring with the animals. Never been happier with a vet than I am with PAW!!

Progressive Animal Wellness is AWESOME! You will not find a vet that will care for your animals better than PAWs. I feel like when I walk in there with my pets that they really care as if they were their own pets. My previous vet, that was not the case. The clinic is clean, modern, and I like how they use current technology in the practice. Trust me, do yourself a favor, go to Progressive Animal Wellness for all your pets needs. You will not be disappointed, and you will receive a very high level of care.

Dr. Shagensky and his team are the rare combination of exceptionally talented and interested in spending as much time with a client and patient as necessary. Their medicine is first class (and I would know, I am a licensed veterinary technician), and their interest in and compassion for healthy animals is obvious. Dr. Shagensky is a Cornell Graduate, did an extra year of intership at a specialty hospital and is deeply experienced in emergency medicine. I cannot recommend this practice enough. Karyn

We consistently have a great experience at PAW. The staff is pleasant & knowledgable. They treat my dog like shes their own. Dr. Shagensky is fantastic with my dog and you can tell he really cares. Its very neat and clean in the office which is important to me as well. I would recommend PAW to any one looking for a high quality of care vet clinic with caring people. A+

Best vets office ever. When you walk in instantly the vet techs instantly know you and your dogs name. The first time you go they take an adorable picture of your dog and put it with your file. Dr.Shagensky and his staff are amazing. They check up with you after your appointment to see how your pet is doing and treat your pet as a memeber of their family. I cant say enough good things about them. They are amazing and I will always go to them and recommend them highly.
