Clinic Overview

Forest Veterinary Clinic Limited describes itself as an independent, full-service practice for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and small exotic pets. The website lists in-house X‑rays, ultrasound and an in-house laboratory for diagnostics, alongside surgery options including soft-tissue procedures and minor orthopaedic work. Recent reviews most often mention help with urgent same-day appointments, longer-term case management (including diabetes monitoring and controlled blood results), and support around end-of-life care (including time to say goodbye and keepsakes such as paw prints/fur in a card). One recent review reports an unfriendly, unprofessional-feeling visit (staff “moaning”/talking about colleagues), which contrasts with other reviews describing a supportive team.

Services

People

  • •Tom (vet): mentioned for treating a cockatiel’s infected eye over a week of treatment, with the bird “100% on the mend” (review). Also singled out (along with Sophie) as “excellent” in a dog’s diabetes care where blood results became controlled (review).
  • •Sophie (veterinarian): described as calm and supportive, helping an owner feel at ease; also mentioned in connection with diabetes management (reviews).
  • •Imogen and Maddy (veterinary surgeon team): credited for guiding a multi-week rehabilitation of a severely underweight cat after a long period missing (review).
  • •Front-of-house staff: described as getting to know a cat and giving “plenty of fuss and affection” during repeat visits (review). One reviewer reported a recent visit felt “not friendly” and “not professional,” citing staff complaining/talking about other staff (review).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 467 reviews. “”

  • •Support in difficult moments: multiple reviews describe euthanasia/end-of-life appointments handled without rushing, with time to say goodbye and compassionate language; one mentions receiving a card with paw prints and fur afterwards.
  • •Urgent access: same-day appointments for urgent cases are specifically mentioned.
  • •Complex/ongoing care: one owner credits the clinic with stabilising a dog’s diabetes (“bloods are controlled now”).
  • •Exotics seen in practice: a cockatiel’s infected eye treated successfully over a week.
  • •Mixed experience on professionalism: one recent reviewer reports an uncomfortable, unfriendly visit and concerns about staff conversations/complaining, which conflicts with many other accounts of kindness and support.
