Clinic Overview

Forest Veterinary Group is a multi-branch veterinary clinic (three practices are mentioned on its website). The website highlights Pet Health Club® / Pet Health Club® Plus membership plans that include consultations as part of the plan (no prices or inclusions beyond that are stated in the available site summary).

From the latest reviews available to us, owners describe a mix of experiences: some report being fitted in quickly for urgent problems (one review mentions being seen within the hour for a wasp sting, with updates on the wait and the sting found/treated), while others describe difficulty accessing appointments and frustration with phone/administrative handling (including being told to call back at a set time to try for held-back appointments). Several negative reviews focus on perceived high pricing and concerns about unnecessary testing or treatment being suggested.

Services

  • General veterinary appointments (implied throughout reviews).
  • Urgent same-day care mentioned in reviews: one owner reports getting an appointment within the hour for a dog with a wasp sting, with staff locating the sting.
  • Dental treatment referenced in reviews: one reviewer mentions being quoted for a tooth treatment (no details of procedure provided).
  • Eye medication dispensed (one review describes being sold eye medication).
  • Veterinary nurse training facility (listed in the clinic data).
  • Emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours) (listed in the clinic data).
  • Membership plan: Pet Health Club® / Pet Health Club® Plus, with consultations included as part of the Plus plan (as stated on the website summary).

People

No individual vets or nurses are named in the information provided.

What owners mention about the team (in general terms)

  • Some reviews describe staff as friendly/helpful (“great team,” “nice staff,” “helpful and kind vets”).
  • Other reviews describe problems specifically with front-desk/administrative interactions, including not getting through on the phone and feeling dismissed when trying to arrange an appointment for a suddenly unwell dog.

Reviews

4.5 stars from 431 reviews. - Fast help for an urgent issue (in at least one case): an owner reports being offered an appointment within the hour for a wasp sting and being kept updated about when they would be seen.

  • Friendliness vs. admin/access frustrations: several brief reviews praise the team, but one longer review describes unanswered calls and being told to ring at a specific time to access held-back appointments, with the caller feeling the staff member was “uncaring.”
  • Cost concerns and trust issues: multiple 1-star reviews describe prices as “extortionate” or medication being far more expensive than elsewhere, and some allege unnecessary testing or treatment being recommended for financial reasons (these are allegations from reviewers, not independently verified here).
