Forest Veterinary Group

Forest Veterinary Group is a veterinary practice that also acts as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe smooth, supportive day-to-day care (including pets staying relaxed during appointments) alongside examples of urgent treatment being arranged quickly—one cat with a “massive infection” had an operation organised at short notice and was home the same afternoon. Practical admin support is also mentioned, such as helping an owner with an insurance claim. A recurring downside is waiting times: one reviewer reported their visit ran “way over” the appointment time.
