Forest Veterinary Clinic is an RCVS Accredited companion-animal practice that says it has been providing pet healthcare for over 20 years. The website states in-hours emergencies are handled at the clinic, with out-of-hours emergencies managed by VetsNow. In the latest reviews available, several owners describe clear, practical communication (leaving “well informed” about what to do next), and specific end-of-life support including allowing a child to be present and later sending a condolence card and paw print—while one recent reviewer reports a decline in “service and attention to detail” and chose to move their senior pet’s care elsewhere after a long relationship with the practice.
