The Forest Hill Veterinary Clinic, as it was originally called, was founded in 1975 and operated for many years as a single vet practice. The Forest Hill Veterinary Clinic was purchased by Dr David Margary in 1995. In 2008 the small clinic underwent extensive modernisation & extension works to transform it into the state of the art Veterinary Hospital it is today. Our new facility has enabled us to provide better services for our existing clients in a comfortable modern setting & to cater for the needs of our expanding practice well into the future.

Thank you so much to the whole team who have been nothing but lovely in looking after our cat who became suddenly unwell. All of the staff have been so helpful, professional and caring. The care and treatment for our cat (who is now rapidly recovering well) has been wonderful and all aspects clearly explained to us with patience and care. We are very grateful to have found this vet and look forward to them caring for our other pets now too. Read Less

Our cat has been seen by the staff at this vet for a number of years. She was given a second lease on life a couple of years ago with their care and diagnosis. She was handed in there when she was found by some friendly locals lying in the heat yesterday. Unfortunately she was 19, very dehydrated and clearly had decided it was time to leave us. I can't thank the staff enough for their care, the time they gave us to say goodbye, and treated us and our beloved cat with the utmost care and respect. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellent care for their furry family, and we will return to them in 2017. Read Less

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to David, Leslie, Bronwen and all the girls at Forest Hill Vet for taking such good care of our beautiful boy Windsor over the past two weeks. The staff are all so caring and David, Leslie and Bronwen have been great in helping us figure out what was happening to our boy. They all took the time to explain things in a way that we could clearly understand and made sure we had the best advice so we could look after our boy the best way possible. Unfortunately our boy was sicker then we thought and we had to put him to sleep, we were devastated but Leslie reassured us that it was the right thing to do as our boy was in a bad state and he was not going to get better. During the process of his euthanasia we were a mess but Leslie was very caring and understanding toward us and gave us the time we needed with Windsor. I highly recommend this vet and when the time is right for us to get another pet we will be back. Thank you all once again from the bottom of our heartsRead Less

Forest Hill Vet clinic & its staff go over & above what you'd expect from an "ordinary" vet clinic. Our beloved fur babies mean something to them & it's more than noticeable when you walk in. Trust me when I say, you, your fur babies & your family are much more than just a "client". You are always welcome & treated with the utmost respect & dignity. Sadly, I had to euthanise my beloved Riley, (my 13 year old Jack Russell) on 27th October & can I tell you, the honest empathy, emotions & compassion shown to me has been immensely appreciated & immeasurable. I knew my dog was treasured by not just me, but also the staff. I promise you, you WILL never regret making the change to Forest Hill Vet.

We appreciate the team going above and beyond to provide our animals with specialist treatment when required.
