My dog Basil, had a lamb knuckle bone stuck in his esophagus. Fortunately Nina and her team took care of this and Basil. I would like to say a big thank you, to Nina, the nurses and the vet we saw that evening in emergency. Basil still has to go back today for a further x-ray, to make sure the bone is/has dissolved properly in his stomach. The most expensive bone he has ever had. Never again! But thankfully he is back to his usual annoying self! Read Less

Rude and unapologetic staff. Horrific experience. Would only go there in extreme emergency as this is my nearest vet. Veterinarian was a lovely, caring man. Hence the 2 stars!

Fantastic vet practice, always so kind and patient with my dogs, in fact my dogs love visiting here. The quality of care and treatment is exceptional. All the staff, vets, nurses and reception ladies are so lovely and always helpful. My border collies cancer was picked up and treated very quickly, her aftercare was second to none, their kindness and reassurance especially me worrying about every little thing afterwards, made such a difference. I have since acquired a second dog who had dreadful digestive problems, thanks to investigations, that seems a thing of the past too. In fact I think my dogs fake illness, just so they can go for a visit. Thank you forest vets, for putting up with us! Read Less

I cannot tell you how grateful we are for the support and care we have received from Forest Vets with our new puppy. After using other local vets with previous animals who clearly had no idea what they were doing (one let our dog eat chicken bones and had to pump his tummy!) finding Forest Vets was a relief! The care, knowledge and compassion of all the Harlow staff is outstanding and we would recommend them to everyone! Every step of the process has been enjoyable with our new puppy and the process has been made a hundred times easier by Forest Vets. Their support is invaluable. Read Less

I would absolutely avoid this practice at any cost. My dog went in for dental work and when he was collected he was constantly moaning and crying and I was advised that this was due to the anesthetic and not to worry. I ended up having to drive him at 10.00pm back to the surgery for overnight hospitalisation whereupon I was told he was now okay and I could collect him the following morning. On collecting him the next morning, he was still moaning and unhappy so I ended up taking him to another practice whereupon I was told he was in severe pain and subsequently was hospitalised for a week with pancreatitis. I truly believe that if it was not for House & Jackson, I could have potentially lost my dog. Read Less

Winston my 2 yr old sharpei is a bit of a regular to Forests. From the minuite we walk in the door no matter how busy it is we are always greeted with a smile and a cheery hello and majority times if one of the nurses is by reception when we go in Winston gets a treat and if he's really lucky a kiss to! All I can say is the vets are lovely kind compassionate even when I was sobbing when Winston was really poorly once they still found a minute to reassure me. Sometimes it's like a zoo when we go in and others it's so quite you could hear a pin drop but the quality of service and care is always the same brilliant. Read Less

Mr Swainsbury saved my Red Setters life when he was only 5 months old. He had a leaky heart valve and lived till he was 11 years old! I have since had 3 dogs registered with Forest Vets so I've actually been going there for about 22 years apart from a brief time when I relocated. The receptionists are exceptional and the vets and nurses are wonderful with my dogs. Having been to both Woodford and Epping, I must add the waiting areas and consultation rooms are spotlessly clean and tidy. My dogs always get treats and are spoilt rotten. Read Less

They are the most wonderful people, they treated my little dog "Prince" for some months which gave us that extra time to share his love and devotion to us. They described his condition and treatment to us in a way we could easily understand and with compassion. Sadly Prince has now been laid to rest, and the way it was completed by Forest veterinary centre was lovely, they really do care. A big thank you to all at Forest Veterinary Centre. Read Less

When taking my rat for treatment they did not handle him correctly and hurt him through this. Because this hurt him and he flinched i was then accused that he was not that unwell else he wouldnt have moved. After being given antibiotics i was informed that he may have tumor and there is nothing that they could do. This was my first time there, they was not interested in his history or had they done any investigations before giving me bad news. Read Less
