We have used this practice for Sophie our jack-cairn terrier cross since 2006 It is a wonderful practice and over the last few years with Soph's heart and arthritic needs, Janine Redman has been fantastic. I can't praise the practice and all it's staff highly enough. Thank you, one and allRead Less

We have gone to Forest Lodge with our Lab Bomber for over 11 years now since he was a puppy ! I have only praise for all the vets , nurses & reception staff at Forest Lodge and would not hesitate to recommend them. They have treated his epilepsy, old age arthritic joints and we have always had the best of care. Read Less

Last year we made the decision to transfer our elderly cat to Forest Lodge earlier having lost confidence in our previous practice. Throughout the last few months of our precious little girls life, we dealt mainly with Aidan, who we found to be an exceptionally kind and caring vet. He was highly approachable, took time to thoroughly explain everything and to listen to any concerns and answer any questions. We were very fortunate to have found such a good vet who seems to genuinely care about his patients and clients. Sadly in late October our lovely old girl lost her long fight against a bladder mass, CRF and general old age. She was 17/18 years old. On the day our hearts broke we couldnt have asked for a more compassionate and sympathetic service from the staff involved Mehul, Phyllis and Hayley. Happily, we have since adopted twin sister cats who are also now registered with Forest Lodge. We have to travel some distance to the surgeries, but it is worth it knowing that our pets will receive the best care possible. Highly recommended. The only reason I am rating 4 out of 5 rather than 5 out of 5 is because unfortunately the admin side of things fell apart after we lost our beautiful girl in that there were some significant and distressing miscommunications regarding our request for a private cremation these miscommunications were not what was needed at such an already upsetting time - but all got sorted in the end and our lovely girl came back to us safely and as requested.Read Less

Vets Roanne Dow and Aiden Borrill amongst others at this practice have been so kind, knowledgeable, helpful and practical during the care of our cat over the years. Especially recently as she gets older and more frequent contact with them has been inevitable. And today their receptionist, Joanne, went above and beyond the call of duty for an injured animal. What incredible team! So grateful this is our local practice Read Less

I have been using the vets now for years I can honestly say that they are the best vets in the new forest area they take the time to get to know the animals and my youngest dog can't wait to get inside and if he can slips his collar to get back inside the practise. I did see a vet that I didn't know who was an older gentleman who was not as good as the other vets but put it down to not knowing me or my animals his treatment was good. Not every person is a people person Read Less

Can't speak highly enough of these fantastic people !!! A month ago our springer spaniel ripped her side completely open at the beach !! Not only did they talk us through the traffic to get her to them they were waiting in the road for us when we arrived !! Two surgeries and numerous visits later she is almost back to herself again !! She was treated like she was their own pup and we will be forever grateful to this practice and the people who work there !!! Eric and Kim Vokes and Our girl Frankie Read Less
