Great experience with my little 10 week old pup Otto today. Rory the vet explained everything to me and answered all my questions with great care and patience. It's my first time as a pet owner so he made the whole process very smooth and simple.

I recently registered with Forestside vet after reading the great reviews on here and the reviews are right, this is a great practice. I also checked out their Facebook page and was delighted to see how the vets and veterinary team are so animal focused , down to earth and have such a great sense of humour. (Check out their Facebook page it's hilarious) I went onto the website and was delighted that I could register both my cats online and the process was very straightforward. Fast forward to today my old boy Scruffy developed pain, discomfort and bloating in his stomach, as well as not eating and being violently sick so I got him booked in for my first appointment. Making the appointment was easy and we were seen within the hour. Upon arrival I was greeted by a lovely receptionist who knew it was myself and Scruffy, the reception area is covered in thank you cards, which tells you all you need to know. I didn't have to wait long to be seen and Donal the vet came out to introduce himself and was quite welcoming. Donal listened very carefully to everything Scruffy was experiencing for the past four days, details about his meds etc and then gave him a thorough examination and explained clearly what tests would be needed to get to the bottom of what was making Scruff so sick. He also helped me understand how it all works with insurance as I've not claimed before. Making the experience so much easier. I was also advised of the costs for tests and treatment so there were no shocking surprises. Scruffy got bloods and x-rays done on the same day and Donal advised me that another vet ( Andrew McQuaid) would contact me in the afternoon with Scruffys results which was great because it's so worrying having to wait for results. Andrew called within an hour and a half and provided me with information over the phone with Scruffys results and detailed what was revealed on the scan, which I also appreciated,rather than that dreaded drive not knowing what you would be told. Upon collecting Scruff , I met Andrew who was covering reception and he showed me Scruffys x-ray and explained everything so clearly. So down to earth and highly knowledgeable. They also sent his x-ray to a specialist in Dublin to rule anything out before the final results and treatment were provided. Extremely thorough. Great experience, amazing vets who listen and care about you and your pet. Scruffy is home now and is much better thank goodness. I know I've chosen a great and caring vet practice which is rare these days . I would definitely recommend this practice because your pets will be in great hands.

Switching to Forestside Vets was the best decision I’ve ever made. After what felt like a never-ending battle with ear infections, we’re finally in the clear and I couldn’t be more thankful to Rory. Toby is a much happier boy now. Thank you so much!

Highly recommend Andrew- especially for rabbits. He was brilliant with my wee Casper, quick diagnosis and treatment options. I also thought the cost was very reasonable. He was also very helpful in answering my questions and offered lots of very helpful advice. I will definitely be sticking with Andrew for all my small animals- even though it is over an hour away, it’s worth it as a good exotic vet is very hard to find. He was also great with my 2 turtles a while back. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Thanks again Andrew!

Took my greyhound for her annual check-up and vaccines, and I couldn’t recommend them more. Vet Rory is incredibly knowledgeable about the breed, which gave me real peace of mind. The whole team is lovely, the clinic runs efficiently and the surroundings are clean and welcoming. Great experience from start to finish.
