About Us

We are a consulting practice right in the heart of Forfar, that’s proudly independent and at the heart of the local community.

We offer easy access to an expert team of vets, supported by our veterinary hospital four miles up the road in Kirriemuir if your pet requires surgery, overnight hospitalisation or advanced care. We can offer acupuncture at our Forfar branch.

As well as consulting, we have a large range of pet foods, toys and other pet shop stuff that every pet owner would be delighted to get their hands on

Don’t leave it to chance – membership for wellness, insurance for illness, care that covers every step of the way

Our Practice Plan is the best way to ensure your pet stays healthy

Our Practice Plan is designed to spread the cost of preventative care across a monthly direct debit. Our Practice Plan Extra goes one step further, allowing us to provide the highest standard of care to our patients, including unlimited free consultations with our vets and nurses. That’s right – plan members can visit our practice as often as they like, and they won’t be charged for consultations!

Pet insurance that trusts us as much as you do

If your pet becomes unwell or has an injury, getting them the treatment they need – rather than the treatment you can afford at the time — can be vital. That’s why we’ve partnered with Pet Proactive. Together, we’re offering simple to understand and fairly priced lifetime insurance, bespoke to our clients, which reflects our pricing and the level of care we aim to offer your pet.


Our Forfar branch offers a pet consultation service and well stocked shop.
In Forfar, a small team of vets and receptionists are here to care for your pets. Farm and equine prescriptions can also be collected from here.
