TVG (Angus) Limited T/A Thrums Veterinary Group – Vets in Forfar
Clinic Overview
- Recent reviews are strongly positive about the manner of the vets and support staff, with repeated mentions of gentle handling, clear explanations, and pets being kept as relaxed as possible. - Continuity of care stands out: one owner appreciated seeing the same vet across Forfar and Kirriemuir so their poorly dog could have a proper follow-up check. - Families speak very warmly about care in difficult moments, including personal and professional support for older pets and thoughtful euthanasia arrangements.
Thrums Veterinary Group says it is Scotland’s largest independent veterinary group and has been established since 1948. The practice provides care for pets, farm animals, and equine patients, and states that it runs its own 24/7, 365 emergency and out-of-hours service rather than outsourcing cases. Recent feedback for the Forfar branch highlights kind handling, continuity of care, and strong support for families during difficult appointments.
