About Us
Forest Animal Hospital is a full-service veterinary hospital dedicated to providing the best possible care for your beloved pets. Established in June 1976 by Dr. Michael Walker, our hospital has been a trusted name in Forest, Mississippi, for over 40 years. Our commitment to excellence is evident in the comprehensive range of services we offer, designed to meet the unique needs of your furry companions throughout their lives.
We pride ourselves on being a one-stop solution for all your pet's health needs. Our services include state-of-the-art medical care, advanced diagnostic capabilities, and a wide array of treatments. Our in-house diagnostic lab allows us to obtain critical test results quickly, ensuring timely treatment plans for your pet. We also offer boarding facilities that are climate-controlled, spacious, and comfortable, ensuring your pet's safety and well-being while you are away.
Our medical team, led by Dr. Walker, is well-versed in various surgical procedures, including spay and neuter, laceration repair, reconstructive surgery, soft tissue removal, and orthopedic surgery. We utilize the latest technology, including laser therapy, to promote healing and minimize invasive procedures. Our dental care services focus on educating clients about the importance of oral health and providing thorough examinations and deep cleanings to prevent infections and illnesses.
In addition to medical and surgical care, we offer grooming services to help your pet look and feel their best. Our experienced groomer, Kevin Poturalski, has 13 years of experience and provides a range of services from nail trims and puppy cuts to bathing and treating special skin conditions.
At Forest Animal Hospital, we believe in preventive care and nutritional information to ensure your pet enjoys a lifetime of good health. We recommend annual check-ups for all pets, including vaccinations, examinations for illnesses or tumor growths, and nutritional advice tailored to their specific needs. Our comfortable reception area is designed to make your visits as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
