I have been going there for a long time. It’s been 34 years since I have been going to them. We were taking dogs and cats to them and not we take only cats. Everything there is A-rated. I would recommend them to others. They are very concerned about the animals. They treat the animals’ right and their customers’ right. The quality that they deliver above everything is good.
Description of Work: We use Forest Park Veterinary Clinic for veterinarians. I took my cat there last time during last summer for annual checkup for my cats. We have boarded our cat there as well. They also keep the cats overnight when they treat them for something. They have also kept our dogs when we went out of home.

See above.
Description of Work: My dog had frequent gagging. He was examined & given an antibiotic. The antibiotic was one that Kroger, Giant Eagle & Walmart give away free. I was charged $21 for it. I was home before I realized it. I was quite unhappy about that.

Response from Forest Park Veterinary Clinic
We are sorry for any confusion this client had about their medication, unfortunately, not all dosages of prescription medications are made for human medicine and therefore are not available at a human pharmacy which was the case with this particular strength of medication. We do try to allow our clients to save money when purchasing a medication through a human pharmacies when possible, but we will not dose a patient incorrectly to do so. We also give away free treats to help with the medicating process for all of our presciptions which you will not find at a human pharmacy. We hope this will help to clear up any miscommunications.

The staff was friendly and the doctors are very thorough. My dogs seem fine with being there and are treated well. I can schedule my appointments online, get medication online, and get reminders from them online.
Description of Work: I have two dogs and I had their shots done, medication given, and overall checkups for them.

I love them very much and I've been with them probably since 1998. I guess it's going to sound crazy but I take all the stray cats from my neighborhood and take them. I'll catch them in my have a heart trap and they'll help me try to find homes for them. They kept one of the cats up there for a whole week and I didn't have to pay anything until we were able to find him a home. The other ones, I'll stay in the neuter room and they don't charge me too much to do that because I am a long time customer. They are only 5 minutes away from where I live and my cats hate being in the car. They are in a convenient location and I really like them. They are not cheap or anything and they don't give deals all the time. They charge the normal rate. They are very responsive. When I trap a cat, I just call and say I am coming. They are very punctual when I have an appointment with them.
Description of Work: I use Forest Park Veterinary Clinic as my Veterinarians. I was there this past February. All four of my cats were for due.

DR. LEHNERD HAS BEEN OUR VETERINARIAN SINCE WE FIRST MOVED TO COLUMBUS IN 1989. HE HAS PROVIDED EXCELLENT AND COMPASSIONATE TREATMENT FOR ALL OF OUR FOUR CATS DURING THE PAST 16 YEARS. HE TREATED MY 15-YR-OLD SIAMESE WHEN SHE DEVELOPED TERMINAL CANCER AND EVENTUALLY HAD TO BE PUT TO SLEEP, AND THE WHOLE OFFICE STAFF WAS VERY KIND AND COMPASSIONATE DURING THIS WHOLE PROCESS. HE AND HIS STAFF HAVE ALSO WORKED WITH US WHEN WE HAD ''LITTER BOX ISSUES'' WITH ONE OF OUR OTHER CATS. IT IS CLEAR THAT DR. LEHNERD AND HIS STAFF LOVE ANIMALS. THEY ARE ALWAYS PROMPT IN CALLING CLIENTS WITH RESULTS OF TESTS, OR TO LET US KNOW THE OUTCOME OF SURGICAL PROCEDURES. HIS OFFICE IS WARM AND INVITING, AND HIS STAFF ARE UNDERSTANDING WHEN ANIMALS ARE SHY OR AFRAID. I WOULD NOT HAVE ANYONE ELSE TREATING MY CATS.
Description of Work: ANNUAL CHECKUP FOR TWO CATS; FLEA & HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE; TEST & BLOODWORK ON SENIOR CAT; DENTAL ON CAT; TREATMENT FOR GINGIVITIS ON YOUNGER CAT.

I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. I AM SO HAPPY I CHOSE THIS CLINIC FOR MY PET. I WAS GREETED PROFESSIONALLY AND WARMLY BY THE STAFF. THE LOBBY WAS CLEAN AND OPEN. THE TECHS WERE PROFESSIONAL AND PATIENT WITH MY DOG. THE DOCTOR WAS HELPFUL AND VERY FRIENDLY. I CAN TELL THAT THIS IS THE VET FOR ME. I RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE TO ANY NEW AND EXISTING ANIMAL OWNER IF YOU HAVE A CAT/DOG. THE CLINIC ALSO HAS PERMANENT RESIDENT'S THAT HAVE THE RUN OF THE CLINIC, AND THIS REALLY PUT A SENSE OF EASE AND COMFORT IN THE AIR.
Description of Work: I TOOK MY PET IN FOR HER SHOTS (RABIES, DISTEMPER, BOOSTER), AND FOR AN OVERALL EXAMINATION. I ALSO BOUGHT THE HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE AND THE FLEA MEDICATION FOR HER.
