🐾 Vet in Forres, Moray

About Vets

A vet provides medical care for your pets - vaccinations, health checks, treatment for illness and injury and routine procedures like neutering and microchipping.

Whether you visit a local surgery or have a vet come to your home, finding someone your animals are comfortable with makes every visit easier.

Check they are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and ask about out-of-hours emergency cover before you need it.

About Moray

(opens in new tab)

Moray is a council area on the southern shore of the Moray Firth in north-east Scotland, stretching from the fertile coastal lowlands inland through the broad valley of the River Spey to the fringes of the Cairngorms.

Elgin is the administrative centre and largest town, a handsome settlement built around the ruins of its medieval cathedral - once known as the Lantern of the North. Forres, Lossiemouth, Buckie and Keith are the other main towns, each with a distinct character shaped by the industries and landscape around them.

The region has the highest concentration of malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Speyside - the valley of the River Spey running through Dufftown, Craigellachie and Aberlour - is home to some of the most famous names in Scotch whisky and the Malt Whisky Trail draws visitors from around the world. Dufftown alone has more distilleries than most countries.

RAF Lossiemouth is one of the largest military bases in Scotland and a major employer in the area, while the Moray Firth coast supports fishing communities at Buckie, Burghead and Lossiemouth. Farming - particularly barley growing, which feeds the distilleries - remains central to the local economy across the fertile coastal plain.

Transport links include the A96 connecting Elgin to Inverness and Aberdeen, with rail services running along the same corridor. The A95 follows the Spey valley south towards the Cairngorms, connecting the whisky towns and providing access to the Highlands.
