# Forest Tails Pet Services
Forest Tails Pet Services, based in Coleford, Gloucestershire, is a comprehensive pet care provider run by Alison Naylor, a passionate animal professional with extensive credentials and hands-on experience. The business caters to pet owners across the Forest of Dean area who need reliable, knowledgeable care for their animals whilst away or busy.
Alison's background is genuinely distinctive. She grew up with horses and dogs, holds an Agility Club of Great Britain Instructors Certificate, and has completed formal dog training courses. Her Level 3 Dog Grooming Certification from Hartpury University, combined with an animal first aid certificate and current DBS clearance, demonstrates serious professional investment. Her years teaching BTEC Level 2 Animal Care mean she's handled everything from sheep and pigs to bearded dragons—not just dogs.
What sets Forest Tails apart is this breadth of expertise applied personally. Alison owns several border collies trained in agility and herding, so she genuinely understands dog behaviour and individual needs. Her grooming service is complemented by specialist Emmi-Pet ultrasonic tooth cleaning, a less common offering. She provides dog walking, pop-in feeding services, pet transport in her crated, air-conditioned van, and even horse care during holidays.
Customer feedback highlights her patience and gentleness with nervous animals. She's fully insured through Protectivity and maintains professional standards through NARPS membership. For Forest of Dean residents seeking trustworthy, multi-skilled pet care from someone who truly knows animals, Forest Tails offers genuine expertise rather than basic services.
