Welcome to Castle Vets in Dorchester and Weymouth

Trusted, local, independent vet care.

We are an independent vet specialising in small animal care in the heart of Dorset. Our vet clinics are based in Dorchester (Poundbury) and Weymouth and we serve all the surrounding villages from both our branches.

Our friendly and very experienced vets and nurses are here for you seven days a week. We offer comprehensive, modern facilities with ample parking. We offer appointments from 8am until 7pm and provide a 24 hour emergency service to our registered clients, so you can see us whenever you need to.

Join us on PetsApp today!

We are proud to announce that thanks to our various wonderful technology partners we have rolled out our text based chat app.

You can use the app to talk to our team about general enquiries, for making medication requests and for booking appointments. We also have the ability to provide video consultations when needed.

We think this will be an essential addition to our ongoing service through these difficult times and in the future.

Recommended so highly, this place and its staff are all amazing!
Friendly knowledgeable staff, very caring and efficient. Highly recommend
Parker can certainly be a bit of a handful at times the staff are always brilliant with him no worries of leaving him there.Always so incredibly friendly and empathetic no matter how big or small a problem. I'm always confident in they're knowledge and wisdom.
Had to say goodbye to our friend and the service we received from all staff , from reception to Giles was amazing.Thank you
Always pleasant. No trouble getting an appointment.
A very caring vet with very helpful staff. I've always managed to get an appointment quickly. Would highly recommend.
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my muns dog. Sad times
Very friendly and helpful.
5* service from reception to consultation room.Fern my springer had a tough time for about a week or so and she's now doing great, I cant thank them enough.They kept me reassured at all times and made the whole experience a whole lot easier.Vets arnt shy of a telephone call to help assist from home rather than calling you in to the practice just for the sake of the consultation fees, unlike other vets I've previously used.Reception are really friendly and helpful.Alice and Star are the two names that stood out the most for me, as these guys dealt with me the most but the rest of the team I spoke to are equally as professional and friendly.One happy fern and 8 even happier puppies
I wanted to thank you for your incredibly responsive out-of-hours service yesterday. It very likely saved my dog's life. Your quick action prevented a serious and potentially life-threatening deterioration in his condition. Casper has been a patient since he was a puppy, and we've always received outstanding care. Thank you so much.
Friendly staff and very helpful.
We are Very Happy with the Service, Care and Treatment given to Sydney by Kirsty, Giles and the support team.Highly recommended.
Very friendly team who always make sure that your furry bestie is happy and healthy
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
Covid safe procedures in place and all clean and bright.
They are amazing and really care about our pets!
Lovely vets,so friendly. Nothing too much trouble.
So lovely and helpful. Couldn't recommend them more!
Only used the vets once, it was very well organised for corona restrictions.
Always amazing service. Quick & swift action removed a 2.5 cm piece of hawthorn from my dogs foot! 😬😬😬 Great vets, highly recommend. 🐕😻🐕😻
Very satisfied with the service i recieved from castle vets.Would recommend to any one to take there.
Castle Vets took care of our dog for many years, and were incredibly kind and helpful when she reached the end of her life.
Very pleased with treatment our cat received very kind would recommend this practice to anybody
Just started taking our kitten Nimbus to this vets recently, vet instantly told us hes actually a boy 😂 Extremely friendly vet and reception staff so thankful we chose such a friendly vet. Only thing to mention is theyve got his name on file wrong as Nimba we learnt when i got an email for the cat plan 😂!
Used this vet for many years and I would not want to go anywhere else, they looked after my little girl (cat) a year or so ago and they were amazing at such a hard time in my life, I was able to stay with my cat as I said goodbye. They aways do the best for my cats. Very understanding and kind. Would highly recommend.
