Trusted, local, independent vet care.

Our friendlt 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.

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.

Reviews

Meet just a few of our happy owners and their pets!

Always friendly and helpful, and the dog doesn't mind going there which is a bonus 👍🏻
We are new to the area and have had nothing but kindness and professionalism from the vets
Very friendly. Great vets and nurses.
Absolutely lovely people. So caring, update you. My Pup loves them all. Have complete confidence leaving my pets with them.
They are amazing and really care about our pets!
Brilliant quick service
Exceptional Veterinary Practice.Although I have been a client for many years, my dog Jack seldom needs care. Recently however he was suffering a gland problem.. Jack is an imported rescue and the BVA recommend a safeguarding procedure (blood test) prior to any surgery in such cases due to possible Brucellosis infection. I was uncertain of the benefits, but was able to have a practical and sensible discussion with Giles, beforehand Jack had the procedure under sedation & Giles whipped out a loose back tooth too. Jack is not insured, but I was given an estimate of cost at our initial consultation which matched our final invoice. Thank you Giles, it seems to have done the trick and Jack has forgiven you (almost!)
Great Vets.
Truly caring fantastic vets, my wife and I can't thank and praise them enough, very highly recommended to any animal lover, well done all at Castle vets.
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my mums dog. Sad times
Yes we have just moved vets to Castle Veterinary Clinic Weymouth and are very happy that we did Buddy our Westie was made so welcome and he was happy with his treatment
Just wanted to say thank you ALL for looking after Frankie (our dachshund) over the past few days. Glad you quickly diagnosed her bladder stone and operated to sort the problem. Sincerely appreciate everything.
Very professional vets have looked after our dog for years always great advice and they talk u through the costs which is helpful. Would recommend these vets to anyone.
Brilliant vets ,competitive pricing and staff are fabulous!
