About us

Your local independent and trusted vet

Our practice was founded by Rip Kirby in 1992 with the ethos of being a friendly and approachable place to bring your pet. We are still committed to this, whilst providing the best possible care and treatment for all your pets. The practice remains independently owned by the vets who work in it, the only one in the area now. Being independent ensures the practice employees are motivated only by making pets better, not by keeping shareholders happy.

Our Practices:

We're a gold standard Cat Friendly Clinic

We make an extra special effort with all our feline patients, as we know how upsetting a trip to the vets can be for them. We're proud to have attained the Gold Standard Cat Friendly Clinic award, which means your cat is in safe hands.

We have also partnered with Virtual Veterinary Specialists to ensure almost every problem imaginable can be dealt with right here at Castle Vets. We also offer a monthly budgeting plan and provide our own out of hours care to all our registered patients.

Reviews

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

Recommended so highly, this place and its staff are all amazing!

Elliot Stone

I've got a puppy who needed his vaccination, they responded very quickly

Johanne Spark

We have had 2 late night accidents resulting in an off duty call and requiring subsequent surgical procedures each time. All of the staff were so reassuring and looked after our dogs with such care. One of our dogs, Izzy had to return for dressing changes once every few days. The care she received was in my opinion better than in any human hospital, using a mixture of modern and natural techniques. The bill was amazingly reasonable too. Thank you all so much

Tina Lancaster

Still an independent practice with real affordable prices

Lollie Lou

Great Veterinary Practice. Staff all very welcoming. Would definitely recommend anyone to take their Loved Pets here 🐾💖🐾

Gracie-Lou Simmonds

My 16 yr old cat became suddenly very ill, I rang Castle vets and I saw us the same day. They were incredibly caring and reassuring towards my pets needs. Reception staff are also amazing and very friendly. I will never take any of my pets any where else. Thank you Castle vets.

Gillian May

Couldn't praise Jeremy enough for how he handled trimming my macaws nails today. Absolutely chuffed to bits! Was very nervous about the whole thing because he can be quite temperamental when it comes to people he doesn't know but left there happy and content. Will definitely see him from now on if I ever need to.

Anyone who looks after my kittens needs to be knighted

Steven Barsky

A good professional service

David McCauley

As usual, excellent service. Little waiting around and dog untraumatised. Best vet I've ever had.

Mandie Fletcher

We couldn't have asked for a more professional and caring service from castle vets staff over the last 6 years, looking after our beloved paddy until the very end x thankyou x

Sam Taylor

Absolutely lovely people. So caring, update you. My Pup loves them all. Have complete confidence leaving my pets with them.

Lue Wellman

Such a good vet. Been with them for years for both my dogs. Trust them implicitly.

Linsey Binks

Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!

lisa holmes

Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my mums dog. Sad times

fiona s

Took my cat in as an emergency as she had suspected eaten a poisoned mouse and seemed really unwell. The vet gave me two options but advised me on the cheaper one being that it was pretty obvious what she had done. He gave her an injection and a few days later she was back to normal. Prices are very reasonable and the desk staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Kate Knight

Did lots of homework about vets before relocating to Weymouth and Castle Vets came out top for us. We made the right choice because the vets here have been superb when needing to visit with the feline member of our family.

Big Bob

Great service with very experienced staff. Always greeted with a friendly smile.

Andy Horne

Honest friendly great service and no pressuring sales techniques like some chains locally 👌

Adam Lapworth

Most caring vets I have ever known...my boy was seriously ill and I couldnt have asked for better care for him...unfortunately he lost the fight but not without vets pulling out all the stops to save him....they let me visit and stay with him for hours while he was still here and after

sharon Price

Friendly and attentive staff! I know that they have my cat's best interest at heart as much as we do!

Noemi Melis

Very good, kind service both to me and my pets over the years.

Theresa Newton

Always friendly and helpful, and the dog doesn't mind going there which is a bonus 👍🏻
