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 open clinic, appointments and a 24 hour emergency service 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.

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

Covid safe procedures in place and all clean and bright.
Highly recommend Castle Vets . Had to call them out sadly to put my 13 yr old dog to sleep, it was done with the most loving care & respect for Bracken . They never fail in there treatment of my animals ,
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.
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
Great service
Totally professional and compassionate vets made a very hard time easier with their support with our tess
Always friendly and try to ensure you and your pet are looked after.
Independent vets surgery. Brilliant vets. Wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
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.
Always friendly and helpful, and the dog doesn't mind going there which is a bonus 👍🏻
Very pleased with treatment our cat received very kind would recommend this practice to anybody
Still an independent practice with real affordable prices
Have just registered our new pup here after the passing of our old Spaniel. Staff are friendly and ready to answer any questions. Appointments run to time and good parking outside.
Kind, friendly and very thorough - certainly the best vets I have been to with my cats.
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.
Highly recommend, We've used this clinic for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
5*’s. highly recommend them, a great team of caring professions from the reception team to the nurses and the vets...Can’t fault them. They still look after my geriatric rabbit who is still going strong thanks to their ongoing care and treatment
Very good place. They seem to be good value.
Private practice so helpful and very careing. Piece of mind.
Really good vets, gave thorough examination of my vizsla and put us at ease, thank you
Amazing care of my guinea pigs can't fault them Giles the vet was fab two weeks ago and explained everything in minute detail regarding my very small Piggie put me at ease
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
Best local vets imo brilliant with my nervous mastiff x
Honest friendly great service and no pressuring sales techniques like some chains locally 👌
We are new to the area and have had nothing but kindness and professionalism from the vets
