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.

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

Fantastic vets who really do care for your pets.They've always been more than happy to help and give advice; and the prices for visits are very good too.
Honest friendly great service and no pressuring sales techniques like some chains locally 👌
Brilliant quick service
Fantastic! I can't fault at all... Looked after my cat so well and very reasonable prices
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my muns dog. Sad times
I am so happy to have registered my little dog with Castle vets, they have been fantastic with Flo. They really go above and
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
Great friendly Vet Practise. Staff are always knowledgeable, caring and always seem to go the extra mile for our furry friends.
Thank you Giles and staff for your compassion and care of my baby girl Rosie such a sad time with such a hard decision to make but Giles gave me time to say goodbye to my bestest girl for the last 15 years. Thank you so much
Only used the vets once, it was very well organised for corona restrictions.
Still an independent practice with real affordable prices
Great service for our fur babies. Only charged for necessary treatments. Recommended
Absolutely lovely people. So caring, update you. My Pup loves them all. Have complete confidence leaving my pets with them.
As a new client bringing one dog and 2 cats for their initial appointments I have so far had only positive experiences, and have found it easy to get an appointment, easy to park, and so far have even seen the same vet each time which is nice for continuity. Reception staff are lovely, too!
Fast and efficient service, friendly.
Top Vet - very caring very friendly very helpful. Wouldn't go anywhere else
I've got a puppy who needed his vaccination, they responded very quickly
The best thing I could have done is move our dogs to the care of Castle Veterinary Clinic. They have just recently helped diagnose one of our dogs with a life threatening cancer. She is now cancer free and under the continued care of this wonderful practice. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the most friendly staff. I am confident in knowing we are with the right professionals.
Always friendly and helpful, and the dog doesn't mind going there which is a bonus 👍🏻
Wonderful! Fitted us in fast when I was concerned about my dog. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming and the vets were gentle, caring and knowledgeable. They also didn't charge a Kings ransom which was a pleasant change from my previous vets who were not independents.
Our vet for 17 years and we’ve always had great service from them. Recommended
Special thanks to the vet and nurses for looking after Molly my beloved border collie in her final hours , being with her as she past on was so important , very caring and professional team .
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.
Nice friendly staff and good service, but cost of drugs high
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.
