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

Covid safe procedures in place and all clean and bright.
Wonderful vets and staff, kind and professional.
Known as the DoggieDocs to my jessbag of a dog, he actually walks in through the doors himself here!
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
Such wonderful professional service.Very sympathetic towards me and my dog when I had to let her go.All staff included especially when I had ring and book my dog on, thank you.
Been going there for more than 20 years with various cats. Wouldn't go anywhere else. They are brilliant
I am so happy to have registered my little dog with Castle vets, they have been fantastic with Flo. They really go above and
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.
Good care of our animals
So lovely and helpful. Couldn't recommend them more!
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.
Always get good service and the pets are well cared for, not that they enjoy the visits mind you...
I stopped to pick up a wounded hedgehog this morning from the road in Charminster and drove it strait to Castle Vets being the nearest and near where I work.Having never been there before and walking in with this little hedgehog in a bad state the lady I dealt with, Amanda, was so kind, friendly and empathetic.She immediately took him to a nurse to be looked at and took my details to keep me informed as to his condition which she did later that morning.I am so grateful and impressed.Thank you Amanda and Castle Vets team!
Absolutely the best. Looked after our best boy Jake for nearly 14 years and were always kind, compassionate and supportive. All round lovely team of people.
So good. So professional. Lovely service. Very happy.
Highly recommend, We've used this clinic for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
I am so impressed with this Vets. Giles was particularly helpful, calm and patient with our many questions regarding our new dog. He was informative, kind and seemed to genuinely have the time of day (which from past experience is rare). The reception staff were courteous and helpful and we signed up for their monthly plan which started straight away with flea and worm treatment included. We are really happy customers and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Castle Vets to any other pet owner. Thank you!
Would not take my pets anywhere else. They really care for the animals and are extremely knowledgeable.
Great service
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
Still an independent practice with real affordable prices
Good cat friendly service. Able to go in with my cats. Would recommend on my experience so far.
Very pleased with treatment our cat received very kind would recommend this practice to anybody
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.
Lovely vets,so friendly. Nothing too much trouble.
