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'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.

Reviews
Meet just a few of our happy owners and their pets!
Always get good service and the pets are well cared for, not that they enjoy the visits mind 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
Known as the DoggieDocs to my jessbag of a dog, he actually walks in through the doors himself here!
Good cat friendly service. Able to go in with my cats. Would recommend on my experience so far.
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
Fast and efficient service, friendly.
Kind friendly caring staffAffordable and flexible with appointments.Took our cat willow there and they kept her so calm you can really tell all the staff really care about the animals there treating and caring for.Would definitely recommend them to anyone in weymouth or dorchester looking to register their pet for a vet.
What a great team, from initial telephone conversation to my dogs operation - consistency in professionalism and customer experience 10/10. Would highly recommend.Thank you to both Weymouth and Dorchester ❤️
5* service from reception to consultation room.Fern my springer had a tough time for about a week or so and she's now doing great, I cant thank them enough.They kept me reassured at all times and made the whole experience a whole lot easier.Vets arnt shy of a telephone call to help assist from home rather than calling you in to the practice just for the sake of the consultation fees, unlike other vets I've previously used.Reception are really friendly and helpful.Alice and Star are the two names that stood out the most for me, as these guys dealt with me the most but the rest of the team I spoke to are equally as professional and friendly.One happy fern and 8 even happier puppies
Honest friendly great service and no pressuring sales techniques like some chains locally 👌
Independent vets surgery. Brilliant vets. Wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
I can safely say this is the best vets ive taken my dog too, and ive tried them all. Fantastic staff, the vet doesn't make you feel rushed and explains things in detail to make sure you know what choices of treatment your pet has. 100% recommend this vets for your fur babies.

A very caring vet with very helpful staff. I've always managed to get an appointment quickly. Would highly recommend.
Such a good vet. Been with them for years for both my dogs. Trust them implicitly.
a loving, caring, passionate and hardworking team....the animals are treated like their own would be...time is dedicated to each individual client and their pets and they work so hard behind the scene......awesome team.....rock on.👍👍👍
Always amazing service. Quick & swift action removed a 2.5 cm piece of hawthorn from my dogs foot! 😬😬😬 Great vets, highly recommend. 🐕😻🐕😻
Friendly knowledgeable staff, very caring and efficient. Highly recommend
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
Our cat has used this place for a good couple of years. He hates it. I don't think that's a reflection on the quality of service, he just doesn't like being checked over. The staff have been lovely. I think their charges are reasonable. I'm sure the cat will continue to use them all of his medical needs.
Very good vets and brilliant staff
