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.

A good professional service
Exceptional care from the team during my Bertie's last moments. Will never forget how kind and efficient they all were.
Highly recommend, We've used this clinic for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
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.
Very friendly team who always make sure that your furry bestie is happy and healthy
Totally professional and compassionate vets made a very hard time easier with their support with our tess
1st class. Friendly understanding staff, who are genuinely concerned for welfare of all the animals they see.
Great Vets.
I am so happy to have registered my little dog with Castle vets, they have been fantastic with Flo. They really go above and
Been going there for more than 20 years with various cats. Wouldn't go anywhere else. They are brilliant
Wonderful vets and staff, kind and professional.
Communicated and were responsive, not used their services with a visit yet...
I have been using Castle Vets for many years. I've always had excellent service from kind, thoughtful and highly trained staff. My dogs love trips to the vets.
1st consultation appointment with Eva this evening and can not thank her enough , she was so welcoming to us as a family had already read through missys notes which the past vets hadn't, and gave us more advise and information on an eye issue missy is currently going through than the last 4 vets we have seen. The receptionist were all lively and welcoming and had bloods taken expecting them to be back tomo and recieved a call 15 mins after leaving with the results, can not fault any part of our appointment. Thank you so much 💓
Really caring and honest vets. Feel really confident taking our animals there.
Very friendly and helpful.
So good. So professional. Lovely service. Very happy.
I would recommend this veterinary practice to anyone . They genuinely care about the animals (our babies) over charging extortionate amounts for treatments and extra services that you don't need ! From the lovely receptionist to all of the other amazing staff the care you and your animals are given is five star absolutely !! The vets actually get down on the floor with your pets and are so friendly and minimally clinical.
They are really good vets! They look after my dog and he even likes going to see them
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.
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my muns dog. Sad times
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.
Private practice so helpful and very careing. Piece of mind.
Thank you Castle Vets. My dog had a half-yearly checkup today. The vet has just called me with the results of a blood test for a potential issue identified in the routine assessment. I'm impressed at the scrutiny, turnaround in the labwork, and the follow-up.
Still an independent practice with real affordable prices
