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!
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.
Always friendly and helpful, and the dog doesn't mind going there which is a bonus 👍🏻
Great friendly Vet Practise. Staff are always knowledgeable, caring and always seem to go the extra mile for our furry friends.
Anyone who looks after my kittens needs to be knighted
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my muns dog. Sad times
Truly caring fantastic vets, my wife and I can't thank and praise them enough, very highly recommended to any animal lover, well done all at Castle vets.
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.
Saw us at very short notice before closing and gave very friendly and helpful service, reasonable price and would definitely recommend.
Very good, kind service both to me and my pets over the years.
Friendly and attentive staff! I know that they have my cat's best interest at heart as much as we do!
The team have always been excellent with our late cat Sammy over the 18 years of his life, thank you for everything
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.
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.
Known as the DoggieDocs to my jessbag of a dog, he actually walks in through the doors himself here!
Every time we've had to use Castle everyone you come in contact with is helpful and friendly. Thank you
An excellent vets in Poundbury that we bring our cat too. The vets and staff are brilliant always a smile and a greeting whenever you visit. We now know why there is a queue waiting to register their pets.
Such a good vet. Been with them for years for both my dogs. Trust them implicitly.
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my mums dog. Sad times

Absolutely outstanding service. All staff wonderful and the vets are incredible. Highly recommend
Honest friendly great service and no pressuring sales techniques like some chains locally 👌
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
Just wanted to say thank you ALL for looking after Frankie (our dachshund) over the past few days. Glad you quickly diagnosed her bladder stone and operated to sort the problem. Sincerely appreciate everything.
1st class. Friendly understanding staff, who are genuinely concerned for welfare of all the animals they see.
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.
