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

Meet just a few of our happy owners and their pets!
Had to say goodbye to our friend and the service we received from all staff , from reception to Giles was amazing.Thank you
Covid safe procedures in place and all clean and bright.
I cannot possibly explain with words how amazing this veterinary clinic is, it was our first time going there and its also the first time I've ever felt just purly listened too and not pushed to do anything I wouldnt be comfortable with for my dog. I feel they genuinely want the best your your animals, to the point where they want to make sure there is an infection before just giving antibiotics, which other vets I've been too would have just prescribed them regardless. I cant express how much this helped me relax, and my dog also enjoyed the experience and got lots of lovely hellos and treats.Truly I feel over the moon that this is our vets!I am feeling so indescribably happy with my experience and I couldnt recommend them enough.
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my mums dog. Sad times
I have been with Castle vets for nearly 20 years and I've never had a problem with them. Been there recently and like new renovations. 👍
What an amazing service from the vetinarian, who looked after our dog while on holiday. He was very caring of both the dog and us.If we lived in the area, we would use this practice for all our dogs 🐕Thank you. Well deserved 5stars.
Private practice so helpful and very careing. Piece of mind.
Helped us recapture cat when basket broke open outside!
1st class. Friendly understanding staff, who are genuinely concerned for welfare of all the animals they see.
Known as the DoggieDocs to my jessbag of a dog, he actually walks in through the doors himself here!
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.
Only used the vets once, it was very well organised for corona restrictions.
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.
Every time we've had to use Castle everyone you come in contact with is helpful and friendly. Thank you

So caring and efficient, cannot praise the whole team enough for how well they looked after our cat, and us.
Great Veterinary Practice. Staff all very welcoming. Would definitely recommend anyone to take their Loved Pets here 🐾💖🐾
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.
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.
So lovely and helpful. Couldn't recommend them more!
