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.

Top quality vets with top-notch staff. They really care about running a good and ethical business. I trust them.
Highly recommend, We've used this clinic for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Always pleasant. No trouble getting an appointment.
Lovely people friendly service

Did a good job with looking after our dog she is back to her old self...
Have just registered our new pup here after the passing of our old Spaniel. Staff are friendly and ready to answer any questions. Appointments run to time and good parking outside.
Excellent vets, frendly and helpful staff, highly recommended for all your pets needs.
So lovely and helpful. Couldn't recommend them more!
I've got a puppy who needed his vaccination, they responded very quickly
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
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
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.
Had to say goodbye to our friend and the service we received from all staff , from reception to Giles was amazing.Thank you
Very friendly, kept everything safe with distancing but still had that personal touch.
Very friendly. Great vets and nurses.
They are really good vets! They look after my dog and he even likes going to see them
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!
Couldn't praise Jeremy enough for how he handled trimming my macaws nails today. Absolutely chuffed to bits! Was very nervous about the whole thing because he can be quite temperamental when it comes to people he doesn't know but left there happy and content. Will definitely see him from now on if I ever need to.
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.
Yes we have just moved vets to Castle Veterinary Clinic Weymouth and are very happy that we did Buddy our Westie was made so welcome and he was happy with his treatment
Helped us recapture cat when basket broke open outside!
Very friendly. Great vets and nurses.
Really good vets, gave thorough examination of my vizsla and put us at ease, thank you
