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.

We have highly trained and experienced staff who will work with you to keep your pet in the best of health. We offer a full range of veterinary services, preventative health care, consultations, in-house diagnostic testing, imaging, and surgery. We have also partnered with Virtual Veterinary Specialists to ensure almost every problem imaginable can be dealt with right here at Castle Vets. We also offer a monthly budgeting plan and provide our own out of hours care to all our registered patients.

Many clients have been with us years and we consider them old friends, but we are always happy to welcome new faces, paws, tails and whiskers! Please do not hesitate to contact us about any matter big or small.

Meet just a few of our happy owners and their pets!

Fantastic! I can't fault at all... Looked after my cat so well and very reasonable prices
Brilliant quick service
I am so happy to have registered my little dog with Castle vets, they have been fantastic with Flo. They really go above and
Very friendly team who always make sure that your furry bestie is happy and healthy
Fast and efficient service, friendly.
Very good vets and brilliant staff
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.
Lovely people friendly service
Lovely people friendly service
So caring and efficient, cannot praise the whole team enough for how well they looked after our cat, and us.
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
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 💓
Very friendly, kept everything safe with distancing but still had that personal touch.
Kind, friendly and very thorough - certainly the best vets I have been to with my cats.
Absolutely lovely people. So caring, update you. My Pup loves them all. Have complete confidence leaving my pets with them.
Lovely, Caring and Realistically priced.
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
As usual, excellent service. Little waiting around and dog untraumatised. Best vet I've ever had.
Highly recommend, We've used this clinic for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Only used the vets once, it was very well organised for corona restrictions.
We have had 2 late night accidents resulting in an off duty call and requiring subsequent surgical procedures each time. All of the staff were so reassuring and looked after our dogs with such care. One of our dogs, Izzy had to return for dressing changes once every few days. The care she received was in my opinion better than in any human hospital, using a mixture of modern and natural techniques. The bill was amazingly reasonable too. Thank you all so much
They are amazing and really care about our pets!
Did lots of homework about vets before relocating to Weymouth and Castle Vets came out top for us. We made the right choice because the vets here have been superb when needing to visit with the feline member of our family.
Always a friendly welcome at the surgery and helpful, professional advice.
Really caring and honest vets. Feel really confident taking our animals there.
