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!
Caring, reliable veterinary practice. Very pleasant staff, well equipped surgery, cat- friendly waiting area. Recommended.
Fantastic! I can't fault at all... Looked after my cat so well and very reasonable prices
1st class. Friendly understanding staff, who are genuinely concerned for welfare of all the animals they see.
My Nelly has had a few issues and had to have an emergency op due to eating a fish hook! She was referred by Castle to a vet hospital and it was arranged very quickly. I can't fault the team at both Dorchester Road and Poundbury at all. Reasonably priced in vet terms I think and I would highly recommend.
Amazing vets always been there for my animals especially Gill always try to have her for my fury friends she was excellent when i had to say good bye to my Joe Joe dog and now she takes care of my two I have now. All the vets i have seen have been brilliant keep up the good work team
Great Veterinary Practice. Staff all very welcoming. Would definitely recommend anyone to take their Loved Pets here 🐾💖🐾
Empathetic service from all staff members, especially date Suzanna
Very friendly team who always make sure that your furry bestie is happy and healthy
Very friendly. Great vets and nurses.
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my muns dog. Sad times
Always has the pets' best interest at heart, rather than the profit driven experience I've had at other multi national owned vetinary surgeries. Good common sense approach, kind and caring.
Still an independent practice with real affordable prices
Top Vet - very caring very friendly very helpful. Wouldn't go anywhere else
So good. So professional. Lovely service. Very happy.
So lovely and helpful. Couldn't recommend them more!
Kind, friendly and very thorough - certainly the best vets I have been to with my cats.
Top quality vets with top-notch staff. They really care about running a good and ethical business. I trust them.
These vets are the best I have used. All of the vets and staff are so friendly, caring and compassionate. We recently had to have our handsome boy put to sleep our dog and ourselves could not have been in better hands.A big thank you to all of you for everything.
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. Great vets and nurses.
Castle Vets took care of our dog for many years, and were incredibly kind and helpful when she reached the end of her life.
We are new to the area and have had nothing but kindness and professionalism from the vets
Castle Vet's lovely. Welcoming! Organized! Knowledgable! And friendly!
Always a friendly welcome at the surgery and helpful, professional advice.
They are amazing and really care about our pets!
