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

Reviews
Meet just a few of our happy owners and their pets!
Highly recommend, We've used this clinic for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
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.
As usual, excellent service. Little waiting around and dog untraumatised. Best vet I've ever had.
I wanted to thank you for your incredibly responsive out-of-hours service yesterday. It very likely saved my dog's life. Your quick action prevented a serious and potentially life-threatening deterioration in his condition. Casper has been a patient since he was a puppy, and we've always received outstanding care. Thank you so much.
Very good vets and brilliant staff
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
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.
Independent vets surgery. Brilliant vets. Wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
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. 👍
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.
Such a good vet. Been with them for years for both my dogs. Trust them implicitly.

Friendly staff and very helpful.
Brilliant vets ,competitive pricing and staff are fabulous!
Anyone who looks after my kittens needs to be knighted
All our cats are registered here. Compared to two other veterinarians in Dorchester, we find these the best. A little bit more expensive, but they do have our full confidence.
