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.

Reviews
Meet just a few of our happy owners and their pets!
Castle Vets took care of our dog for many years, and were incredibly kind and helpful when she reached the end of her life.
Kind, friendly and very thorough - certainly the best vets I have been to with my cats.
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
Would be nice if a bench was provided in the car park to sit on. As our appointment was running late and we weren't in a car because Maisie Pearce doesn't like getting in cars. Staff were excellent though.
The team have always been excellent with our late cat Sammy over the 18 years of his life, thank you for everything
Brilliant vets ,competitive pricing and staff are fabulous!
I am so happy to have registered my little dog with Castle vets, they have been fantastic with Flo. They really go above and
Only used the vets once, it was very well organised for corona restrictions.
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.
Such wonderful professional service.Very sympathetic towards me and my dog when I had to let her go.All staff included especially when I had ring and book my dog on, thank you.
Highly recommend Castle Vets . Had to call them out sadly to put my 13 yr old dog to sleep, it was done with the most loving care & respect for Bracken . They never fail in there treatment of my animals ,
Really caring and honest vets. Feel really confident taking our animals there.
So lovely and helpful. Couldn't recommend them more!
Took my cat in as an emergency as she had suspected eaten a poisoned mouse and seemed really unwell. The vet gave me two options but advised me on the cheaper one being that it was pretty obvious what she had done. He gave her an injection and a few days later she was back to normal. Prices are very reasonable and the desk staff were very pleasant and helpful.
Fantastic vets, caring, welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Take both my cats here and would highly recommend.
They are really good vets! They look after my dog and he even likes going to see them
My dog mojo had to have some teeth taken out yesterday. The staff and vets are an incredible caring dedicated animal lovingteam .. with all animals whole health being the whole heart of all their work and passion . Thankyou for making mojo pain free and happy again . And putting his worried mums mind at rest when I had to leave him . He is doing incredibly well the morning after . Thankyou so much .
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.
Great service for our fur babies. Only charged for necessary treatments. Recommended
Just picking up flea treatment for our 7 month old kittens. But very friendly and willing to chat and show interest in what happened to our cat who died, which I appreciated.
A good professional service
Very friendly. Great vets and nurses.
Independent vets surgery. Brilliant vets. Wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
Very friendly, kept everything safe with distancing but still had that personal touch.
