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!
Just started taking our kitten Nimbus to this vets recently, vet instantly told us hes actually a boy 😂 Extremely friendly vet and reception staff so thankful we chose such a friendly vet. Only thing to mention is theyve got his name on file wrong as Nimba we learnt when i got an email for the cat plan 😂!
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. 👍
A very caring vet with very helpful staff. I've always managed to get an appointment quickly. Would highly recommend.
Lovely vets,so friendly. Nothing too much trouble.
They are amazing and really care about our pets!
Great service for our fur babies. Only charged for necessary treatments. Recommended
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.
Would not take my pets anywhere else. They really care for the animals and are extremely knowledgeable.
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my mums dog. Sad times
We have been using this vet practice for about 2 years now. We had three cats when we joined and they have cat surgeries and practioners. I would always take my cats here. I feel listened to and respected. And that the welfare of my cats is important. We recently had to say goodbye to one of our little cats. The care and consideration from the whole practice ( vet Ellie, nurses and reception staff) to us and our special family member was second to none
Absolutely outstanding service. All staff wonderful and the vets are incredible. Highly recommend
Known as the DoggieDocs to my jessbag of a dog, he actually walks in through the doors himself here!
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
Recommended so highly, this place and its staff are all amazing!

Very friendly. Great vets and nurses.
We couldn't have asked for a more professional and caring service from castle vets staff over the last 6 years, looking after our beloved paddy until the very end x thankyou x
Good cat friendly service. Able to go in with my cats. Would recommend on my experience so far.
Lovely, Caring and Realistically priced.
Truly caring fantastic vets, my wife and I can't thank and praise them enough, very highly recommended to any animal lover, well done all at Castle vets.
They are really good vets! They look after my dog and he even likes going to see them
Wonderful! Fitted us in fast when I was concerned about my dog. The reception staff were friendly and welcoming and the vets were gentle, caring and knowledgeable. They also didn't charge a Kings ransom which was a pleasant change from my previous vets who were not independents.
