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.

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.
Honest friendly great service and no pressuring sales techniques like some chains locally 👌
Absolutely outstanding service. All staff wonderful and the vets are incredible. Highly recommend
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my mums dog. Sad times
Always friendly and helpful, and the dog doesn't mind going there which is a bonus 👍🏻
Always there when you need them and all the staff are wonderful with the animals and their people , I couldn't ask for a better vet practice. P. S. Please include Broadway practice with this comment x
Great Veterinary Practice. Staff all very welcoming. Would definitely recommend anyone to take their Loved Pets here 🐾💖🐾
I've got a puppy who needed his vaccination, they responded very quickly
Saw us at very short notice before closing and gave very friendly and helpful service, reasonable price and would definitely recommend.
Fantastic! I can't fault at all... Looked after my cat so well and very reasonable prices
Caring, reliable veterinary practice. Very pleasant staff, well equipped surgery, cat- friendly waiting area. Recommended.
I have been using Castle Vets for many years. I've always had excellent service from kind, thoughtful and highly trained staff. My dogs love trips to the vets.
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
Couldn't praise Jeremy enough for how he handled trimming my macaws nails today. Absolutely chuffed to bits! Was very nervous about the whole thing because he can be quite temperamental when it comes to people he doesn't know but left there happy and content. Will definitely see him from now on if I ever need to.
Highly recommend, We've used this clinic for over 10 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Did a good job with looking after our dog she is back to her old self...
So caring and efficient, cannot praise the whole team enough for how well they looked after our cat, and us.
Recommended so highly, this place and its staff are all amazing!
Castle Vets took care of our dog for many years, and were incredibly kind and helpful when she reached the end of her life.
