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.

Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
Friendly staff and very helpful.
I have recently changed vets and I'm happy to recommend the excellent compassionate and thoughtful service my pets have received. From the lovely caring receptionists to equally caring and competent vets I am most impressed. I initially thought that this particular veterinary practice would be expensive but have discovered that the prices have been very reasonable and compare favourably. Thank you Ellie, Lucy and Kelly, you are doing a great job!
Great service for our fur babies. Only charged for necessary treatments. Recommended
As usual, excellent service. Little waiting around and dog untraumatised. Best vet I've ever had.
Castle Vets took care of our dog for many years, and were incredibly kind and helpful when she reached the end of her life.
Very professional vets. Treated my dog with great kindness and compassion on his final visit. Thank you
Very friendly team who always make sure that your furry bestie is happy and healthy
Anyone who looks after my kittens needs to be knighted
Very satisfied with the service i recieved from castle vets.Would recommend to any one to take there.
Absolutely outstanding service. All staff wonderful and the vets are incredible. Highly recommend
Special thanks to the vet and nurses for looking after Molly my beloved border collie in her final hours , being with her as she past on was so important , very caring and professional team .
Brilliant vets ,competitive pricing and staff are fabulous!
Good vets, they were really caring when we had to put down my muns dog. Sad times
I would recommend this veterinary practice to anyone . They genuinely care about the animals (our babies) over charging extortionate amounts for treatments and extra services that you don't need ! From the lovely receptionist to all of the other amazing staff the care you and your animals are given is five star absolutely !! The vets actually get down on the floor with your pets and are so friendly and minimally clinical.
Fantastic vets, caring, welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Take both my cats here and would highly recommend.
Lovely kind staff. Great facilities.
Thank you Castle Vets. My dog had a half-yearly checkup today. The vet has just called me with the results of a blood test for a potential issue identified in the routine assessment. I'm impressed at the scrutiny, turnaround in the labwork, and the follow-up.
Wouldn’t take my cat anywhere else. Caring and professional. Not sure Moo would agree!
Our vet for 17 years and we’ve always had great service from them. Recommended
