Castle Vet Hospital - Reading

I took my very ill budgie to see Dr Agata Witowska because he had stopped eating. Another vet had already diagnosed the problem and given treatment, but he had become unable to eat. It was very clear that she understood budgies well, and the way she interacted with him was kind and respectful, loving and knowledgeable. He perked right up when we got into the vet, but she was able to tell immediately that this was him masking his illness. She gave us some formula food and an anti-nausea medication. I was a bit dubious about this at first, but she was spot on with her recommendation, because after giving it, he really perked up, tried to eat and began flying around - all after at least a day where all he could do was lie still in our hands. Sadly he crashed into something, hurt himself and died in the night, but it was clear that she had given him just the medication he needed. I'd definitely recommend her and would go back to see her again if we needed it.

I visited castle vets for the first time as no other vet could figure out what was going on with my guinea pigs eye. Reception is polite and accomodative as we were slightly late. The vet, Agatha, is incredible. She is very positive and knowledgable. She gave us a diagnosis the moment we walked in, whilst providing a detailed explanation to understand what we need to do. She didnt rush the consultation, altough we were late and she thoroughly checked my guinea pigs to ensure they are perfectly health. In addition she had carefully reviewed the footage i sent to the clinics inbox in advance. Thank you Agatha and to the rest of the team for putting our mind at ease for the two little ones after nearly a year.

A complete, considerate and compassionate service. Our family cat was bought in after a RTA, Denise at reception was so kind and empathetic, giving us her time and information for clarity. They accommodated us in being able to see and say goodbye to our pet, with lovely nurse Ana giving us that space. We even got a cute little bottle with some of his fur, which we now get to hold on to :) Thank you for taking such good care of Harry and ourselves, by being so kind and considerate, you gave us closure and comfort x

Great people who seem to care about our dog and work around his behaviours and our lifestyles. Very thorough and thoughtful people. Plus you can see our boys handsome face on instagram.

I’ve been bringing my pets to Castle Vets for a while now, and I’m always impressed by the level of care they provide. What really makes a difference for me is how confident I feel bringing in my exotic pets—they treat rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles with the same attention and expertise as cats and dogs. It’s clear the team genuinely cares, and they take the time to explain everything so you never feel rushed. On top of that, their pricing is very fair for the quality of service you get. It’s reassuring to know I can give my pets the best possible care without worrying about huge bills. Every visit leaves me feeling grateful to have such a supportive and knowledgeable practice nearby.

Have been a client at Castle Vets for many years. Moved to this Practice in order for our lab to receive care with Mr Terry, a fabulous vet, who always put Bailey at the centre of everything he did. Although I was very sorry when this vet left, I am so grateful that we now have Katy to care for our current dog, Freddie and me! As well as being an excellent and professional clinican, who always offers sensible and pragmatic care and advice, I feel very thankful that she is just so lovely with Freddie and kind to me. We care for our pets (family !) so much that managing to do right by them, isn't always without it's challenges! Having Katy's care and support is priceless! Thank you Katy and Castle Vets.

Our golden retriever has just had a major surgery on her knee and all staff have been incredibly sweet , supportive and professional. I have been with Castle Vets for many years and every time I am amazed with their professionalism and support. I cannot thank them enough for looking after our dogs so well!

We had an emergency visit, out of hours, bank holiday. And they were fantastic. Our little dog had helped herself to cooked BBQ chicken bones and after treatment was bouncing around as if nothing had happened. Great service, and our little precious dog was totally back to normal.
