    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.

    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.
