The Best Veterinary Cares in Milton Abbas, Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

Very caring and friendly staff, easy to fix an appointment, we are very happy with them. Easy to reach, with lot of parking just in front of the surgery. Good opening hours.

Staff are friendly, place is clean and modern. Some of the vets do a better job then others. Very expensive consulting fee, but it is owned now by Independent Vetcare Ltd and they are all about profit. Having work done at the moment which could mean fees going up. Shop around is your best better.

Excellent Vets , Nurses & receptionist ! Thank you from Orla

more than happy with our yearly check up and home for a good snooze ❤️

These vets are the best I have used. All of the vets and staff are so friendly, caring and compassionate. We recently had to have our handsome boy put to sleep our dog and ourselves could not have been in better hands. A big thank you to all of you for everything.

Always amazing service. Quick & swift action removed a 2.5 cm piece of hawthorn from my dogs foot! 😬😬😬 Great vets, highly recommend. 🐕😻🐕😻

Exceptional Veterinary Practice. Although I have been a client for many years, my dog Jack seldom needs care. Recently however he was suffering a gland problem.. Jack is an imported rescue and the BVA recommend a safeguarding procedure (blood test) prior to any surgery in such cases due to possible Brucellosis infection. I was uncertain of the benefits, but was able to have a practical and sensible discussion with Giles, beforehand Jack had the procedure under sedation & Giles whipped out a loose back tooth too. Jack is not insured, but I was given an estimate of cost at our initial consultation which matched our final invoice. Thank you Giles, it seems to have done the trick and Jack has forgiven you (almost!)

The team have always been excellent with our late cat Sammy over the 18 years of his life, thank you for everything

A very good vets overall as we have had no issues with the service. The staff are very helpful and friendly. 10 out of 10

I cannot express how grateful I am for the emergency help I was given for my dog. Great care was taken and concern shown. My dog is not in the clear yet but with the excellent help I am receiving I am confident we shall get there. Thank you.

My dog was spayed yesterday, as you can imagine I was very anxious. The nurse was excellent she explained exactly what was going to happen, she let me know when my dog came round from the operation and when I could collect her. The nurse brought her out to me and even carried her to the car. I cannot praise this nurse enough the operation went well and me dog is recovering well, so thank you to the vet and many thanks to all the staff. I can't recommend this practice enough especially after the problem with my last vet. Thank you

Highly recommend using this practice

Fully explained options and very helpful . Lovely vet

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.

My 16 yr old cat became suddenly very ill, I rang Castle vets and I saw us the same day. They were incredibly caring and reassuring towards my pets needs. Reception staff are also amazing and very friendly. I will never take any of my pets any where else. Thank you Castle vets.

My Nelly has had a few issues and had to have an emergency op due to eating a fish hook! She was referred by Castle to a vet hospital and it was arranged very quickly. I can't fault the team at both Dorchester Road and Poundbury at all. Reasonably priced in vet terms I think and I would highly recommend.

Very nice practice, very nice vet team, however due to unforeseen difficulties with our dog, which resulted in lots of pain, bleeding & eventually another emergency vet followed by an out of county referral to a wound specialist. Over the last 3 weeks. Costing us so much more than our own insurance limit. He is still not out of the woods yet. Despite one of the team not being too concerned about our dog’s condition when his lower front legs began to swell & his abdomen began to show signs of what turned into necrosis of his skin, one week after initial unprecedented dog bite. We are optimistic.

Needed an appointment quickly for my cat and Sian was excellent. A really calm and efficient visit. Two days later and doing really well. Thankyou from Mica.

Staff are always very friendly and listen to any concerns that I have, genuinely listen! My gorgeous boy isn't afraid of visiting here as he always gets such a lovely welcome and of course the complimentary treat! Highly recommended this wonderful practice in Beaminster!

Emergency out-of-hours service. Staff lovely and immediately took my dog to examine and then informed us of possible causes. To be truthful we thought we had lost her! Clean environment. Just one opinion, our dog was not insured and final bill was horrendous after a 12 hour stay overnight. Next day we picked her up to take to our normal Vets. I know you cannot put a price on your animal's health but can understand why so many people dump pets as they can't afford the cost of Veterinary fees nor the insurance. Thank goodness for credit cards but we will be paying for this treatment for the next year or so.

If you’re ever worried about your pet out of hours this is the place to take them. Receptionist was so patient and lovely with me, as I was crying over the phone. Upon arrival she was so nice and understood that our staffy Izzy was nervous of dogs and arranged for the vet to collect us from the car. The vet took decisive action and was upfront and totally honest about costs, chances of survival and what would be best for us. He gave our staffy a dose of steroids that no doubt got her through the weekend ready for our usual vets on Monday morning. She has since been diagnosed with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, and she is incredibly poorly. We’re still not sure if she will pull through, but the vet was also very honest about a blood transfusion and the cost of at least £5000. He put our minds at rest in that we are doing everything we can and he saved her little life over that weekend for sure. The charge was very reasonable, which was on a Sunday with steroids, antibiotics and anti sickness. So so glad we took a chance on them. Thank you so much and thank you for being human, we have found other vets, especially emergency ones quite the opposite.

Excellent service at a time anxieties were high. Calm, friendly staff. My dog was quite relaxed with the staff, most of the time. Reception was clean and tidy with lots of information. We were kept informed of the reason for delay in seeing vet straight way. If my dog is happy, then so am I.

My 15 year old cat, who we already knew had an ongoing illness, suddenly became much worse today. Being a Sunday and tomorrow Bank Holiday Monday, I was referred to Bournemouth/Wimborne “Vets Now” Emergency Hospital. They were wonderful! Yes, they were busy with many incoming emergencies but that was to be expected. After a while we were seen by an extremely compassionate vet who made a examination of Bamboo and came to the same conclusion, euthanasia was needed to avoid any further suffering. The whole process was explained clearly and without fuss which I appreciated. Medication was prepared and we proceeded to let Boo-cat go gently and peacefully to sleep. I put all future arrangements in the vets hands, as individual cremation and return of his ashes could be arranged at the same time. When you first take on responsibility for the life of an animal you hope for fun and happiness together for many years. The happiness you gain from their companionship and trust has to be repaid at the end of life too, by being aware of their pain and giving them a peaceful end to a life well lived. A huge “Thank You” to everyone at ‘Vets Now’ Wimborne this evening, who cared so well for me and for my lovely black cat who was such a good boy for so long. Good memories Bamboo. Be at peace xx

Excellent veterinary care, undertook emergency surgery on our naughty stone eating Labrador after having been referred from another surgery, you saved his life. Thank you to the whole Friars Moor team 🥰

Need an appointment for my King Charles Spaniel, as she seemed in a lot of distress today. Got an appointment for this morning. Very friendly staff, my dog enjoyed the visit and seems a lot more comfortable. So I’d like to say thank you for your help and support
