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

Posted on behalf of Angela Walker Peacock and Fly. A very big thank you to David for all he's done for Fly over the last 10 years (he has done her proud). She has had a number of major problems; diagnosed and dealt with expertly and explained meticulously. Our consultations were never hurries, no matter how busy he happened to be. Katie has helped with Fly's physiotherapy and advice with how to manage her back problem, for which I am extremely grateful.

Simply the best vet I have ever encountered. We travel 25 miles as have African Pygmy Hedgehogs as not many specialists around. David has performed numerous operations that defy belief and the knowledge and care provided is second to none. We are very grateful for all their efforts

My conure Rio had an accident over the weekend and broke his leg I called and was told to come in immediately and with the fantastic care and expertise of the Vets they managed to save the leg and splint it and after 24hrs of great care they have released him back home to me. Thanks you to all the team at Piddle Valley Vets for everything you have done for Rio 👍🏻

We have to travel here but it is worth every mile. Wouldn't take our rabbit anywhere else. They treat all the animals as if they were their own and are very professional and thorough with all they do. Thank you so much we trust no one else but you

Absolutely fantastic team at Portland , from puppy checks, allergy advice and testing, a Spey, treating mastitis , and a torn off nail and quik the vets and nurses have been fantastic . Highly recommended .

Lovely people, lovely practice, with nothing but loving care and respect for your fur friends (and you). Moved here a couple of years ago and best practice I've ever dealt with. Angus and KatKat love it there.

Excellent services and such a friendly group of staff. My little dog was so relaxed he led down in the waiting room and was dragging me to get out which is a first.

Steven looked after our 2 cats at short notice and immediately gave us confidence he would take such good care of them. He was excellent and the cats ( I kitten) really enjoyed his visits. He sent photos after each visit which was really comforting to see they were ok. This was the first time we had tried having anyone come “in” to take care of them and can definitely say we will be using Weymouth Pet Care again. Totally reliable and gave us peace of mind whilst away. 2 very happy cats on our return. Easy, trustworthy and fair, affordable pet care. Highly recommend.

Steven is so friendly and accommodating. I was more than happy to trust him to look after Willow. He gave me updates everyday and I will definitely use them again.

Steven has been caring for my cats while I had a stay in hospital and upon my return too - he has gone above and beyond what was needed and always with a smile. Can't recommend him highly enough and will be using him again in the future. Update : Have now used Steven again to look after my cats while I was away on a two week holiday (June 2024) and the service was still A1 - I was sent lots of regular pics and messages on how they were - which was great.

I can’t thank Weymouth pet care enough they was amazing and definitely will be using them again. I phoned the night before to see if they had availability for my girl ruby as we wanted to do a boat trip that didn’t allow dogs and they went out of their way to take ruby for a lovely walk around Weymouth whilst we had our family boat trip. They put me at ease the minute I met them and gave ruby lots of cuddles 🥰. Thank you so so much for giving us our last day in Weymouth so special . Can’t wait to see you both again when we next visit 🥰

lovely place, kind, warm, & welcoming staff. very caring and looked after my little nervous dog so well. Thank you :)

Really friendly helpful staff. I made a mistake with the booking but they were very polite about it and bent over backwards to fit me in. They are very expensive though. Wormer and passport plus one month medication from my local vet is £92. Wormer and passport plus 2 wks medication from medivet was £130.

Excellent service and very professional. Great experience since I took my old Westie there. Recommend these guys.

Can’t rate the care and treatment high enough. Everyone so helpful and friendly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I’ve lost count of the years we’ve been with Hillside Vets. Started with our rabbit Bob who sadly had to have his life ended. Now they care for Trevor our Jack Russell X who is soon to be 13 and Daisy our Chihuahua who is 6. All the staff are kind, loving & courteous and that’s just the owners! 😂 You can tell they love animals and even though Trevor is nervous they are so kind and reassure them both so well. I would absolutely recommend Hillside. They may not be the cheapest but the care and attention they give to both pet and owner is sublime. So thank you Hillside for all that you do for my pets & for all that come your way. You are all AMAZING! 🤩 Merry furry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🎁 xxxxx❤️

Have just been to this vet for the 1st time with my kittens. The amazing vet had both kittens so relaxed. Darla had a bad start to life but sang her way through her visit. As for Drusilla she was her ever demanding self, forcing headbutt's and treats. The kitten pack is amazing with a little teddy. The calming towel provided is a great touch and works a dream. I have found this vet to be good value for money. We were not rushed through our appointment and staff members show the love they have for animals.

Hillside Vets have been absolutely fantastic so far with our puppy. We first took her there at 13wks, and have been there for several visits since then as part of their brilliant Pet Plan. Our pup loves coming here and can't get our of the car fast enough! The staff give so much love and attention to our little girl, and we feel really at ease and confident in using their services for many years to come. The staff are knowledgeable, caring, warm, and just can't give enough every time, no matter how big or small our query may be. Their social media team is also amazing and we love seeing the behind-the-scenes on their Facebook posts! What a fantastic local vet clinic with such a great team.

Olaf just loves Keith…she never gets stressed with him. The entire team are really helpful and always do everything possible for clients and their pets. I would highly recommend

Absolutely brilliant service. Called this morning to make an appointment for my dog who was poorly whilst we were on holiday. Got an appointment for 8.30 next day. Then another call later to say they had a cancellation at 2.30. Vet was wonderful and after an examination prescribed tablets to help him. Thank you so much it's a weight off my mind knowing he has been seen and treatment started.

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

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.

Excellent Vets , Nurses & receptionist ! Thank you from Orla

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

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 has the pets' best interest at heart, rather than the profit driven experience I've had at other multi national owned vetinary surgeries. Good common sense approach, kind and caring.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had to say goodnight to our gorgeous girl Mimi last month, after 14yrs together. Medivet Dorchester was our 24hr emergency practice and saw Mimi within the hour Rita the duty vet was so compassionate. Rita tried her hardest to help Mimi and made sure we were fully informed of all possibilities. We unfortunately had to make the hard decision to say goodnight. Rita and the staff allowed us to spend the time to say our good nights before she left us and to stay during and after her leaving us. We cannot thank Rita and her team for all they did for us on that distressing evening. Our faith in the staff led us to leave our then practice and register our dogs with Dorchester Medivet
