Our aim is to provide a caring, professional personalised service, that recognises the individual bond you have with your pet and works with you to try and keep your pet happy and well throughout its life.Castle Vets is a fully independent small animal veterinary practice. It is owned and managed by veterinary surgeons David Terry and Peter Jackman, both of whom have been with us for over 25 years and still work full time at the practice. Castle Vets is a large, single centre, small animal veterinary practice in central Reading. We have been on our site on Tilehurst road since 1972 and our recently rebuilt premises now includes a separate but integrated cat clinic, outstanding in-patient wards and operating theatres (including specialist veterinary surgical procedures), spacious comfortable waiting areas, 8 consulting rooms for both vet and veterinary nurse consultations, diagnostics room with x-ray, ultrasound and endoscopy equipment and a well equipped laboratory and a large private car park. We are cat friendly at Castle Vets and are proud to be the only local practice offering completely separate cat facilities, including spacious cat-only in-patient wards, operating theatre, waiting areas and consulting rooms.

The staff are just wonderful, very friendly and helpful, and they are happy to take a bit of time to explain things to you or reassure you of anything. Very highly recommended

Now the practise itself is as welcoming as the staff. Andrew really knows his stuff and the animal's welfare is paramount for him. The charges have been reduced and they now do homeopathic remedies along with the medical ones. I would never trust my animals anywhere else!

They were equally fantastic when we called them in the small hours of the morning after witnessing a cat being run over, took the cat to the vets and they saw to it. They even gave us a courtesy call the next day to update us on the cat.

This was ignored and the treatment went ahead which made no difference to our cats condition, prolonged our cats suffering and resulted in an increased vet bill. Would not use again. If you do, make sure everything is in writing and you record phone calls.
Truly wonderful. My dogs and cats have been going here for over 12 years. I now live in Overton but…read morewouldn't go anywhere else. My sister also takes all her cats and dogs there and feels the same way. All the vets are brilliant and really care about the animals. The nurses are really friendly and helpful. They have long opening hours which is incredibly useful around working hours and also do Saturday mornings for regular appointments. I definitely recommend them.

Now I'm not saying they have a nice time there, but they always see the same girl who they really seem to take to, and have always left purring no matter what they've had done. The staff are so lovely too. Recommend.

The staff are all very friendly and the vets (so far) appear to know their stuff. My only gripe is that, due to the size of the reception area, if you have a psychotic dog or something (as we do) it can cause havoc with all the other rabbits, cats etc waiting there. Frontline - as with most other vets - cost the absolute earth, so order it off t'internet.

I have small rodents and so you worry that vets are only interested in cats and dogs, but everyone here has been very good and have helped keep my pets happy and healthy. They are also willing to try new treatments and will take suggestions from me about suitable medication or treatment. Prices are reasonable and very fair (eg they don't tend to charge for a quick check up if your pet has already seen the vet for the same thing).

We have even called them up in the middle of the night with an injured bird that one of the cats have brought in and they never seem phased or troubled by this. They can be expensive if you don't have pet insurance but you know that your animal is being looked after. There is a nice little car park outside so it's not not traumatic getting your animal there and they have really helpful reception staff. Thank you Moor Cottage!
