Absolutely fantastic. After moving from Delaware Yeovil where we didn’t want to stay, Delaware Castle Cary has been a dream. The ladies on reception are always welcoming and are just amazing, they are so happy to see animals come through the door and explain prices well and just overall brilliant. Our vet, Tim is top class. Treats my 3 pets as his own. Cannot recommend enough!!

I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and welcoming all the staff were. Obi my cockapoo is brand new to the practice, but I already feel confident that he's in safe hands. It’s such a relief to know he’ll be well cared for here.

Best veterinary practice I have ever used! The whole team are kind, compassionate and provide an optimum level of care. Their service is always fantastic and, during a recent emergency with my cat, the team were all kind, supportive and reassuring. Following a swift response and incredible standard of care, she is now back home and on the mend. I can’t thank or recommend Delaware highly enough!

We recently swapped to Delaware (castle cary) after a recommendation (with a senior spaniel) We were very impressed by the level of care and compassion towards our dog and the efforts to try and keep him in a good place and pain free. Unfortunately a curved ball knocked us all off guard and he had to then be treated for a second issue .... at every stage we felt the service was very informative and compassionate towards our dog always putting him first with no time constraints when visiting .... Unfortunately the poor little boy didnt make it and we had to say goodbye to him , Roger & Holly made a home visit and helped us through one of our saddest days with their level of compassion and professionalism. We can't thank all the staff and vets enough , we only met them briefly unfortunately. They all were so sympathetic towards our dogs needs and made us feel everything towards the end was handled with such care and compassion Thanks again ......
