The Carisbrooke Vets

The Carisbrooke Vets is a multi-branch practice (with a smaller site used for quick visits and a more equipped main site) offering care for small animals, exotics, and farm animals. The website states they provide 24/7 in-house emergency and out-of-hours cover, and that they’ve been operating since the 1960s. Recent reviews repeatedly mention on-time appointments, clear explanations of treatment options, and vets handling nervous pets confidently (e.g., one cat owner noted their pet stayed calm because the vet was confident and clear, and another review highlights reassurance for worried owners).

It’s very convenient having the Freshwater site available for quick visits as well as the more equipped main site as Carrisbroke.

Well informed re choices, clearly described treatments. High cost though, but is there such a thing as a cheaper vet??? Given it's local to where we live there are no other choices anyway
