The Carisbrooke Vets is a multi-branch practice offering small animal, exotic and farm services, with 24/7 in-house emergency and out-of-hours provision stated on its website. Recent reviews frequently mention a friendly, efficient team and good handling of cats and dogs (including an older cat and a nervous dog being put at ease). One review describes a cost-spreading annual plan that the owner felt worked out cheaper than paying separately for what it covers. There is also a clear negative account alleging contradictory advice about vaccine timing and fees, which the reviewer says led to extra cost and delayed neutering.
