About

The Carisbrooke Vets is a VetPartners practice serving the Isle of Wight from branches in Newport, Sandown and Freshwater. The practice treats small animals, exotics and farm animals, and operates its own in-house 24-hour emergency and out-of-hours service.

Established since the 1960s, the practice has a long history of veterinary care on the island. Having multiple branches across the Isle of Wight gives it broad geographic coverage, and the provision of round-the-clock emergency care from its own team rather than an external provider is a notable feature for an island practice.

Very helpful friendly veterinary surgery. I have been using it for years. My animals have always been well looked after.

This was our first visit with our new rescue dog, Billie. We were made to feel welcome by the receptionist and the vet could not have been kinder. He had a genuine interest in our dog and put us all at ease.

The whole team at the Carisbrooke Vets are always so friendly and helpful and the level of care they offer is second to none. We take our 15 year old tabby Hobbes to the Sandown clinic and they’re lovely with him. They also offer a very helpful plan that spreads the cost of treatment across the year and (amazingly, given what a rip-off this sort of thing usually is) actually works out cheaper than the cost of what it covers. I never hesitate to recommend them to other pet owners.
