Best Vets in Launceston – Complete Local Guide

Castle Veterinary Group Limited is an independent practice that (per its website) has provided veterinary care for over 100 years and offers 24-hour veterinary care. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention being able to get help quickly—such as last‑minute emergency assistance for a cat and short‑notice appointments including over the Christmas period—as well as the team being patient with nervous dogs (including handling a dog that needed a muzzle). A small number of reviewers report concerns, including feeling pushed toward unnecessary treatments and finding the clinic “a little cold of emotion” during difficult visits.

Launceston Vets4Pets Ltd operates under the Vets4Pets brand (the website text describes the wider network as “locally owned”). Based on the information available, this clinic handles routine consultations as well as urgent problems, with multiple reviews describing same‑day help for pets that were unwell or injured. Owners specifically mention the team stabilising a kitten after a head injury and coordinating referral to a specialist, treating a severe salivary gland infection in a dog, and providing compassionate support during euthanasia appointments. Several reviewers also describe proactive communication, including a next‑day follow‑up call after treatment.

Glebe Veterinary Surgery is an independent small-animal practice (established 2004) and is RCVS accredited. The website highlights in-house physiotherapy and pain-focused therapies (laser therapy, massage/pain clinics), alongside routine care like vaccinations and neutering, and it states the practice provides emergency care. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention Orla by name, say the team is efficient and supportive, and one reviewer describes the practice as “not inclined to over investigate” while still referring pets to specialists when needed.
