Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day🌈

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day is observed on August 28th every year and is a day dedicated to honouring and remembering pets that have passed away.

The loss of a much-loved pet can have a devastating effect on your life in various ways. Feelings of intense grief, loneliness, bewilderment and guilt may even affect your health and wellbeing. Several of our staff members are trained pet bereavement counsellors and are here to help you prepare, manage and adjust to the loss of your beloved animal. This may be when your animal has….

• A life-threatening illness
• A terminal illness
• Died suddenly
• Quality of life issues
• Been lost or stolen
• Suffered a traumatic injury
• To reluctantly be given up

If you are struggling to come to terms with the loss of a pet, then please speak with a member of the Castle Vets Team. No one should face the pain of losing a pet alone.

Our Story

Founded in the early 1880's Castle Veterinary Group Limited has been providing veterinary care for pets and animals in the Launceston area for over 100 years.

In 1997 the practice moved from Exeter Street to the current purpose designed premises in a converted warehouse on the Pennygillam Industrial Estate.

Our aim is to provide the highest standard of veterinary care for both pets and farm animals in our local area that stretches from Plymouth to Bude and from Bodmin moor to Dartmoor.

We have a dedicated pet veterinary practice as well as an established and renowned farm practice.
