At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we proudly welcome families from the Southern Highlands, including many who travel from Bowral. While there are veterinary clinics in Bowral, some pet owners choose us because we provide advanced diagnostic facilities, specialist surgical services, and comprehensive care for exotic animals and small pets. From puppy and kitten vaccinations to dog and cat desexing, rabbit medicine, exotic animal care, and advanced surgery, Bowral families trust us to provide safe, thorough, and compassionate treatment for their pets.
Puppies in Bowral enjoy a mix of suburban living, large gardens, and park outings, which increases their exposure to preventable diseases. That’s why vaccination is essential. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, our puppy vaccination programs protect against parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and canine cough.
Each puppy consultation also includes:
Monitoring weight, growth, and healthy development
Parasite prevention suited to Southern Highlands conditions (fleas, ticks, worms, heartworm)
Nutrition advice for large breeds, working dogs, and small companions
Behaviour support for toilet training, chewing, and early socialisation
Gentle handling to ensure puppies develop positive associations with vet visits
Families from Bowral travel to us because they want reliable protection and practical support in raising strong, healthy puppies.
Kittens in Bowral are playful explorers, but they’re vulnerable to serious viral diseases without vaccination. Our kitten vaccination services protect against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. For outdoor cats, we also recommend FIV vaccination.
Each kitten visit also includes:
A thorough health exam (teeth, eyes, coat, digestion, weight)
Parasite prevention tailored to local risks
Advice on scratching, litter training, and enrichment
Microchipping and desexing guidance
Bowral families choose us because we provide a cat-friendly environment with detailed advice to support kittens’ long-term health.
Vaccines remain important throughout life. Families seeking adult pet vaccinations near Bowral rely on us for tailored programs suited to their pets’ lifestyles.
Dogs that attend kennels, dog parks, or grooming require kennel cough boosters.
Outdoor cats need annual vaccines to protect against viral infections.
Indoor pets may need fewer vaccinations but still benefit from yearly check-ups.
Every vaccination appointment also includes a comprehensive health exam, giving Bowral families confidence that their pets are healthy and well cared for.
Rabbits in Bowral are at risk from calicivirus (RHDV), which is common across NSW. Our rabbit vaccination programhelps protect against this deadly disease.
Each rabbit consultation also includes:
Dental and nail checks
Nutrition advice for hay-based feeding and digestive health
Housing guidance, including predator-proofing and enrichment
Parasite prevention and safe handling tips
Because rabbit-savvy vets aren’t always easy to find locally, Bowral families travel to us for expert rabbit care.
Desexing your dog is one of the most effective ways to protect their health and prevent unwanted litters. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we provide safe, professional dog desexing for Bowral families, performed in sterile theatres with advanced anaesthesia and full monitoring.
Benefits include:
Preventing pyometra and reproductive cancers in females
Reducing aggression, roaming, and urine marking in males
Supporting calmer behaviour at home
Preventing accidental breeding
Families from Bowral choose us because we provide expert surgical care paired with compassionate aftercare support.
Cats in Bowral often enjoy outdoor access, making desexing vital for preventing unwanted kittens and improving health. We recommend cat desexing at 5–6 months of age.
Our service includes:
Safe anaesthesia with continuous monitoring
Comprehensive pain relief for recovery comfort
Calm handling to reduce stress for cats
Clear aftercare instructions for owners
Bowral families trust us because we provide safe, professional surgical care with a cat-friendly approach.
We also provide exotic animal desexing for Bowral families, including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, and mice.
Benefits include:
Preventing reproductive cancers
Reducing hormonal behaviours such as spraying and aggression
Preventing accidental litters
Because exotic surgeries are delicate, Bowral families rely on us for safe, species-specific veterinary care.
Another reason Bowral families travel to us is our advanced diagnostic equipment, which includes:
Digital X-ray for bones, chest, and abdominal health
Ultrasound for pregnancy and internal organ checks
CT scanning for complex or hard-to-diagnose cases
These tools allow us to provide faster, more accurate diagnoses, ensuring pets receive the right treatment sooner.
Flat-faced breeds such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers are increasingly popular in Bowral, but they often experience breathing issues. We provide expert brachycephalic care, including:
Airway and breathing assessments
Guidance on safe exercise, weight management, and hot weather care
Surgical correction of narrowed nostrils or elongated soft palates if needed
Families from Bowral bring their flat-faced dogs to us because they want specialised, compassionate care that improves their pets’ comfort and quality of life.
We love caring for unusual pets, and many Bowral families bring us their rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, reptiles, birds, and rodents. Our services include:
Annual health checks for all species
Nutrition and husbandry support
Beak, wing, and nail trims for birds
Reptile diet and habitat guidance
Surgery and desexing for small mammals
Because exotic veterinary services are limited in the Southern Highlands, Bowral families rely on us for experienced, species-appropriate care.
When surgery is needed, Bowral families travel to us for safe, professional care. We perform routine desexing, soft tissue procedures, and advanced or emergency surgeries.
Our surgical services include:
Written estimates and clear explanations
