At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we proudly welcome families from across the Blue Mountains and Central West, including many who travel from Lithgow. While there are veterinary clinics in Lithgow, some families choose us because we provide advanced diagnostic facilities, specialist surgical services, and experienced care for exotic pets and small animals. From puppy and kitten vaccinations to dog and cat desexing, rabbit medicine, exotic animal care, and advanced surgery, Lithgow families know their pets receive safe, thorough, and compassionate treatment with us.
Puppies in Lithgow often grow up in large backyards, farms, or bushland settings, which increases their exposure to disease risks. That’s why vaccination is essential. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, our puppy vaccination programsprotect against parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and canine cough.
Each puppy visit also includes:
Monitoring weight, growth, and development
Parasite prevention tailored to regional and bushland environments (fleas, ticks, worms, heartworm)
Nutrition advice for working dogs, large breeds, and smaller companions
Behaviour support for toilet training, chewing, and early socialisation
Calm handling to ensure puppies have positive early vet experiences
Families from Lithgow travel to us for both preventative care and professional advice to support raising healthy, confident dogs.
Kittens in Lithgow are curious and playful but vulnerable to viral infections without vaccination. Our kitten vaccination services protect against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. For cats that roam outdoors, we also recommend FIV vaccination.
Each kitten visit also includes:
A full health exam (teeth, coat, eyes, digestion, weight)
Parasite prevention suited to rural and suburban living
Behaviour advice for scratching, litter training, and enrichment
Microchipping and guidance on desexing

Vaccines remain essential throughout adulthood. Families seeking adult pet vaccinations near Lithgow rely on us for tailored, lifestyle-specific programs.
Working and farm dogs need ongoing protection against kennel cough and core diseases.
Outdoor cats require annual boosters to stay safe from viral infections.
Indoor pets may require fewer vaccines but still benefit from yearly health exams.
Every vaccination visit also includes a complete health check, helping Lithgow families safeguard their pets’ long-term wellbeing.
Rabbits in Lithgow are vulnerable to calicivirus (RHDV), which is widespread across NSW. Our rabbit vaccination program protects against this deadly disease.
At each rabbit appointment, we also:
Check teeth and nails for overgrowth
Provide nutrition advice for hay-based feeding
Offer housing and predator-proofing support
Share parasite prevention and safe handling tips
Because rabbit-savvy vets are limited in regional areas, Lithgow families travel to us for professional, species-specific care.

Reducing roaming, marking, and aggression in males

Annual health checks for all species
