At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we proudly care for pets from across the Hawkesbury, and we see many families from Richmond every week. Our hospital is only minutes away, and local owners choose us for our modern facilities, caring team, and wide range of services. Whether you’re looking for puppy vaccinations, cat desexing, rabbit care, or advanced surgery, we’re here to support your pet’s health at every stage of life.
Puppies in Richmond deserve the very best start, and vaccination is the most important step in protecting them from preventable disease. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we provide full puppy vaccination courses covering parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and canine cough.
But vaccination visits go far beyond needles. At each appointment, we also:
Track growth, weight, and development milestones
Provide tailored advice on diet, from working-breed puppies to companion pets
Give parasite prevention (fleas, ticks, worms, and heartworm) suited to local conditions
Offer early training and socialisation guidance to support confident behaviour
Create a positive, stress-free vet experience for puppies and owners
Richmond families appreciate having such comprehensive care so close to home, giving their pups the healthiest possible foundation.
Kittens are adventurous, but their immune systems are immature, making them vulnerable. Our kitten vaccination services for Richmond cats protect against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. For cats that spend time outdoors, we also recommend FIV vaccination.
During kitten appointments, our team also:
Conducts a full physical exam (eyes, ears, mouth, coat, and body condition)
Discusses behaviour, litter training, scratching, and enrichment strategies
Provides parasite prevention plans for fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms
Offers microchipping and early desexing guidance
Many Richmond families travel to us because they want their kittens cared for in a calm, cat-friendly environment with experienced hands.
Vaccinations don’t stop after the first year. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we tailor adult vaccination plans for Richmond pets to suit their lifestyle.
Social dogs often require kennel cough boosters for parks, training, or boarding.
Outdoor cats need annual boosters to protect against core feline diseases.
Indoor cats may need fewer vaccines but still benefit from annual health checks.
Every adult vaccination appointment includes a full exam, checking teeth, joints, heart, lungs, skin, and weight. Richmond families tell us they value these yearly visits as much as the vaccines themselves because they provide reassurance and early detection of health issues.
Rabbits are popular pets in Richmond, but they are at risk of calicivirus (RHDV), which is widespread and often fatal. We provide safe, effective rabbit vaccinations to protect them.
Each rabbit appointment also includes:
Dental checks to identify overgrown teeth
Nail trimming and advice on grooming
Diet and housing reviews to keep rabbits healthy
Parasite prevention tailored to rabbits’ needs
Because rabbit-savvy vets are hard to find, Richmond families travel to us knowing their pets will receive expert care.
Desexing is one of the most important steps in caring for your dog. Families in Richmond trust our hospital for safe, professional dog desexing surgery, whether for males or females.
Benefits include:
Preventing unwanted litters
Reducing roaming, aggression, and urine marking
Preventing pyometra and reducing reproductive cancers
Supporting calmer behaviour and easier home management
Our hospital has sterile theatres, modern anaesthetic monitoring, and pain relief protocols to keep pets safe and comfortable. Richmond families choose us because we’re close by and offer the same standard of care you’d expect in larger city hospitals.
Cats are prolific breeders, and desexing is essential to prevent unwanted kittens and improve health. We recommend cat desexing near Richmond at around 5–6 months of age.
Our approach includes:
Gentle handling to keep cats calm before surgery
Safe anaesthesia with continuous monitoring
Effective pain relief during and after the procedure
Full aftercare instructions for smooth recovery at home
Families in Richmond choose us for cat desexing because we explain everything clearly and support both pets and owners through the process.
Exotic pets—including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, and mice—also benefit from desexing. We’re one of the few hospitals in the Hawkesbury offering exotic animal desexing for Richmond families.
Benefits include:
Preventing reproductive cancers (common in ferrets and rabbits)
Reducing aggression and hormonal behaviours
Preventing unwanted litters in multi-pet households
Richmond families travel to us because we have the expertise and equipment to perform these delicate surgeries safely.
Our hospital is equipped with diagnostic technology rarely found in smaller clinics. Families from Richmond choose us because we have:
Digital X-ray for skeletal and chest/abdominal imaging
Ultrasound for pregnancy checks and internal organ health
CT scanning for complex cases needing detailed imaging
Having this equipment nearby means faster answers and better outcomes for pets. Richmond owners appreciate not having to travel further afield for advanced diagnostics.
Short-nosed breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers are common in Richmond, but they often suffer from airway issues. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we provide expert brachycephalic care, including:
Thorough breathing assessments
Guidance on diet, exercise, and hot weather management
Surgical correction of narrowed airways when necessary
Families travel from Richmond because they know their flat-faced dogs will be treated with care, skill, and experience.
We welcome unusual pets and provide specialised care for rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, reptiles, birds, and rodents. Richmond exotic pet owners choose us because we offer:
Annual health checks
Nutrition and husbandry advice to prevent illness
Wing, beak, and nail care for birds
Reptile husbandry guidance
Surgery and desexing for small mammals
Because exotic care is not always available locally, Richmond families rely on us for expert treatment.
From routine spays and neuters to complex soft tissue or emergency operations, families in Richmond trust us for safe, professional surgery.
Our surgical service includes:
Written estimates and clear explanations before procedures
Sterile theatres with advanced monitoring equipment
Comprehensive pain relief for comfort and recovery
Overnight hospitalisation if needed
Full post-op support and follow-up
Richmond owners appreciate knowing their pets have access to both routine and advanced surgical options close to home.

Ultrasound and X-rays to confirm pregnancy and litter size
Nutrition and health advice for pregnant pets
Assistance during whelping or labour
Emergency caesareans if complications arise
Having these services so close gives Richmond families peace of mind.
