At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we’re proud to welcome families from across the Central Coast, including many who travel from Gosford. While there are clinics closer to Gosford, many pet owners choose us because they want advanced facilities, compassionate vets, and services that aren’t always available locally—such as CT scanning, exotic pet care, and advanced surgery. From puppy and kitten vaccinations to dog and cat desexing, rabbit medicine, and exotic pet care, Gosford families trust us to keep their pets healthy and happy at every stage of life.
Puppies in Gosford often enjoy outdoor adventures—from coastal walks to dog parks—making vaccination critical to protect them against preventable diseases. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we provide complete puppy vaccination programs covering parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and canine cough.
Each visit also includes:
Monitoring growth, weight, and body condition
Parasite prevention suited to coastal living (fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, heartworm)
Nutrition advice for working breeds, large breeds, and companion dogs
Behaviour and training guidance for toilet training, chewing, and socialisation
Calm, gentle handling to ensure positive early vet experiences
Families from Gosford appreciate that we provide both protection and practical support, helping puppies grow into confident, healthy dogs.
Kittens in Gosford are playful explorers, but without vaccination they’re at risk of serious infections. Our kitten vaccination services protect against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. For outdoor cats, we also recommend FIV vaccination.
During kitten visits, we also:
Perform a full health exam (teeth, eyes, ears, coat, weight, digestion)
Provide parasite prevention for fleas, ticks, and worms
Share behaviour advice for scratching, litter training, and enrichment
Arrange microchipping and give desexing advice
Gosford families travel to us because they want kitten care that’s both thorough and supportive, with clear explanations every step of the way.
Vaccines remain essential throughout adulthood. Families seeking adult pet vaccinations near Gosford visit us for personalised care.
Dogs that attend training, grooming, or kennels need kennel cough boosters.
Outdoor cats require annual boosters against viral infections.
Indoor pets still benefit from annual exams, even if they need fewer vaccines.
Each vaccination visit includes a comprehensive health exam, giving Gosford families peace of mind that their pets are healthy and protected.
Rabbits in Gosford are at risk from calicivirus (RHDV), which spreads throughout the Central Coast. Our rabbit vaccination services protect against this deadly virus.
At each appointment, we also:
Check teeth and nails for overgrowth
Provide nutrition and housing advice
Offer parasite prevention tailored to rabbits
Share handling and care guidance
Because rabbit expertise isn’t always available locally, Gosford families travel to us for professional rabbit care.
Desexing is one of the best ways to support your dog’s long-term health and behaviour. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we provide safe, professional dog desexing for Gosford families, using modern anaesthesia, sterile theatres, and advanced monitoring.
Benefits include:
Preventing reproductive cancers and uterine infections
Reducing aggression, roaming, and urine marking in males
Supporting calmer, easier behaviour at home
Preventing unwanted litters
Families travel from Gosford because they want skilled surgical care combined with supportive aftercare.

Calm handling to reduce stress for cats
Clear instructions for aftercare at home

Reducing hormonal behaviours like spraying or aggression

Families from Gosford choose us because of our advanced diagnostic equipment, which includes:
Digital X-ray for bones, chest, and abdominal imaging
Ultrasound for pregnancy checks and soft tissue evaluation
CT scanning for complex cases
These tools help us provide faster, more accurate answers, often in a single visit.

Thorough airway and breathing assessments
Advice on weight management, exercise, and heat safety
Surgical correction for narrowed nostrils or elongated soft palates if required

Annual health checks for all species

Surgery and desexing
Beak, wing, and nail trims for birds
Reptile diet and habitat guidance
