At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we proudly welcome families from across the Blue Mountains, including many who travel from Hazelbrook. While there are clinics closer to Hazelbrook, pet owners often choose us because we provide advanced diagnostic facilities, a wide range of services, and a compassionate team who treat every pet like family. From puppy and kitten vaccinations to dog and cat desexing, rabbit medicine, exotic pet care, and advanced surgery, Hazelbrook families know their pets are in safe, experienced hands with us.
Puppies in Hazelbrook often enjoy early adventures in the backyard, at local parks, or on bushwalks. These outings make vaccination essential to protect against preventable diseases. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, our puppy vaccination programs protect against parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and canine cough.
Each appointment also includes:
Monitoring growth, weight, and development
Parasite prevention tailored to Blue Mountains living (fleas, ticks, worms, and heartworm)
Nutrition guidance for both working breeds and companion pets
Behaviour advice for toilet training, chewing, and socialisation
Calm, positive handling to create stress-free early vet visits
Families from Hazelbrook choose us because we provide both medical protection and practical guidance to support raising strong, healthy puppies.
Kittens in Hazelbrook are playful and curious, but they’re vulnerable to viral infections without vaccination. Our kitten vaccination services protect against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. For outdoor cats, we also recommend FIV vaccination.
During kitten visits, we also:
Carry out a full health exam (teeth, eyes, coat, digestion, weight)
Provide parasite prevention tailored to mountain living
Offer advice on scratching, litter training, and enrichment
Arrange microchipping and advise on desexing timelines
Hazelbrook families travel to us because they want professional, cat-friendly care and advice to help kittens thrive.
Vaccines remain vital throughout life. Families seeking adult pet vaccinations near Hazelbrook come to us for personalised, thorough care.
Dogs that attend kennels, training schools, or social gatherings require kennel cough protection.
Outdoor cats need yearly boosters to stay safe from viral diseases.
Indoor-only pets may need fewer vaccines but still benefit from annual health checks.
Every vaccination visit also includes a complete physical exam, giving Hazelbrook families peace of mind about their pets’ long-term health.
Rabbits in Hazelbrook face risks from calicivirus (RHDV), which is common across NSW. Our rabbit vaccination program protects against this fatal disease.
Each rabbit consultation also includes:
Dental and nail checks
Nutrition and diet advice to support digestive health
Housing guidance for safe, enriched environments
Parasite prevention and handling tips
Because rabbit-savvy vets aren’t always available locally, Hazelbrook families rely on us for expert rabbit care.
Desexing is one of the best ways to support your dog’s long-term health and wellbeing. At North Richmond Vet Hospital, we provide safe, professional dog desexing for Hazelbrook families, performed in sterile theatres with modern anaesthesia and full monitoring.

Preventing reproductive cancers and uterine infections
Reducing aggression, roaming, and urine marking in males
Supporting calmer, more manageable behaviour
Preventing unplanned litters

Clear aftercare instructions for easy healing at home

Preventing reproductive cancers (especially in rabbits and ferrets)
Reducing hormonal behaviours like aggression or spraying

One reason Hazelbrook families choose us is our advanced diagnostic equipment, which includes:
Digital X-ray for bones, chest, and abdominal imaging
Ultrasound for pregnancy checks and internal organ evaluation
CT scanning for complex or hard-to-diagnose conditions
These tools help us provide fast, accurate diagnoses, reducing stress for pets and owners.

Thorough airway and breathing assessments
Advice on weight, diet, and safe exercise
Surgical correction for narrowed nostrils or elongated soft palates when necessary
Families from Hazelbrook travel to us because we provide compassionate, skilled care that improves their dogs’ comfort and quality of life.

Annual health checks tailored to each species
Nutrition and husbandry advice
Beak, wing, and nail trims for birds
Reptile diet and habitat support
Surgery and desexing for small mammals
Because exotic pet expertise is limited in the Blue Mountains, Hazelbrook families rely on us for trusted, species-specific care.
