Keeping your dog or cat current on vaccinations is one of the most important things you can do as a pet owner, and for Newburgh residents, Montgomery Veterinary Hospital in Montgomery, NY offers a straightforward, Fear Free certified option just 15 minutes away on Route 9W. We provide comprehensive vaccination services for dogs and cats of all ages, from first puppy and kitten vaccines through adult boosters and lifestyle-based protocols.
Our approach to vaccinations is grounded in current guidelines and tailored to each patient. Dr. Grech-Attard reviews your pet’s history, lifestyle, and risk factors before recommending a vaccine protocol. For full details on what we offer, visit our vaccinations page. Newburgh area pet owners may also be interested in our spay and neuter and pet dental care pages.
Vaccines fall into two categories: core vaccines that all dogs and cats should receive, and lifestyle vaccines that depend on your pet’s environment and habits.
Core vaccines for dogs include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus (hepatitis). These protect against diseases that are either required by law, highly contagious, or potentially fatal. Core vaccines for cats include rabies, panleukopenia, herpesvirus, and calicivirus. Rabies vaccination is required by New York State law for both dogs and cats.
Lifestyle vaccines are recommended based on risk. Leptospirosis is recommended for dogs who spend time outdoors in areas with wildlife or standing water — common throughout Orange County. Bordetella (kennel cough) is recommended for dogs who visit boarding facilities, groomers, or dog parks. Lyme disease vaccine is worth discussing for dogs in tick-heavy areas, which includes most of the Hudson Valley. For cats, feline leukemia vaccine is recommended for those with outdoor access.
Our team will walk you through all of this at your appointment, explain the reasoning behind each recommendation, and let you make informed decisions without pressure.
Vaccination visits at Montgomery Veterinary Hospital are typically paired with a wellness exam so we can review your pet’s overall health at the same time. This is more efficient for you and gives us a fuller picture of your pet before we administer anything. We check weight, body condition, dental health, and any concerns you have been noticing at home.
We are Fear Free certified, which means we work deliberately to keep your pet calm throughout the visit. For dogs or cats who have had stressful vet experiences in the past, the difference in approach here tends to be noticeable. We also offer in-house diagnostics if bloodwork or other testing is appropriate alongside the vaccine appointment.
We are located at 195 Bracken Road in Montgomery, about 15 minutes from downtown Newburgh via Route 9W north to Route 17K. Same-day appointments are often available. We serve new patients from Newburgh, New Windsor, Marlboro, and across Orange County.
A few things worth knowing before your visit: bring any vaccination records you have from a previous vet so we can avoid duplicating recent vaccines. If your pet is overdue on multiple vaccines, we may recommend spacing them out rather than giving everything at once — we will make that call based on your animal’s age, size, and health. And if you are traveling internationally with your pet, Dr. Grech-Attard is USDA-accredited and can handle the health certificates required for international travel alongside the vaccination appointment.
Vaccinations are one of the simplest investments in your pet’s health, and we make it easy to stay on schedule. We offer CareCredit financing, in-house payment plans, and discounts for seniors, military families, multi-pet households, and commuters making the drive from Newburgh. For pets who find travel stressful, our house call service covers Orange County and can bring routine preventive care directly to your home.
