My pup got her 2nd vaccination and a checkup ! Highly recommend !Couldn’t be happier than this :) he was super gentle with my little pup and knowledgeable and professional! Gave me lots of informations Thank you so much Laurence 😊
Dr. Laurence was really professional and amiable. The service was so convenient and great I could rely on him to be punctual and comprehensive. Would highly recommend.
Laurence was very knowledgeable and helpful. Was also very kind and great at dealing with my nervous cat. Thank you and will be contacting again ☺️
My furbaby hates the cat carrier and since I live alone and don’t drive, getting her check up and vaccination done would have been very difficult without the mobile vet! Very friendly and thorough and unlike many vets didn’t treat a cat as less important than other pets. Highly recommend!
I'm so glad I found this vet! Dr Laurence is an exceptional vet with a lot of empathy. He called me on arrival to discuss my pets' habits, health, medical history and general disposition. He was very friendly and and direct about information and recommendations to maintain my pets. My pets were very much at ease and vaccinations were provided easily. The whole process was great. The cost was very competitive.
Lawrence was excellent! So conscientious and careful with my anxious cat. Gave me everything I need. Best mobile vet going around!
Good service but honestly very expensive considering
Dr. Laurence is a total game-changer for anyone with a nervous pet! I’d been putting off my cat’s vaccinations for ages because she gets so anxious, which in turn makes me anxious. Dr. Laurence was incredibly reassuring and managed to finish everything within two minutes of being in the room - I was honestly in shock! It was the easiest vet experience we’ve ever had. I highly, highly recommend First Paw Mobile Vet for anyone needing a calm, professional, and convenient mobile vet.
Communicative, friendly (to both hoomans and pups), and knowledgeable. We will definitely be seeing him again!
Excellent service. Fast and friendly and great price too. Paid $268 for both my cats to have a checkup and vaccination. Definitely going here again
I can't get my dog anywhere near a vets since he had to stay 3 nights in the animal hospital at 6 months old; he's very nervous. Dr Laurence was gentle and patient and my dog was treated without causing any of us any stress! I highly recommend Dr Laurence

Prepare for your vet's visit
A quiet room or confined area outdoors is ideal for examination, for small dogs a table or bench is very helpful. For anxious cats, please confine them to a carrier cage, the bathroom or an enclosed room where they can’t run and hide. Please allow a half hour window for us to arrive in case of potential traffic/parking delays. Oh and don’t forget to let us know if your pet has any behaviour quirks we should know about, for safety sake 🙂
