Very highly recommended! Super friendly vet with great advice - really took the time to explain everything and was extremely thorough. And best of all, the dog loved him. Would absolutely use again! Thanks from Chips!

Laurence is an excellent vet and his mobile visit to my cat Ruby was 100% better than having to take her to a vet. Highly recommend! Less stress for all concerned.

Laurence visited our home when we were desperate. We had a suddenly anxious and aggressive cat - there is no way we could get near her to take her anywhere. He visited the same evening I rang and after taking a detailed history recommended a course of action that so far ( fingers crossed) is seeing my Kitty return to normal.
I would have paid anything for help to settle my cat - his $99 visit was far less than I expected and cheaper than visiting my local vet.
I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

We have an extremely anxious dog so vet visits are really stressful for him. I was hoping First Paw mobile vet would be a better experience and it 100% was. Laurence was very patient, he took the time to listen to the concerns and to get a thorough background history. He was awesome with our dog, and basically accomplished more in 30 minutes than we've ever been able to do at a vet office. Laurence was also good at explaining everything and followed up the next day. I would highly recommend First Paw and definitely will be using them again!

Highly recommend Laurence. He was wonderful with my 2 cats, even though one of them was rather unhappy with the process. Great service, right on time, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answer our questions. Will definitely get him back for the next annual check-up!

Professional, prompt and positive. Our dog Bill is ageing, getting a bit territorial and not so vet-clinic friendly. First Paw visiting him in his own environment was a great experience for us all. Thank you Lawrence for your thorough consultation, gentle manner and helpful advice. Will be recommending First Paw to all our dog walking mates.

The mobile VET was fantastic! Found this to be super convenient as we found ourselves constantly postponing getting to the VET for our cats' standard vaccinations and boosters. Laurence was on time and courteous and explained everything really well....he even talked us through a few different treatment options (without adding any pressure). Archie and Willow say thank you! Will be using again.

If there were more stars to give they would most certainly be given. Dr Laurence quickly became little Charlotte's favourite vet ever. Every detail, from booking to confirmation and actual home visit was exceptional. And all at a reasonable cost. We highly recommend First Paw

He was amazing with my puppy Sasha! He knows what he’s doing and explained everything to me so well, he answered all my questions. He went the extra mile and came to my area which is definitely worth the extra fee charge! He’s fantastic and I don’t know how to describe it! 10/10

Great to save the stress of pet carriers and unfamiliar surroundings. Also nice to have more than one pet treated and given great care. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend this business. Laurence won over my cautious cats and gave them a thorough health check - all in the convenience of our own home. Laurence explained everything and inspired confidence in his expertise. The online booking was easy and I appreciated the reminders and updates.

Loved the convenience! Dr Laurence was very helpful, I have a newborn and both my newborn and wife were sick and we needed to take Rocco to the Vet and instead we got Laurence to come and asisst without having to leave the house. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Will tell friends.

Laurence was fantastic with our very reserved puppy.
The consultation was very informative.
The convenience of having a vet come out with a busy work schedule is fabulous, will be recommending your service to friends & family
Thankyou!

The doctors are very friendly and professional. He has given us a lot of suggestion. That's my first time book mobile vet. It’s very convenient and at an affordable price.

We found First Paw Mobile Vet on Instagram and booked our Burmese kitten in to have a check up and his third vaccination. Laurence happily answered all of our Cat questions, checked our boy Banjo over and administered his vaccinations all in the comfort of our home. Being a busy working family with three kids, this was the perfect solution for us to take the stress out of getting in to a clinc. I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Laurence to any Melbourne pet owner!

We loved having Dr.Laurence visit! So thorough and informative, and coming to us when my wife is 30 weeks pregnant was a God send, and will be so handy after the baby arrives. Thank you!!

I booked an appointment with First Paw to come and vaccinate my rather anxious 10 year old Weimaraner Dempsey - Great experience all round !! Dempsey loved the vet and it really took away all the anxiety and pain of getting him to the vet - will definitely use First Paw again, he really knew his stuff and was so lovely to my dog!! Thanks First Paw!

A very friendly and gentle vet who came to my house to see my cats. The cats were much more relaxed during their exam than taking them to a clinic. Will defiantly use First Paw again.

Awesome vet! Great with Benji, did his vaccination and check up thoroughly, while maintaining his friendly smile the whole time. Benji loves him, and everything is soooo convenient for us! Thank you for coming over and did such a great job, will definitely come back for the next one.
