Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
Very friendly service and very easy to book an appointment.
Dr Laurence is very caring and called us to cancel our appointment and urge us to take our cat to the 24hr vet, where we are now! Recommended!
I have a senior cat who stresses terribly whenever we have to travel to see a vet. This was a great alternative for his health check and vaccination. Booking was very easy and Dr Laurence was great with my cat (who is often very cranky with strangers). He offered great health advice and provided some good recommendations for various products. Very reasonably priced and overall the best, least stress free vet visit we have ever had! Will definitely be booking Dr Laurence for the next check up!
Good service but honestly very expensive considering
Thank you Laurence! First time we have used this service, and very impressed. Our cat hated going to the vet, and would work themselves into a complete hissing biting ball of fury. But in using this service, he was able to examined, and gets his vaccinations with no stress and in his own home environment. Both less stressful for the cat and us. We will use again, and would highly recommend.

Nelson my 5yr old 60kg Belgium Shepherd was in obvious pain continual crying followed by screeching when he would try to stand up, bloated stomach - nothing made sense we thought Nelson was dying right in front of us. The feeling of hopelessness not knowing how to help Nelson In walks Laurence Cut a long story short Nelson just got home from his walk - his never been fitter and healthier Laurence is a gun
So convenient, really lovely experience
Dr Laurence was excellent with our 8 year old nervous cat. He clearly loves animals and took the time to get to know our cat and his history. He also provided detailed advice which was appreciated. Highly recommended.
Dr Lawrence came to euthanise my beautiful 13 yr old boy. It was a peaceful and calm appointment. I didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable and my boy passed peacefuly in my arms. It was also reasonalbly priced compared to other services I looked into.

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 🙂
