Great mobile vet service. Detailed pre visit phone call, courteous and professional. Followed up afterwards with regular text messages. This was my first experience with a mobile vet, and it was amazing. We have a very nervous cat, who hates being in the carrier, even for a 5 minute drive to our regular vet. This was a much better experience for all of us. Our cat was so much more chilled about everything, and as a result, so was I. Will happily use this service again for routine vet visits.

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

Laurence took amazing care of our little 11 week old pup - his love for animals really shows in his excellent service and attention to detail. Can't recommend him enough - if you're trying to make sure your puppy has a good first impression with a vet, this is it!

Dr Laurence was absolutely fantastic. He came to our home to vaccinate and check our three cats, and the whole experience was calm, professional, and stress-free. He handled each of them so gently and took the time to explain everything clearly. It made such a difference not having to take them into a clinic. We will definitely be using him for all our future general check ups and vaccinations. We’re so grateful and would highly recommend his home-visit service!

Laurance! Thanks for making it easy to go to the vet! Nahla is 100% better and we didn’t even have to Leave the house! Highly recommend!

Wealth of knowledge from Laurence and really appreciated the follow up messages/advise. Daisy my 10 week old puppy had her second vaccination with him and she absolutely loved him. She was completely at ease with her check up and injection. Daisy is excited for her upcoming final injection and it makes it so much easier from the comfort of your home.

I was really impressed by the service from Dr Laurence. My previous mobile vet had shut down so I found First Paw Mobile through an internet search and was able to get an appointment in less than a week to undertake an annual health check for my cat. Dr Laurence conducts a quick five-minute call with you prior to entering the property so he can get background information on your pet and to identify the best way to care for it during the visit. Once inside, he was very caring with my cat, making sure he didn't do anything to cause any stress. Dr Laurence did a full check and was able to vaccinate my cat, which was great given cat vaccines are hard to come by in Australia at the moment. He also provided guidance on cat teeth cleaning (I had not been made aware of this from previous vets) and gave information and advice on how to manage and seek treatment. Five days after my visit, Dr Laurence followed up with a message to see how my cat was and if there were any issues following the vaccination. To me, this really showed the good level of service that First Paw Mobile provides to ensure your pet is safe and well. I will definitely be using First Paw Mobile going forward and would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to use a mobile / home visit service.

Dr Laurence is incredible, a 10/10 vet!! He has great energy and is honest, gentle, and highly attentive when it comes to pet care. All of those great qualities made it such an easy and smooth experience for my anxious and shy cat, Bunny. I absolutely recommend First Paw for anyone in the Melbourne area! Thank you :)

Dr. Laurence is a life saver! My cat Ralphie needs to be sedated every time we go to the vet just for a physical, so we decide to use First Paw, and everything went smoothly. Dr. Laurence was able to give Ralphie a physical and shots without struggle at all! He even gave Ralphie a treat at the end to make sure it was a great experience for him! Dr. Laurence made a normally stressful experience for us, stress free.

Laurence made our cat Garfield feel calm and the appointment went so smooth. Really appreciated how he talked us through what he was doing and gave lots of advice for issues raised. Highly recommended!

    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 🙂
