Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
Laurence was brilliant - being pandemic times, he made sure to limit the amount of time spent in the apartment by having a phone chat prior to coming up. Very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly, even though Roxy wasn’t the happiest after getting her vaccination, I’m sure she was very glad to avoid the car trip to the vet! Such an easy process of booking, made the whole experience wonderful.
Laurence is a wonderful friendly vet who has a wealth of knowledge & patience. My little man had a few skin issues and First Paw were able to fit me in straight away & come to my home! I have just had a baby so this was a huge help and the quality of service is nothing short of great! I now have one very happy & relaxed boy, thank you Laurence, would highly recommend First Paw to anyone.
Booking process is all online and simple to follow. The vet came on time and was very professional. Service is super convenient especially if you don't have a car in the city. Prices are fair for the service provided.
So convenient having a vet come to you. My cat Gattino was stress free and enjoying his treats! I highly recommend their services and professionalism at your own home..... Thank you Laurence
Dr Laurence at First Paws is fantastic, comprehensive service, great advice with a caring and understanding approach. Highly recommend.
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.
Had great service from Lawrence who was away on leave, but still called me back regarding our new puppys health check enquriy, and whilst he wasnt able to see us at the last minute which was completly reasonable, even took the time to answer questions, give further recommendations to others and also sent a free e book, will defintely keep in mind for our next visit.
After much searching for a mobile vet in the area, I found Laurence. Laurence was quick to respond and extremely thorough and efficient pre visit, during the visit and post visit. He diagnosed and treated Claude who has made a speedy recovery. I wouldn’t hesitate in contacting Laurence again and would recommend him.
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!
Fabulous service. Caring vets who take the time to put you and your beloved family pet at ease. Highly recommended. Will be using again.
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 😊
Lawrence was amazing! On time, efficient and gave me so much useful information regarding health of my cat and what I can do to assist her in the future. I will definitely be using First Paw in the future and would recommend anyone in the CBD area to use Lawrence as their vet!

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 🙂

During the visit
The Vet will always call your given contact number upon arrival to have a friendly chat and take your pet’s history. We will then conduct our house-call vet examination from the comfort of your home or workplace and give our expert treatment & advice. Payment is required at the time of the visit and can be made preferably by debit/credit card or phone tapping.

After Care
Receive your receipt and pet’s vaccination certificate by email, any veterinary referrals or pet medication scripts can be organised.
