Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
Punctual, reasonably priced and very thorough. Would recommend!
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!
Such a great service! Dr Laurence was excellent and took time to explain everything. No hidden costs and good value for high quality service. Will definitely use again for my pets. 🐈
Always great service and just what we need for our cat :)
The mobile vet service with Dr Laurence was very professional, thoughtful and informative and I am very satisfied with the service. He was very gentle with my puppy, and my dog seems very happy too. The communication is also very clear starting from arrival until done. I would recommend him if you guys are looking for a mobile service for your pet 😊
Laurence came out to give our new puppy his second lot of injections. It was such a stress-free, positive experience (for both us and our dog) to have such a caring and knowledgeable vet come out to our home. Laurence took the time to carefully discuss all aspects of puppy ownership with us, from diet recommendations to worming plans, and gave Sonny a thorough checkup. We've rebooked for his next injections, and couldn't be happier with the decision to use First Paw Mobile Vet!
This is a fantastic service, the vet (Laurence) was great, he was very well organised and thourough. It was a much better experience having him come to us, more relaxed for us and our pets. Laurence is very approachable and knowledable so he will answer any questions and explains everything very well. Prices are very reasonable, so even with the call out fee it was still cheaper than visiting a vet sugery, great value. I have recommended this service to everyone I know and will be a loyal customer myself from now on.
Dr Laurence is very professional and did thorough checks for my dog Bagel. The home visit service is really convenient too! Thanks again!
I had a very positive experience at a very difficult time. I would recommend and use again
Laurence was very helpful and generous with his time and the way he helped take care of my two kittens.
Five star service from Dr Lawrence! I highly recommend him and his team. He provided prompt professional care during a COVID lockdown - really going the extra mile to help out our GSP Pippi
Dr. Lawrence was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and a great manner with my puppy. Highly highly recommend his fantastic service.

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

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.
