Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
My furbaby hates the cat carrier and since I live alone and don’t drive, getting her check up and vaccination done would have been very difficult without the mobile vet! Very friendly and thorough and unlike many vets didn’t treat a cat as less important than other pets. Highly recommend!
Laurence was great. It took him one visit to correctly diagnose and resolve an issue our regular vet had missed. He took the time to follow up after our appointment to check how the treatment was going, and the mobile aspect of his service is so much more convenient than trying to get to a clinic.
Always great service and just what we need for our cat :)
Lawrence came and had a look at my Cat. He was kind, informative, professional and knows what he’s taking about. My cat is on the mend and I would recommend his services to everyone!
Dr Laurence from First Paw is great! He is very thorough & took the time to explain all his recommendations. He also gave genuine solutions to a range of concerns. The best part...all in the comfort of our home! So my dog experienced less stress & was much more comfortable than when we have to head to the vet, which of course made me less stressed too! Definitely recommend & will use again.
Excellent service! The vets always take a thorough medical history before the appointment and they are super patient with nervous pets. It's also a mobile service vet which means theres no hassle for travelling in a car with you pet (my cat hates car rides). Would 10/10 recommend.
This was my first time meeting Laurence he was great. From the care for the cats to the care of entering into a home during covid, he and the experience was first class! He gave amazing feedback and recommendations for my cats and I’ve now found my full time vet moving forward.
Great service and a great experience!
We had a fantastic experience with First Paw Mobile Vet when our large dog developed an eye infection. Dr Lawrence was super professional yet personal and took great care to make both humans and animal comfortable. He was delicate and very knowledgeable, and not having to leave ourhour was a great bonus. I would highly recommend this vet.
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
Friendly, knowledgeable and timely service. Helped with my cats needs and also gave useful general health advice. Would definitely go with First Paw again.
Professional and caring, First Paw Mobile Vet organised an appointment quickly and ensured I had everything I needed both in terms of medical care and information to handle my cat's issue.

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.
