Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
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.
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.
The humorous and gentle doctor Laurence came to my home with a temperature of 37 degrees to give my kitten a physical examination and vaccination .He got along well with Momo and provided us prefect services. Thank him a lot🥳 …
Laurence is knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate. My boy has mobility issues and home visits make it a lot easier on the both of us. Managed to get an appointment quickly after a no show, no call from another vet.
Laurence is a fantastic vet with a gentle touch. My Leo went through multiple surgeries and vet stays last year and as a result, is terrified of vet visits. Laurence took the time to let Leo check him out and become comfortable with him before he tried to examine him. It made a huge difference to a cat that usually has to be sedated before he can be treated. I’m not sure Leo even noticed the vaccination he was given. Having a vet come to me instead of putting Leo through the stress of a car ride and unfamiliar space made for a very relaxed cat. Laurence was thorough and ask all the right questions so I was as relaxed as the cat knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend this service and would definitely use it again.
I had Lawrence, and he was great! Gave great advise, was easy to understand. Would highly recommend him. Always keeps in contact with you even after the appointment to check up on things.
Super easy to get vet check during covid19 lockdown Friendly and knowledgeable And good photographer as well! Thank you Laurence
Laurence was a pleasure to deal with and service top end. Only took one visit but I won't be looking anywhere else for any vetinary needs for our puppy!
Dr Laurence came to our house earlier this week to treat our Staffy x who had been unwell for a few days. He arrived before time and greeted us all so warmly and with such a calm demeanour. He took the time to listen to the history as he sat on the floor giving our usually highly anxious dog a chance to relax and approach Laurence in his own time. Laurence was extremely knowledgable and took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure every base was covered. He works closely with the local vet clinics and is careful to present the options. He even discovered a dental issue with our dog that had previously gone unnoticed so that was a bonus of the examination. Vet visits are usually highly stressful for us and our dog so this was such a positive experience, one that we would highly recommend for any pet owner. We will be using First Paw Mobile Vet Service from now on and have already recommended Laurence to friends and neighbours.
Very friendly service and very easy to book an appointment.
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.

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 🙂

We will then conduct our house-call vet examination from the comfort of your home or workplace and give our expert treatment & advice.
