Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
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.
The mobile VET was fantastic! Found this to be super convenient as we found ourselves constantly postponing getting to the VET for our cats' standard vaccinations and boosters. Laurence was on time and courteous and explained everything really well....he even talked us through a few different treatment options (without adding any pressure). Archie and Willow say thank you! Will be using again.
Thanks Laurence for your care in looking after our dog and her sore paw and helpful diet tips for Rufus’ runny poos. Both dogs are doing better. Appreciate the home visit as it made things so much easier to get the dogs checked.
Met Laurence the other day. He is extremely caring. Got a quick check up done for my 1st kitten and everything went very well. Highly recommended. Thanks Laurence
Great experience
Brilliant! Was able to get my dog Harry vaccinated without having to leave my house while working from home. Great guy who knows what he's doing, the convenience was just a bonus. Will use again, cheers!
Dr Laurence was amazing! He was friendly, punctual, easy to understand and Lola loved him! He will be our regular vet from now on!
My beautiful baby boy arti (bull Arab cross) had a bad fall yesterday and so I called Firstpaw mobile vet The lady on the phone was lovley and took all my details The vet ended up having some cancellations and called me to come earlier witch was great for me x He was super sweet and kind and my dogs loved him Very affordable pricing for this amazing quality xx Would highly recommend xx We even got a cute little magnet and a roll of puppy poop bags xx
Lorence was very helpful and went to a great length to be able to care for my fury friend Jerry. His gentleness and live for animals was seen and his passionate about what he does, would definitely call lorence out again and would recommend his care.
Our pup couldn’t be happier after First Paw came and checked him out in his new home. First Paw all the way!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful assistance today. We could not have asked for more.
Laurence was on time and very thorough. He was excellent with Tofu during the appointment and I was extremely impressed with the quality of the follow up and support after the initial consultation. Having recently moved to Melbourne it's a relief to have found their new vet on the first try. Thanks again Laurence!!!

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.
