Good service but honestly very expensive considering
DR Laurence, Took the time before the visit to call me and understand who Mr Ferguson was and what he was like. He’s a rescue cat with some pretty big trust issues, so I really appreciated the effort to understand him beforehand.
When he arrived, he was so calm, and gentle, which made me feel like everything was going to be okay. He not only gave Mr F his FIV shot, but also gave him a quick check over and gave me some really helpful tips.
To top it off, he followed up with a text afterwards to see how Mr F was doing. That level of care really meant a lot.
Would absolutely recommend!
I’m so so happy with my experience from first paw mobile vet. It seriously was amazing as me and my partner work a fair bit so it worked out perfectly.. The service was defiantly 5 stars!!!! He went over sookie my cat so thoroughly and gave us some great advice. I would highly recommend the first paw mobile vet and it’s a reasonable price too :) Thanks again guys !!!!! :)))))
The team at First Paw are simply amazing. I am thrilled that this at-home service exists as my little dude Aragorn is terrified by clinics, he's often anxious and sometimes a little too excited! Dr Lawrence was able to administer a vaccination with care and love. We also met the wonderful Dr Abby and team who did a thorough health check - everyone was just lovely and caring of our little guy. Thanks so much team! I'll now be booking First Paw at home any time Aragorn needs a check up, discussion or vaccine.
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
I booked an appointment with First Paw to come and vaccinate my rather anxious 10 year old Weimaraner Dempsey - Great experience all round !! Dempsey loved the vet and it really took away all the anxiety and pain of getting him to the vet - will definitely use First Paw again, he really knew his stuff and was so lovely to my dog!! Thanks First Paw!
First time using a mobile vet and Dr Laurence was wonderful with my anxious dog. He was very patient and gentle with my dog who suffers from anxiety and is fearful of people. He was on time, professional, knowledgable and provided lots of information. Would happily use First Paw services again in future. Highly recommended.
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.
So sorry l do have the wrong vet message removed its pawsom not your vet my sincere apologies to you and your vet
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!
Highly recommend First Paw mobile vet service, very professional and caring approach, so much easier than a clinic visit for my indoor cat Petal and her human :)
I got my puppy during the COVID-19 distancing rules, and was pleased to find First Paw Mobile Vet could come to my house so I could be with my puppy while he got his exam and vaccination. They were diligent about wearing a mask & gloves, hand washing, keeping distance from me as much as possible, and keeping the time in my home short, to minimise risk to me and my household, as well as the community. Dr Laurence was thorough, professional and friendly.

How it works

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.
