Our reviews

Laurence was amazing, highly recommend first paw - great option for pets that freak out going to the vet, a home visit is so convenient!
Dr. Laurence is a total game-changer for anyone with a nervous pet! I’d been putting off my cat’s vaccinations for ages because she gets so anxious, which in turn makes me anxious. Dr. Laurence was incredibly reassuring and managed to finish everything within two minutes of being in the room - I was honestly in shock! It was the easiest vet experience we’ve ever had. I highly, highly recommend First Paw Mobile Vet for anyone needing a calm, professional, and convenient mobile vet.
Laurence was incredibly kind, and very helpful when he came to check on my cat! He had lots of great advice and my cat felt so much better after getting the necessary injection & medication :)
I have a senior cat who stresses terribly whenever we have to travel to see a vet. This was a great alternative for his health check and vaccination. Booking was very easy and Dr Laurence was great with my cat (who is often very cranky with strangers). He offered great health advice and provided some good recommendations for various products. Very reasonably priced and overall the best, least stress free vet visit we have ever had! Will definitely be booking Dr Laurence for the next check up!
Dr Lawrence came to euthanise my beautiful 13 yr old boy. It was a peaceful and calm appointment. I didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable and my boy passed peacefuly in my arms. It was also reasonalbly priced compared to other services I looked into.
Laurence made our cat Garfield feel calm and the appointment went so smooth. Really appreciated how he talked us through what he was doing and gave lots of advice for issues raised. Highly recommended!
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!
I had a very positive experience at a very difficult time. I would recommend and use again
Laurance is a really nice and professional vet. He let me know more about my pets and gave me some useful advice. Moreover, he is punctual and be patient on my questions. So I will highly recommend to choose Laurance to be your pet’s vet.
What an incredible business. I’m not sure if me or my baby pup were more nervous about the first vaccines but Lawrence made me (and more importantly my pooch) feel completely at ease. An excellent service that perfectly slipped in around my (always too busy) work schedule, Lawrence had my pup vaccinated, checked and ready to go about his day before my first meeting had even started. But most importantly he did it without a single whelp or yelp throughout the entire process. After hearing horror stories about dogs terrified of the vet, there is no one else I would call on for shots or check ups. I have referred all my friends.
Amazing service, our dog was so much more comfortable being treated in his familiar environment, the vet is also so kind and takes plenty of time to get to you know you and your animal, and having the service in your home gives you plenty of time to ask any questions. We’re loyal!
Great Vet. Reliable, accountable, kind and professional. 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 🙂

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
