Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
Dr. Lawrence was absolutely fantastic. Incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and a great manner with my puppy. Highly highly recommend his fantastic service.
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.
Laurence was a legend - relaxed, professional and on time. Our cat really enjoyed not having to leave his home to receive treatment. We will be using Laurence for all future veterinary services.
As a first time cat adopter I reached out to First Paw for a health check for Hedy and some general advice on her care. Laurence was punctual, communicative, clearly loves animals and was very generous with his time and guidance. I wouldn't hesitate to call First Paw again for their caring approach, not to mention convenience and professionalism. Thanks Laurence!
Thanks Dr Laurence for being really detailed and for also making our pup feel comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend!
Great to save the stress of pet carriers and unfamiliar surroundings. Also nice to have more than one pet treated and given great care. Highly recommended!
Laurence was a very calm presence around my often skittish cat and provided helpful advice about dental care.
Highly recommended! Apqrt from the obvious ease of a vet coming to your home, Laurence is incredibly professional as well. Taking time to establish why id called on the phone first, everything was covered to ensure on arrival, he knew exactly what he was looking for. He put me at ease knowing Archie the Ginger Tom was doing ok. Archie doesnt live being touched so gentle care during vaccination was appreciated. Thanks Laurence, will see you next time!
This is an excellent service. Laurence is a very skilled and professional vet who treated my mum’s beagle. Indie is a very anxious dog and had infected & inflamed eyes. Despite two trips to the vet, they didn’t improve as her anxiety and twitchiness prevented the vet from being able to properly inspect and treat her eyes. This made a home visit by Laurence the perfect solution. After a visit from Laurence and a treatment course, Indie’s eyes were back to normal after only a few days. I couldn’t more highly recommend Laurence and first paw mobile vet to care for your beloved animals. Laurence is so thorough, knowledgeable and attentive to your pet’s needs. .
Dr Pete was fantastic, he took great care with my 17 year old Spoodle called Chino, I highly recommend this in home service for home euthanasia.
The doctors are very friendly and professional. He has given us a lot of suggestion. That's my first time book mobile vet. It’s very convenient and at an affordable price.
Laurence is THE BEST VET in town! He is kind, respectful and professional. He knows how to treat pets. Thank you very much! I will recommend Laurence to everyone I know.

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 🙂
