Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
Laurence came at a time of need for I and my puppy. The service was quick, courteous and my puppy was comfortable around the vet. The service is recommended especially when you want an in home care instead of trips to and from the vet.
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.
Dr Laurence has treated both my staghound cross Barkley and my pointer cross Evie. Evie is a rescue and not that keen on men but she came around to Dr Laurence. Thanks so much.
“We prefer the less intrusive environment”. Says our cats. It is so much less stress having Laurence visit our home and see the cats in their own environment. They think he’s just an odd family friend who takes extra interest in them and their weight and teeth 😹 Highly recommend. Experienced, reliable, kind & very in tune to the pets.
Laurence was very prompt, asked all the right questions, and showed great care with my sore, big dog. Having him come over for a front porch consultation was so great not to have to lift the dog in and out of the car to the vet. Very comprehensive. Thanks
I was so worried about our cat seeing Dr Laurence as he is a real scaredy cat of people he doesn’t know. Dr Laurence was so wonderful with him and our cat wasn’t as scared as I thought he would be, and let him perform an examination - I was so relieved.😃 Dr Laurence is so professional, gentle and caring, I would definitely recommend him to care for your pets. The mobile service is so helpful as we live in Melbourne CBD and we don’t have a car. Thank you Dr Lawrence, we really appreciate your kind, friendly service.
He was amazing with my puppy Sasha! He knows what he’s doing and explained everything to me so well, he answered all my questions. He went the extra mile and came to my area which is definitely worth the extra fee charge! He’s fantastic and I don’t know how to describe it! 10/10
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!

Five star service from Dr Lawrence! I highly recommend him and his team. He provided prompt professional care during a COVID lockdown - really going the extra mile to help out our GSP Pippi
Laurence was very thorough and caring and my cats were very calm when being handled by him. I would recommend First Paw Mobile Vet to anyone 🐈🐾
We had a fantastic experience with First Paw Mobile Vet when our large dog developed an eye infection. Dr Lawrence was super professional yet personal and took great care to make both humans and animal comfortable. He was delicate and very knowledgeable, and not having to leave ourhour was a great bonus. I would highly recommend this vet.

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

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.
