Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
Booking process is all online and simple to follow. The vet came on time and was very professional. Service is super convenient especially if you don't have a car in the city. Prices are fair for the service provided.
Great experience! Handy not having to leave the house. Recommend Laurence, really knows his stuff.
Amazing service! One of my cats is really anxious and was so much happier to be able to be treated from home! Highly recommended!
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.
Could not recommend Laurence and the team at First Mobile Vet more. From speaking to the lovely lady who made the booking with me over the phone to the thorough consultation I had with Laurence, all was amazing. I have a 11 year old Rotweiler who was in a bad way with impaired mobility. Laurence made a visit to do a consult and administer a Berensa injection. It has worked a treat for her and we are now able to go for 2 small walks a day compared to her not being able to get out of her bed. Laurence gave us so much of his time and even did a follow up to see how she was tracking. Love that I can now book First Paw to come and see us at home. Will definitely continue to use them. Very happy customer and doggie!
Bella, my dog, and I would like to heartily recommend the First Paw mobile vet service. An appointment was arranged easily and Laurence, the fabulous vet arrived promptly. He was wonderful, thorough, professional and incredibly sensitive to both Bella’s and my needs. I was absolutely delighted with every aspect of the service and will be accessing First Paws again in the future.
Fabulous service. Caring vets who take the time to put you and your beloved family pet at ease. Highly recommended. Will be using again.
My cat it’s a bit tricky but with the help of Laurence and first Paw I could get everything done for her; the service was amazing, the way laurence handled my cat was really good so honestly I highly recommend this guys.
Dr Laurence was amazing! He was friendly, punctual, easy to understand and Lola loved him! He will be our regular vet from now on!
Absolutely wonderful experience. Dr Laurence was very prompt, patient(with our wiggly boy) and very helpful with all our questions.
Laurence was great! Punctual and extremely professional, definitely knows all things when it comes to pets! No doubt our puppy cavoodle is in good hands. Love that this service is mobile! Came right to our house and had the vet appointment in the comfort of our own home! Winning!
Always great service and just what we need for our cat :)

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.
