Super easy to get vet check during covid19 lockdown Friendly and knowledgeable And good photographer as well! Thank you Laurence
Very highly recommended! Super friendly vet with great advice - really took the time to explain everything and was extremely thorough. And best of all, the dog loved him. Would absolutely use again! Thanks from Chips!
Dr Laurence is excellent. We appreciate his patience with our kind but anxious rescue as well as his professionalism, experience and depth of knowledge. Highly recommend if you need a vet to come to you.
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!
Our pup couldn’t be happier after First Paw came and checked him out in his new home. First Paw all the way!
Absolutely fantastic service by Laurence! Was punctual and professional and answered all the questions I had about my little cat! I would recommend to anyone looking for an at home vet service!
Nelson my 5yr old 60kg Belgium Shepherd was in obvious pain continual crying followed by screeching when he would try to stand up, bloated stomach - nothing made sense we thought Nelson was dying right in front of us. The feeling of hopelessness not knowing how to help Nelson In walks Laurence Cut a long story short Nelson just got home from his walk - his never been fitter and healthier Laurence is a gun
The absolute best doctor for your baby. He was so friendly and helpful. So knowledgeable and super thorough with his diagnosis. He was so gentle to my baby girl Duri and his prices were honestly so good!! While other money hungry clinics were charging 200 dollars for a 5 min consultation, he went out of his ways to call before entering my house to ask about her temperament, her diet, her history,.. EVERYTHING!! He didn’t even mind coming into my bathroom do all the examinations because of how anxious Duri was. Literal god sent. Could not recommend more!! Soooo convenient in terms of not having to travel anywhere but also reduces the stress of being in a carrier for my cat. She got noticeably better after just two days too!! I honestly cannot thank Dr. Laurence enough- you can really tell he does this job because he actually cares! ❤️
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!
Had great service from Lawrence who was away on leave, but still called me back regarding our new puppys health check enquriy, and whilst he wasnt able to see us at the last minute which was completly reasonable, even took the time to answer questions, give further recommendations to others and also sent a free e book, will defintely keep in mind for our next visit.
I was thrilled to find a mobile pet service as I didn't want to traumatise my kitten taking him out in the cold in a taxi. Laurence was on time and very kind and friendly. He took his time to do what was needed for my kitten's first check up (since I brought him home) and booster vax. Laurence gave me lots of advice on teeth health for animals and any issues to look out for in the future. 100% recommendation.
Laurence was very nice and friendly. The kids loved him, specially for a first visit. So he will be our regular vet now 😊

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.
