Our reviews
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
Punctual, reasonably priced and very thorough. Would recommend!
Highly recommend Laurence. He was wonderful with my 2 cats, even though one of them was rather unhappy with the process. Great service, right on time, and took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answer our questions. Will definitely get him back for the next annual check-up!
Laurence has been wonderful with our animals. He is knowledgeable, offers different care options and obviously has a genuine love of animals. Booking is easy, communication is excellent and follow up is always consistent. Would recommend 100% for anyone looking for a mobile vet. Not having to load everyone into the car is just a bonus!
Can’t express enough how great Vet Laurence is - he’s incredibly thorough, caring, knowledgeable and really takes the time to explain everything to you. His online booking platform is also incredibly seamless - I booked a phone consultation on the day of and paid with PayPal - took about 2 minutes. My partner and I were both saying we wish he was our doctor, as the level of care is far superior to any GP we’ve ever had! 😂 all in all a great experience and we will continue to use Laurence as our primary Vet for our little Chips.
Laurence took amazing care of our little 11 week old pup - his love for animals really shows in his excellent service and attention to detail. Can't recommend him enough - if you're trying to make sure your puppy has a good first impression with a vet, this is it!
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!
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 amazing, highly recommend first paw - great option for pets that freak out going to the vet, a home visit is so convenient!
Lawrence was excellent! So conscientious and careful with my anxious cat. Gave me everything I need. Best mobile vet going around!
Laurence was awesome. My cat, Muse, who was adopted from the RSCPA started to have a bit of nausea. Laurence was able to come to us after 6pm, (during the COVID lockdowns as well) to give Muse a check up. Text message follow ups are also really personable. Muse seemed to warm up to a vet rather quickly and was much more relaxed at home. Will be using Laurence for future check ups!
Found First Paw Mobile Vet using a Google search and booked in. Dr. Laurence visited to do a home vaccination for my 11 year old Bengal cat who absolutely hates her kitty carrier. The experience was great. Dr. Laurence called on arrival to learn more about my cat before coming inside. Such a caring, patient and knowledgeable human who clearly cares about animals and their wellbeing. I highly recommend First Paw Mobile Vet
The mobile VET was fantastic! Found this to be super convenient as we found ourselves constantly postponing getting to the VET for our cats' standard vaccinations and boosters. Laurence was on time and courteous and explained everything really well....he even talked us through a few different treatment options (without adding any pressure). Archie and Willow say thank you! Will be using again.
How it works

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. Follow ups will be carried out in the subsequent days as indicated, with your pet’s visit history being sent to any regular or referral veterinary clinic if required.
