Our pup couldn’t be happier after First Paw came and checked him out in his new home. First Paw all the way!
Laurence is a wonderful friendly vet who has a wealth of knowledge & patience. My little man had a few skin issues and First Paw were able to fit me in straight away & come to my home! I have just had a baby so this was a huge help and the quality of service is nothing short of great! I now have one very happy & relaxed boy, thank you Laurence, would highly recommend First Paw to anyone.
Dr Laurence was COVID SAFE, friendly and thorough. He handled Brian the cat with care and listened carefully to our concerns. He was able to drain Brian’s cyst expertly and quickly, with Brian’s comfort as high priority. We will definitely using this service again as Brian is blind and his vet stress when he has to be carted elsewhere is off the charts. When Dr Laurence came to his home, it was just an interesting experience for Brian. This was such a relief! Thank First Paw!
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!
I'm glad we found First Paw; Dr Laurence was prompt, friendly and professional. He called before the appointment to get some background on our kitten, happily answered all our questions and ended up giving us more than the allotted time which is in no way expected, but showed that he actually cares about the pet he's treating. Will definitely use his service again - living in the city it's really convenient to have a vet visit your home for general check ups.
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.
Dr. Laurence was really professional and amiable. The service was so convenient and great I could rely on him to be punctual and comprehensive. Would highly recommend.
Communicative, friendly (to both hoomans and pups), and knowledgeable. We will definitely be seeing him again!
Laurence was very helpful and generous with his time and the way he helped take care of my two kittens.
