What our customers say about us
We have been rated 5 stars not just for our expertise but also for our compassion towards animals and customer service.
The stress of taking my kitten to the vet completely disappeared once I found Dr. Laurence, who offers home visits. The entire process was seamless—he even handled the vaccination in seconds! His expertise and advice on how to properly care for my little guy were incredibly helpful and much appreciated. Highly recommend!
Wonderful mobile vet and great service. Dr Lawrence Gullifer is very knowlegible and friendly. Highly recommended.
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!
Great service, very attentive to the pets.
Requested Dr Laurence come to my house for my cute Bengal kittens final F3 shot. He was so lovely, my kitten was really non fussed by the experience. Dr Laurence then checked in with me a couple of days later to make sure she was alright. She was and so was I as the worried cat mama, so I’ll definitely be calling on First Paws again next time I need a vet.
Nothing but good things to say about Laurence! He was responsive, reliable, super caring and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend and also really great value
Friendly, knowledgeable and timely service. Helped with my cats needs and also gave useful general health advice. Would definitely go with First Paw again.
Recently, in a time of need for my elderly German Shepherd, I discovered Dr Laurence. Dr Laurence proved to be quite an incredible young man, someone who took the time to understand the situation completely, who with his calm and honest presence gave me the confidence and trust in him that his treatment for my canine friend would be most appropriate. I can attest to the fact that his understanding of the situation and decisive, careful yet no fuss action meant my dog’s difficult problem has completely healed and her spirits are revived. I do not hesitate to recommend DrLaurence, not only for his skill as a vet but his considerate kindness, not only to my dog but extended to myself. I thought, after he left what an unusual and amazing experience – very streamlined, as if we had been visited by a light-footed superhero. I recommend him highly.
What a fantastic find. Laurence was calm, gentle and best of all at our place. Getting vaccinations for my cats was such a smooth and easy process for all of us when i didnt have to wrestle them into carriers, take them in the car and have them sit in a waiting room with strange dogs, cats and smells.
Dr Lawrence came to euthanise my beautiful 13 yr old boy. It was a peaceful and calm appointment. I didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable and my boy passed peacefuly in my arms. It was also reasonalbly priced compared to other services I looked into.
Laurence is an amazing vet. Our dog, Scruffy, is very nervous around new people. He made him feel relaxed and calm. He also got the medicine that we needed for him fast and called us to schedule the visit as soon as the medicine arrived. He is fast, reliable, and cares a lot about animals. Cannot recommend him enough!
Laurence was very kind & considerate of my 2 elderly chi’s Was very thorough & provided follow up information after the visit Will continue to call on this service for in home vaccinations 😊
