Definitely book Firstpaw again for my puppy. The best VET ever as Dr. Laurence was very helpful , professional and gentle to my baby, Coco was really like him and relaxed as she always wanted to play with Dr Laurence. He also gave us a lot of advices and how to take care of the puppy. Thanks again for giving my puppy the best vaccinal experience.
First Paw and Dr Laurence have been great! We booked a check up for our cat as he had a sore eye, deciding that the best option was a mobile vet as he is extremely nervous. Laurence was able to calm him down really quickly and was really thorough, juggling tests and equipment whilst keeping the cat calm and still. He gave the eye a good clean and the cat was immediately more happy afterwards, and he also prescribed a course of treatment which has completely cleared the issue up. Laurence has checked in a few times after the appointment to see how our cat is going, and has really shown that he cares and wants him to get better. I would highly recommend First Paw!
Laurence was great especially dealing with my German Shepard. Highly recommended!
Laurence is an excellent vet and his mobile visit to my cat Ruby was 100% better than having to take her to a vet. Highly recommend! Less stress for all concerned.
You can see the passion for animals in the eyes of Dr Laurence when he interacts with your pet. He was incredibly easy to talk to and detail oriented to the tee. He even provided a puppy starter guide to help make our lives easier. Definitely give him a buzz if you are looking for a mobile vet!
The mobile vet service with Dr Laurence was very professional, thoughtful and informative and I am very satisfied with the service. He was very gentle with my puppy, and my dog seems very happy too. The communication is also very clear starting from arrival until done. I would recommend him if you guys are looking for a mobile service for your pet 😊
The convenience of First Paw is next to none. My 10.5 year old Stanley dog hurt his back and was beside himself with anxiety from the pain. The last thing I wanted to do was put him in the car and take him to the vet, a place that makes him even more anxious! Finding Laurence at First Paw was my greatest discovery ever! Laurence was so calm, gentle and patient with Stanley. He took his time to assess the problem and explained everything we needed to do to achieve recovery. Stanley is back to his normal self and I couldn’t be happier with this service!
I’m so so happy with my experience from first paw mobile vet. It seriously was amazing as me and my partner work a fair bit so it worked out perfectly.. The service was defiantly 5 stars!!!! He went over sookie my cat so thoroughly and gave us some great advice. I would highly recommend the first paw mobile vet and it’s a reasonable price too :) Thanks again guys !!!!! :)))))
Laurence was very professional and caring. I will use First Paws for my future pet care.
Awesome vet! Great with Benji, did his vaccination and check up thoroughly, while maintaining his friendly smile the whole time. Benji loves him, and everything is soooo convenient for us! Thank you for coming over and did such a great job, will definitely come back for the next one.
As a first time cat adopter I reached out to First Paw for a health check for Hedy and some general advice on her care. Laurence was punctual, communicative, clearly loves animals and was very generous with his time and guidance. I wouldn't hesitate to call First Paw again for their caring approach, not to mention convenience and professionalism. Thanks Laurence!
My English pointer hates going to the vet and the waiting room really stressed him out. Having a vet come to my home was super handy and my dog got along really well with the friendly and very thorough vet, Dr Laurence Gulifer. Highly recommend.
