Dr. Laurence responds to his messages/calls super quick making it easy to book a checkup for my 2 new cats. He gave me lost of advice and tips on how to keep them in top health, and seems really knowledgeable.It was incredibly convenient for me as the cats are quite timid, and it seems that they were more comfortable as the checkup was in an environment they were semi-familiar with. Appreciate the work! Thanks!

Dr Laurence is very professional and did thorough checks for my dog Bagel. The home visit service is really convenient too! Thanks again!

Loved the First Paw Mobile Vet service. We have two cats that get quite anxious in car rides, so we decided to try a mobile vet and loved the experience. Laurence was very thorough and was great at taking me through the components of the check up and next step. Would definitely recommend.

Dr Lawrence was incredibly thorough. He explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand and answered all of my questions. He gave really helpful insight into what the future care of my doggo might look like. I highly recommend First Paw Mobile Vet, and will be using them again in the future.

I had Lawrence, and he was great! Gave great advise, was easy to understand. Would highly recommend him. Always keeps in contact with you even after the appointment to check up on things.

Dr. Laurence and his professional, empathetic and calming nature has become an instant friend to our two dogs. Aside from his professionalism, punctuality and amazing vet knowledge he is a naturally endearing person who made our 14 year old lab feel at ease while he thoroughly checked her out, and engaged with our children and us as if we had known him forever. The trauma of trying to get an ageing Lab with bad legs into a 4wd to go to the vet is horrible, but having Laurence come to us for a highly reasonable fee has made such a difference to us. Sadly there will come a time in the future that we will have to farewell our old girl and it brings peace of mind to my family that we have Laurence to go through this painful time with. We can't recommend him highly enough and wish we had found him sooner.

Dr Laurence from First Paw is great! He is very thorough & took the time to explain all his recommendations. He also gave genuine solutions to a range of concerns. The best part...all in the comfort of our home! So my dog experienced less stress & was much more comfortable than when we have to head to the vet, which of course made me less stressed too! Definitely recommend & will use again.

I’m very happy with this vet that I met for my cat’s check up last week, very professional Laurence ..I have saved his number so hopefully for next check up I can call him again.

Jeanette Pritchard

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!

I moved to the city about a year ago and it's not very convenient to get 2 cats and a puppy to the vet!I looked on Google and came across First Paw - booking online was extremely simple and offered great hours of availability.Laurence himself is very patient - my puppy is wriggly, one cat hates strangers and the other loves to go through all the equipment! - and very methodical whilst also getting things done quickly to reduce their stress.Very pleased and would recommend his services to anyone :)

Laurence was FANTASTIC! Having a toddler running a muck and 6 pets that needed tending to - It was made a breeze in the comfort of my home by First Paw Mobile Vet...from booking right through to payment it all worked effortlessly.Cannot recommend you enough...thanks L!

We were delighted to welcome Dr Laurence to visit our two 11-year-old dogs at home. We were not disappointed. A visit to the vet is not a happy day for them or us, and our golden retriever, in particular, becomes very stressed. However, both dogs welcomed their new friend, who quickly created an atmosphere of calm and ease. Despite some prodding, etc, both remained relaxed, comfortable and happy. Dr Laurence was very thorough, knowledgeable and inclusive. He answered questions and invited discussion and the entire visit was unhurried and relaxed. We are fortunate, indeed, to find a vet of this calibre with so much warmth and understanding. We thank you very much. Camberwell, Victoria.

Thank you Laurence!First time we have used this service, and very impressed. Our cat hated going to the vet, and would work themselves into a complete hissing biting ball of fury. But in using this service, he was able to examined, and gets his vaccinations with no stress and in his own home environment. Both less stressful for the cat and us.We will use again, and would highly recommend.

Our first visit from Dr Laurence was fantastic. We have 4 furry family members (2 dogs and 2 cats). It was so convenient having a home visit for their vaccinations especially the cats who hate being bundled into the carrier and freak out at the vet. Dr Laurence is such a natural with animals and had them all very relaxed and happy to have their check ups and shots (even the cats who normally are less than keen to be handled ). He was super patient and reassuring and very thorough checking on all aspects of their health. The trimming the nails of a cat who was less than thrilled at the prospect and normally loses it if anyone tries, was particularly appreciated. Booking was straightforward online and the cost was very reasonable. Thanks Dr Laurence - Muffy, Mojo, Callie and Andy look forward to your next visit (and the treats!). We will definitely use you again and highly recommend to others.

Cannot fault Laurence with how he treated my cat. He was attentive and took the time to explain the medication thoroughly as well as her condition. Having her treated at home also greatly reduces the stress she feels when being transported to the vets. First Paw Mobile Vet is an invaluable service. Will not hesitate to call Laurence again when veterinary attention is needed.

Rosanna Mitchell

03:07 26 May 20

What a great service! Laurence was thorough with his check up of my golden retriever. I couldn't recommend this service more for your pet as it took the stress out of going to the vet especially during this time when you can't be with them in the consultations room.

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!

Wasn't sure what to expect with the mobile vet - but I thought it was worth a shot. Going to the vet used to be such an ordeal with 2 x adult rottweiler x french mastiffs - I would have to take them separately, and would be so nervous about whether there would be other pets in the small lobby, etc. In contrast, Dr Laurence came to our house (this was outside his normal area, but for a small fee didn't mind coming). He called in advance and took time to understand what my concerns were. He was very up front about any limitations that home visits offer (he obviously doesn't have all the testing and facilities of a normal vet). However - i was willing to give it a go. The day of the visit, we did one dog at a time in the carport (COVID-19), and he was very thorough with their examinations. He noticed issues my previous vet hadn't and was also was able to take some samples of some suspicious looking lumps (which he then sends away for fast testing), and meant I didn't have to get this done in-house at a vet. I liked the fact he was very detailed - didn't shrug off any of my concerns. Dr Laurence has a positive attitude and a really laid-back, friendly demeanour. He was good with the dogs, and very generous with his time. He followed up to see how the dogs were going, and called to explain the results a few days later. Would definitely recommend First Paw...general health checks can be done in the ease of your own home - and if your pets need follow up care in-house at a vet clinic, he'll advise on where to go/and what to request.

Laurance is a really nice and professional vet. He let me know more about my pets and gave me some useful advice. Moreover, he is punctual and be patient on my questions. So I will highly recommend to choose Laurance to be your pet’s vet.

I got my puppy during the COVID-19 distancing rules, and was pleased to find First Paw Mobile Vet could come to my house so I could be with my puppy while he got his exam and vaccination. They were diligent about wearing a mask & gloves, hand washing, keeping distance from me as much as possible, and keeping the time in my home short, to minimise risk to me and my household, as well as the community. Dr Laurence was thorough, professional and friendly.

Lorence was very helpful and went to a great length to be able to care for my fury friend Jerry. His gentleness and live for animals was seen and his passionate about what he does, would definitely call lorence out again and would recommend his care.

Professional and caring, First Paw Mobile Vet organised an appointment quickly and ensured I had everything I needed both in terms of medical care and information to handle my cat's issue.

Matt O’Grady

100% recommend, on time, caring and took a personal interest, even went above and beyond to reach out the next day to check up on how the cat was doing after a simple yearly injection..

Dr Laurence was absolutely wonderful with my 16.2 year old Labrador. We have used his service 3 times now and I can't highly recommend him enough. He was very gentle, caring and thorough and went above and beyond with #SpencerTheDog's mobility issues. Thank you once again!

Monique G

Dr Laurence was excellent with our 8 year old nervous cat. He clearly loves animals and took the time to get to know our cat and his history. He also provided detailed advice which was appreciated. Highly recommended.

Dr Laurence came to our house earlier this week to treat our Staffy x who had been unwell for a few days. He arrived before time and greeted us all so warmly and with such a calm demeanour. He took the time to listen to the history as he sat on the floor giving our usually highly anxious dog a chance to relax and approach Laurence in his own time. Laurence was extremely knowledgable and took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure every base was covered. He works closely with the local vet clinics and is careful to present the options. He even discovered a dental issue with our dog that had previously gone unnoticed so that was a bonus of the examination. Vet visits are usually highly stressful for us and our dog so this was such a positive experience, one that we would highly recommend for any pet owner. We will be using First Paw Mobile Vet Service from now on and have already recommended Laurence to friends and neighbours.

Suzie Tawney

05:53 05 Mar 20

Communicative, friendly (to both hoomans and pups), and knowledgeable. We will definitely be seeing him again!

It was lovely meeting Laurence today. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and kind and we will definitely be using this service again. Going to the vet is quite stressful for Bobby, thank you Laurence for making this stress free. Highly recommend, 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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.

Laurence paid our cat Toto a visit last week and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was very thorough in explanation of what his skin related issues may be and organised a course of medication. He then followed up to see how Toto was going after a few days of being on the medication. I highly recommend First Paw, particularly with pets that don’t travel particularly well.

04:32 14 Feb 20

Dr Laurence was great, he spent time really getting to know my 8 week old puppy, examining and playing with him. He also took care to talk me through some common conditions of the breed, plus best practice for training. He’s been back since and received a very warm welcome from our pup. Highly recommend.

Ed Giles

Our pup couldn’t be happier after First Paw came and checked him out in his new home. First Paw all the way!

Keera Keeshond

07:49 12 Feb 20

Laurence from First Paw was brilliant and I would totally recommend this service. I have a 13 year old Keeshond who has a medical history that would rival most humans and therefore it is almost impossible to get her into the car and to the vets. Laurence was the 14th mobile vet I had called ( none of the others would service my area no matter how ill my pet was). Laurence promptly returned my call and after asking questions he had a fairly good idea of what he was dealing with. Happy to attend the same day and after hours, Laurence called to confirm he was on his way and came spot on the allotted time. He carefully checked Keera’s vitals first and then went on to clean and medicate what turned out to be an open wound that was weeping and bleeding. Laurence explained everything step of the procedure as he went and Keera was calm throughout the entire experience. Add to this, I also received a follow up text the next day to see how the patient was doing. I have used other home vets previously and none have been as thorough and genuinely concerned for Keera’s wellbeing.I would highly recommended and definitely use this service again!!

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.

Laura Collister

11:07 26 Jan 20

Laurence visited our home when we were desperate. We had a suddenly anxious and aggressive cat - there is no way we could get near her to take her anywhere. He visited the same evening I rang and after taking a detailed history recommended a course of action that so far ( fingers crossed) is seeing my Kitty return to normal. I would have paid anything for help to settle my cat - his $99 visit was far less than I expected and cheaper than visiting my local vet.I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.Laura

07:34 22 Jan 20

Laurence was a very calm presence around my often skittish cat and provided helpful advice about dental care.

Sara Grapski

05:39 22 Jan 20

We have an extremely anxious dog so vet visits are really stressful for him. I was hoping First Paw mobile vet would be a better experience and it 100% was. Laurence was very patient, he took the time to listen to the concerns and to get a thorough background history. He was awesome with our dog, and basically accomplished more in 30 minutes than we've ever been able to do at a vet office. Laurence was also good at explaining everything and followed up the next day. I would highly recommend First Paw and definitely will be using them again!

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!

Great experience! Handy not having to leave the house. Recommend Laurence, really knows his stuff.

Carol B

09:50 25 Nov 19

Highly recommend First Paw, my cat was so much calmer having a vet attend to her at home. I think she even liked Laurence despite all the prodding and poking as he has a nice caring demeanour which put her (and her distressed human - me) at ease. Thank you!

Grant Archibald

04:11 24 Nov 19

Professional, prompt and positive. Our dog Bill is ageing, getting a bit territorial and not so vet-clinic friendly. First Paw visiting him in his own environment was a great experience for us all. Thank you Lawrence for your thorough consultation, gentle manner and helpful advice. Will be recommending First Paw to all our dog walking mates.

Graham Nolan

08:40 16 Nov 19

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.

Jo Cranwell

23:43 14 Nov 19

If there were more stars to give they would most certainly be given. Dr Laurence quickly became little Charlotte's favourite vet ever. Every detail, from booking to confirmation and actual home visit was exceptional. And all at a reasonable cost. We highly recommend First Paw

Jaida Kelso

14:04 14 Nov 19

He was amazing with my puppy Sasha! He knows what he’s doing and explained everything to me so well, he answered all my questions. He went the extra mile and came to my area which is definitely worth the extra fee charge! He’s fantastic and I don’t know how to describe it! 10/10

Loved the convenience! Dr Laurence was very helpful, I have a newborn and both my newborn and wife were sick and we needed to take Rocco to the Vet and instead we got Laurence to come and asisst without having to leave the house. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Will tell friends.

Rachael Y

Melissa Hay

We found First Paw Mobile Vet on Instagram and booked our Burmese kitten in to have a check up and his third vaccination. Laurence happily answered all of our Cat questions, checked our boy Banjo over and administered his vaccinations all in the comfort of our home. Being a busy working family with three kids, this was the perfect solution for us to take the stress out of getting in to a clinc. I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Laurence to any Melbourne pet owner!

Darren PATTERSON

08:53 12 Aug 19

We loved having Dr.Laurence visit! So thorough and informative, and coming to us when my wife is 30 weeks pregnant was a God send, and will be so handy after the baby arrives. Thank you!!

Sarah Wade

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!

Olivia Sullivan

02:33 12 Jul 19

A very friendly and gentle vet who came to my house to see my cats. The cats were much more relaxed during their exam than taking them to a clinic. Will defiantly use First Paw again.

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.
