Cannot recommend more highly. Dr Laurence was amazing. Very comprehensive in his assessment, information and follow up. He was very gentle and my cat was totally relaxed with him. I will definitely use First Paw again in the future.
Great experience
Lawrence is a wonderful vet. He called me before coming into my home and asked a lot of questions about my cat Jimmi. So he is really thorough, which I really appreciate. Unfortunately Jimmi isn't a fan of strangers or strange people touching her (same 😆) But with some sedation on her second visit, he managed to do a thorough examination and vaccination. And also gave me some great advice on what to look for when finding a vet to do her dental work. Will definitely be using his services for any future issues with Jimmi.
Dr. Laurence delivers as advertised and then some. He has a genuine care for the well being of our fur baby and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
The best vet service I have had in more than 15 years of dog owning, in the convenience of my own home. Laurence was knowledgeable, professional and followed up multiple time after the visit to make sure my dog is okay. Highly recommended this service!
Absolutely wonderful experience. Dr Laurence was very prompt, patient(with our wiggly boy) and very helpful with all our questions.
Very happy with Dr. Laurence — we found our vet! :-) He was very professional, friendly and very nice to our cat. Will defo call him back for future consultations, checks, etc.
Thank you Laurence.. came outside the service area and was real attentive the whole time with us and our dog. Will definitely be using First Paw again
Excellent service. Fast and friendly and great price too. Paid $268 for both my cats to have a checkup and vaccination. Definitely going here again
Booked an appointment for a home visit vaccination. Booking was easy. Laurence arrived on time and was friendly and professional. Will definitely use these guys again.
Wealth of knowledge from Laurence and really appreciated the follow up messages/advise. Daisy my 10 week old puppy had her second vaccination with him and she absolutely loved him. She was completely at ease with her check up and injection. Daisy is excited for her upcoming final injection and it makes it so much easier from the comfort of your home.
quick service, friendly staff.
My cat isn't the fussiest but I don't drive and he is very heavy to carry, so I opted for a mobile vet. Booking is easy – you can call or book online. The person answering the phone was very friendly and helpful. First Paw was very prompt and very gentle with my cat. The check up, vaccination, and recommendations were handled super efficiently and with care. Aftercare was provided via texted links to PDFs (love this as I am swamped with emails and can't stand loose paper). Very grateful that all pandemic guidelines were followed as I live in a small space, and it made me feel very safe. Thank you, First Paw. I'm recommending this team to all my friends in the inner suburbs 💪🏼🐾
Laurence was very professional and caring. I will use First Paws for my future pet care.
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 great with the dog, take time to explain everything to me.
Like many people I bought a puppy during COVID. Trying to get to Vets that were Open, and had availability, plus maintaining social distancing was difficult. I stumbled over First Paw while researching my options. Finding a vet that did home visits in a safe and professional manner was awesome! They have been with me through the whole gamut of pet owning, from Vaccinations, through to puppy infections, plus I have an allergy dog. First Paw are very responsive when looking for advice, or what to do in an emergency, and all my puppy needs.
Being a first time Pet parent, we had a lot of questions for Laurence and Laurence was very patient and answered all our queries. Our 10 weeks old Pup was very calm around Laurence thus making it a very pleasant experience for us.
Our family member Harry the cat needed his vax papers in order to spend 5 nights in his accomodation whilst we went for a short break. I found Laurence online & I booked an appointment for a weeks time. Laurence was on time and from the moment Harry saw him, he relaxed and had his vax, had his teeth checked and was weighed before he know what was going on. Laurence certainly had a way with animals & we would recommend him 100%
Lawrence was excellent! So conscientious and careful with my anxious cat. Gave me everything I need. Best mobile vet going around!
First Paw Mobile Vet was wonderful to deal with from the get-go. My anxious cat Jesse was due for his annual vaccinations and check-up but doesn’t cope going to the vet clinic. Dr Lawrence provided a thorough phone consult before coming in and set the scene for a smooth and trauma-free appointment. He was fantastic with Jesse and provides an invaluable service for sensitive pets – would highly 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!
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!
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!
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.
Laurence was awesome! Great communication and very easy to deal with. Will definitely be using his services again!
Dr Laurence was great with all three of our cats whom range from docile to crazy. Really takes the stress out of heading into a vet clinic for both owner and pet! Dr Laurence was thorough and professional and went above and beyond.
Dr Laurence was absolutely fantastic. He came to our home to vaccinate and check our three cats, and the whole experience was calm, professional, and stress-free. He handled each of them so gently and took the time to explain everything clearly. It made such a difference not having to take them into a clinic. We will definitely be using him for all our future general check ups and vaccinations. We’re so grateful and would highly recommend his home-visit service!
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!
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!
Punctual, reasonably priced and very thorough. Would recommend!
My pup got her 2nd vaccination and a checkup ! Highly recommend !Couldn’t be happier than this :) he was super gentle with my little pup and knowledgeable and professional! Gave me lots of informations Thank you so much Laurence 😊
Amazing service by Dr Laurence. This was my first time using a mobile vet for my new puppy and I was extremely happy I did. Laurence was very professional from the initial call before meeting little Millie, right up until the very end. He answered all of our questions and provided us with great advice and tips. I would highly recommend First Paw Mobile Vet as this service is next to none. Once again, thanks Laurence for your amazing service.
Laurence is THE BEST VET in town! He is kind, respectful and professional. He knows how to treat pets. Thank you very much! I will recommend Laurence to everyone I know.
Laurence from First Paw’s service was second to none. He showed genuine care and respect for myself and my pup while being quick and effective. He was more than happy to answer any questions I had and provided some great hints and tips to care for pooch. So friendly! The mobile VET service is great and incredibly convenient for us busy city slickers.
Always great service and just what we need for our cat :)
Great Vet. Reliable, accountable, kind and professional. Highly recommended.
It’s been so fantastic having Laurence make home visits to my 12 year Westie Norman. Norman usually hates going to the vet and Laurence’s visits take out all of the anxiety of check/ups for him (and me). Laurence is extremely thorough and professional and works hard to put Norman at ease. Highly recommended.
Dr. Laurence - highly experienced✅ - responsible✅ - gentle to furry friends🐱🐶✅ - very friendly and patience✅ Strongly recommended !!!
Laurence was brilliant - being pandemic times, he made sure to limit the amount of time spent in the apartment by having a phone chat prior to coming up. Very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly, even though Roxy wasn’t the happiest after getting her vaccination, I’m sure she was very glad to avoid the car trip to the vet! Such an easy process of booking, made the whole experience wonderful.
The doctor is very friendly, nice and knowledgable which i love it do much. Thank you for the service.
Since the first day my old Labrador met Dr Laurence, we realized how excellent professional he is. He took the time to answer all my questions, listened to Koome history and continued a follow-up after the visit. In addition, he is sensitive friendly and nice with pet owners. So, without doubt, when my almost 16-year-old dog needed to say goodbye to us, I called Laurence to accompany Koome to the end of her beautiful life. He and the nurse were very respectful and sensitive at this difficult time. Koome slept peacefully in the best hands. He is really the best vet I met, and I recommend him 100%. Thanks Laurence, I really appreciate your professional, kind and amazing service!
Absolutely fantastic service by Laurence! Was punctual and professional and answered all the questions I had about my little cat! I would recommend to anyone looking for an at home vet service!
Dr Laurence was incredibly attentive and professional during his visit. Even though the visit was very short (Kitty got overwhelmed..), he gave me a lot of reassurance and advice for me and Kitty which I truly appreciate. I especially think the phone consult/chat prior to the visit was a really professional touch! Thank you so much Dr. Laurence, we hope to see you again in the future once Kitty settles. Sammy ✨
Laurence was very prompt, asked all the right questions, and showed great care with my sore, big dog. Having him come over for a front porch consultation was so great not to have to lift the dog in and out of the car to the vet. Very comprehensive. Thanks
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.
Dr Laurence is incredible, a 10/10 vet!! He has great energy and is honest, gentle, and highly attentive when it comes to pet care. All of those great qualities made it such an easy and smooth experience for my anxious and shy cat, Bunny. I absolutely recommend First Paw for anyone in the Melbourne area! Thank you :)
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.
Laurence was incredibly kind, and very helpful when he came to check on my cat! He had lots of great advice and my cat felt so much better after getting the necessary injection & medication :)
Dr. Laurence clearly cares for the clients under his care. He is professional with his advice and he follows up to make sure that your pet is doing fine. I'm happy to recommend his services if your pet hates travelling to the vet (like my cat).
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 😊
Dr Laurence is excellent. We appreciate his patience with our kind but anxious rescue as well as his professionalism, experience and depth of knowledge. Highly recommend if you need a vet to come to you.
The humorous and gentle doctor Laurence came to my home with a temperature of 37 degrees to give my kitten a physical examination and vaccination .He got along well with Momo and provided us prefect services. Thank him a lot🥳 …
Dr Laurence puts your mind at ease and is a professional vet. The at home service is convenient for our shy rescue cat who prefers to be in her home surroundings. Typically she likes to venture off and hide, but Laurence has a way of making her feel calm whilst getting her vaccine and check-up. The service is convenient and affordable. The only wish I had, was to have a remember client detail booking feature so we don't have to refill the appointment form each time. Other than that, the service is exceptional. Highly recommend Dr Laurence and First Paw Vet for your pets health and care.
We had an amazing experience with Dr Laurence! Our poor cat was in a bad way with a very swollen face with what appeared to be an infected abscess from an injury caused by a cat or possum. Dr Laurence was very reassuring when he arrived to our home and took it one step at a time to inspect and treat our fur boy! It was so scary seeing our cat so unwell so the last thing I wanted to do was pop him in a cage to take him to the vet - it would have been even more distressing. The professionalism and empathy he showed towards myself and our cat made it clear to me that he is in the right field of work. From injections, to a shaved cheek and small procedure, temperature and weight checks - all was covered in one home visit. I take my hat off to you! Thanks for looking after our Pepi. He has had a complete turnaround. Highly recommended vet service. Put me at ease right away! Thank you x 100
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.
The team at First Paw are simply amazing. I am thrilled that this at-home service exists as my little dude Aragorn is terrified by clinics, he's often anxious and sometimes a little too excited! Dr Lawrence was able to administer a vaccination with care and love. We also met the wonderful Dr Abby and team who did a thorough health check - everyone was just lovely and caring of our little guy. Thanks so much team! I'll now be booking First Paw at home any time Aragorn needs a check up, discussion or vaccine.
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
Highly recommend Laurence and “first paws”. Laurence was super responsive, I was able to book an appointment for the next day. Laurence provided assessment for my kitty cat and was able to administer and prescribe pain relief all without me having to leave home and trying to get an unhappy cat to the vet. Thanks so much Laurence 🙂
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!
My cat usually is very scared going to the vet but she wasn’t scared at all and Laurence was so efficient. Thank you!
Dr Laurence was gentle with Henny (our 5yo cat) upon assessing him - most especially during his vaccination. Henny was comfortable with him although awkward, he hasn't seen a vet for a few years and is an indoor cat so the First Paw Mobile Vet service is perfect for him. Dr Laurence was open to answering questions and was also across the info I provided about Henny initially. Great experience for us and Henny - will definitely continue with Dr Laurence for our general vet needs 🙂
Professional, informative and really thoughtful. Dr Laurence was really gentle and patient with my two cats..
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.
Would highly recommend!! Our dog, Pepper, is extremely dog reactive which can make trips to the vet very stressful (for us and for Pepper!) Dr Lawrence was great, the visit was quick and easy, and Pepper was definitely a lot happier and relaxed than if we'd taken her out to the vet. Prices are also very reasonable. Will definitely be using First Paw again
Fab that there is an at home vet service.. was worried how Mr. Lincoln would go with someone around but after hiding in the shower for a sec he was fine. Will definitely use this service again
Such a great service! Dr Laurence was excellent and took time to explain everything. No hidden costs and good value for high quality service. Will definitely use again for my pets. 🐈
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.
My furbaby hates the cat carrier and since I live alone and don’t drive, getting her check up and vaccination done would have been very difficult without the mobile vet! Very friendly and thorough and unlike many vets didn’t treat a cat as less important than other pets. Highly recommend!
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!
I can't get my dog anywhere near a vets since he had to stay 3 nights in the animal hospital at 6 months old; he's very nervous. Dr Laurence was gentle and patient and my dog was treated without causing any of us any stress! I highly recommend Dr Laurence
Great service and a great experience!
Laurence came out to give our new puppy his second lot of injections. It was such a stress-free, positive experience (for both us and our dog) to have such a caring and knowledgeable vet come out to our home. Laurence took the time to carefully discuss all aspects of puppy ownership with us, from diet recommendations to worming plans, and gave Sonny a thorough checkup. We've rebooked for his next injections, and couldn't be happier with the decision to use First Paw Mobile Vet!
So sorry l do have the wrong vet message removed its pawsom not your vet my sincere apologies to you and your vet
Communicative, friendly (to both hoomans and pups), and knowledgeable. We will definitely be seeing him again!
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.
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.
The best vet visit in years! Lawrence was amazing, he was super organised and very caring and thorough with our cat. He was very diligent in his practice and this shows as we had a very happy cat :) looking forward to these yearly visits.
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
First Paw mobile vet is a game changer! Our cat, Frida refused to go in the box to the vet, she seemed traumatised to get in - very defensive and scratchy. Dr Laurence provided a phone consult before coming in and then came over to give Frida her first check up at home. Dr Laurence provided clear instructions and helpful information to keep Frida healthy. He ensured minimal stress for Frida (and us!) and excellent customer service. Highly recommended!
I was very impressed with Laurence. He was very thorough upon arrival and gentle with my highly anxious fur child. He has great knowledge, is very thoughtful and caring, is very personable and provided some good advice. I will definitely be seeking his services in the future.
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!
This was the best service! I wanted to save Tiger the stress of a Vet visit and Laurence was sensational. Booking online was seamless and he rings and does all the history beforehand so he can just concentrate on your pet when he arrives. Complete confidence in Firstpaw! I will be telling all my friends about it.
Usually going to the vet is a stress inducing episode but our cat Nola was so well behaved at home with Laurence with First Paw - we will be using these guys again!
I needed a local vet at short notice and Laurence was able to fit my dog Pip in that day. Laurence was friendly, professional and very reliable. First Paw is a convenient service, and Pip made a speedy recovery thanks to Laurence. Highly recommend. Thank you Laurence!
What an incredible business. I’m not sure if me or my baby pup were more nervous about the first vaccines but Lawrence made me (and more importantly my pooch) feel completely at ease. An excellent service that perfectly slipped in around my (always too busy) work schedule, Lawrence had my pup vaccinated, checked and ready to go about his day before my first meeting had even started. But most importantly he did it without a single whelp or yelp throughout the entire process. After hearing horror stories about dogs terrified of the vet, there is no one else I would call on for shots or check ups. I have referred all my friends.
Laurence and his mobile vet service has been a God-send. I have a three year old cat who is very skittish and ran away for five days last time I took him to the vet. Upon arrival, Laurence stayed in his car and called me so we could work out our strategy re Laurence coming into the house and Gavin my cat being in the right spot where he couldn’t hide or cause harm to Laurence or myself. Laurence was so understanding about my stress levels and the stress levels of Gavin and we worked together to make it a successful visit and I was thrilled to have my furry boy vaccinated for another year. He also had a quick look at my puppy dog’s teeth and confirmed its time to have them cleaned. Thank you Laurence, I will be making you a firm part of my furry family. I couldn’t recommend Laurence more highly. Thank you thank you thank you. Virginia, Gavin and Tilly
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!
Fabulous service. Caring vets who take the time to put you and your beloved family pet at ease. Highly recommended. Will be using 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.
Amazing service and would highly recommend! Laurence was great with my dogs and made them feel super comfortable. He also answered all my questions I had with so much knowledge. Would 100% recommend First Paw mobile vet to anyone.
This was my first time meeting Laurence he was great. From the care for the cats to the care of entering into a home during covid, he and the experience was first class! He gave amazing feedback and recommendations for my cats and I’ve now found my full time vet moving forward.
My beautiful baby boy arti (bull Arab cross) had a bad fall yesterday and so I called Firstpaw mobile vet The lady on the phone was lovley and took all my details The vet ended up having some cancellations and called me to come earlier witch was great for me x He was super sweet and kind and my dogs loved him Very affordable pricing for this amazing quality xx Would highly recommend xx We even got a cute little magnet and a roll of puppy poop bags xx
Laurence was great. It took him one visit to correctly diagnose and resolve an issue our regular vet had missed. He took the time to follow up after our appointment to check how the treatment was going, and the mobile aspect of his service is so much more convenient than trying to get to a clinic.
Wow, Amazing! I have 3 cats and a dog, and what an absolute joy to be able to have someone come to the house. Prompt, the pets liked him, and affordable. Really very thorough. I cannot rate highly enough how amazing it is to have the pets at ease, at home. Will hopefully use again. Thanks!
Excellent advice and care. Seriously well recommended, Laurence (Vet) was extremely helpful, spent time, asked lots of questions, great knowledge base and overall exceptional service.
Laurence was very knowledgeable and compassionate in dealing with my very nervous kitty when she had her check up. The fact that he can come to my home spares us a lot of unnecessary stress. I appreciated the extra follow up - first with some useful aftercare information and then a few days later to see that Meowy was happy and well. I'll be happy to book Laurence for future check ups and would recommend him to anyone who wants to avoid the hassle that comes with getting their reluctant pet to the vet.
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!
Laurence was very thorough and caring and my cats were very calm when being handled by him. I would recommend First Paw Mobile Vet to anyone 🐈🐾
Laurence was very knowledgeable and helpful. Was also very kind and great at dealing with my nervous cat. Thank you and will be contacting again ☺️
