Mobile Vet in Hawthorn

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful assistance today. We could not have asked for more.

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.

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!!

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!

Laurence is knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate. My boy has mobility issues and home visits make it a lot easier on the both of us. Managed to get an appointment quickly after a no show, no call from another vet.

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.

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.

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%

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 :)

Booked online, very easy and accessible to book. My cat, Bella is an adopted cat and is very stressed going to the vet. Dr Laurence took the time to get to know my concerns and explained my cats history. He also followed up and checked how she was going. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.
