Why Toorak pet owners choose First Paw Mobile Veterinarian

Between tight heritage driveways, busy professional schedules, and pets who find clinic visits stressful, a mobile vet simply fits Toorak life better than a traditional clinic appointment.

Skip the Toorak Road traffic and parking

Skip the drive across Toorak Road or Malvern Road and the parking hunt near Toorak Village. First Paw comes to your door at a set time.

Gentler on small breeds and senior pets

Toorak is full of Cavoodles, Frenchies and older companions. Examining them at home avoids waiting-room stress, barking strangers, and the anxiety many small dogs show in clinics.

Privacy and time that suits your schedule

First Paw Mobile Veterinarian works around you. Appointments start on time in your home or garden, with no shared waiting room and no rushed consult.

Toorak Pets Live well, and First Paw Mobile Veterinarian aims to keeps it that way.

Morning walks along the Yarra trail at Como Park, off-leash runs at Grant Avenue Reserve, and weekend strolls through Toorak Village mean plenty of exposure to grass seeds, paspalum, and the occasional bindi picked up in Orrong Park. If your dog comes home itching after a loop around Hedgeley Dene Gardens, or your cat slips out into the leafy backyards off St Georges Road, a same-week home visit is easier than squeezing into a clinic. For pampered cats who never leave the house, annual checks happen on the windowsill they already love. Dr Laurence covers all of Toorak, 3142, without the stress of a car trip down Toorak Road.

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!

Dr Laurence has treated both my staghound cross Barkley and my pointer cross Evie. Evie is a rescue and not that keen on men but she came around to Dr Laurence. Thanks so much.

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!

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!

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

Laurence was great !!! I chose him because he had all 5 star reviews...now I understand why. He was thorough, gentle & so caring to our large sore dog & was genuinely excited when the treatment worked. He'll be our regular vet from now on !!!
