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.

Great mobile vet service. Detailed pre visit phone call, courteous and professional. Followed up afterwards with regular text messages. This was my first experience with a mobile vet, and it was amazing. We have a very nervous cat, who hates being in the carrier, even for a 5 minute drive to our regular vet. This was a much better experience for all of us. Our cat was so much more chilled about everything, and as a result, so was I. Will happily use this service again for routine vet visits.
Booking process is all online and simple to follow. The vet came on time and was very professional. Service is super convenient especially if you don't have a car in the city. Prices are fair for the service provided.
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!
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 😊
First Paws was a fantastic experience! My staffy Marli becomes anxious around other dogs which makes seeing a vet difficult. Laurence was communicative, knowledgeable, and empathetic. He connected with Marli easily. He genuinely listened to our concerns and her history, and made helpful, insightful recommendations in order to benefit her health. Furthermore, he paid attention to her wellbeing -not just her physical health- which is imperative but can be hard to find in a vet. I highly recommend First Paws.
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.
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!
Had great service from Lawrence who was away on leave, but still called me back regarding our new puppys health check enquriy, and whilst he wasnt able to see us at the last minute which was completly reasonable, even took the time to answer questions, give further recommendations to others and also sent a free e book, will defintely keep in mind for our next visit.
Laurence was on time and very thorough. He was excellent with Tofu during the appointment and I was extremely impressed with the quality of the follow up and support after the initial consultation. Having recently moved to Melbourne it's a relief to have found their new vet on the first try. Thanks again Laurence!!!
Laurence was amazing with my new whippet puppy! He was thorough and explained the entire process from start to end, and had great advice.
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.
I was so worried about our cat seeing Dr Laurence as he is a real scaredy cat of people he doesn’t know. Dr Laurence was so wonderful with him and our cat wasn’t as scared as I thought he would be, and let him perform an examination - I was so relieved.😃 Dr Laurence is so professional, gentle and caring, I would definitely recommend him to care for your pets. The mobile service is so helpful as we live in Melbourne CBD and we don’t have a car. Thank you Dr Lawrence, we really appreciate your kind, friendly service.
