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.

So convenient, really lovely experience
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. 🐈
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.
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.
The stress of taking my kitten to the vet completely disappeared once I found Dr. Laurence, who offers home visits. The entire process was seamless—he even handled the vaccination in seconds! His expertise and advice on how to properly care for my little guy were incredibly helpful and much appreciated. Highly recommend!
Would highly recommend good Dr Lawrence. He showed lots passion to his work and genuinely seems to care for the animal patients that he treats. Last week he looked after two Newfoundlands with routine injections. He offered lot of his time by giving very helpful advice on taking care of large breed doggos. He seems quite knowledgeable about large breed dogos and offered his valuable time to consult on their dietary requirements, teeth-care and also general health and wellbeing. Also inquired about worming and how I care for the doggos. Did not expect that sort of kindness and it is invaluable advice. Again would highly recommend good Dr Lawrence. If you read this Dr, sir thank you a lot for your assistance and care.
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 is a fantastic vet with a gentle touch. My Leo went through multiple surgeries and vet stays last year and as a result, is terrified of vet visits. Laurence took the time to let Leo check him out and become comfortable with him before he tried to examine him. It made a huge difference to a cat that usually has to be sedated before he can be treated. I’m not sure Leo even noticed the vaccination he was given. Having a vet come to me instead of putting Leo through the stress of a car ride and unfamiliar space made for a very relaxed cat. Laurence was thorough and ask all the right questions so I was as relaxed as the cat knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend this service and would definitely use it again.
Dr Laurence is very caring and called us to cancel our appointment and urge us to take our cat to the 24hr vet, where we are now! Recommended!
Laurence was very patient and kind with my rather highly strung terriers. They liked him despite the vaccinations! It was so much easier and relaxed than taking them to the vet. Thanks Laurence.
Dr Laurence is an exceptional vet and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He is reliable and responsive. When he visited my home, he quickly worked out the best approach for my dog's needs with care and insight. High degree of professionalism combined with a genuine, down-to-earth manner. He followed up afterwards to make sure everything was going well. It’s a relief to find a vet so thoughtful, skilled and easy to deal with.
After much searching for a mobile vet in the area, I found Laurence. Laurence was quick to respond and extremely thorough and efficient pre visit, during the visit and post visit. He diagnosed and treated Claude who has made a speedy recovery. I wouldn’t hesitate in contacting Laurence again and would recommend him.
