Thanks for your prompt response. I'm very happy with the service. The vet was nice and gentle with my cat. They take very serious the appointment. We spent around 30 minutes detailing the symptoms by phone and then he approached to treated her. Taking caution by the COVID 19 crisis. I truly recommend and I'll be contact them again if something happens.

Laurence is a wonderful vet & when i had a dilemma regarding my new puppy needing next vacc, he was the only vet that delivered on his promise of care. He has a lovely way about him & made my Chihuahua puppy 'Dobby', feel very calm. 'Dobby' had only recently arrived all the way from Queensland & the thought of being in a veterinary clinic for me, would've been too stressful. Traumer still lingers from my last dog aged 13, dying in my arms at another clinic. This was a joy & well woth it. Calm pooch, calm owner, great vet. Thank you Laurence

We had a fantastic experience with First Paw Mobile Vet when our large dog developed an eye infection. Dr Lawrence was super professional yet personal and took great care to make both humans and animal comfortable. He was delicate and very knowledgeable, and not having to leave ourhour was a great bonus. I would highly recommend this vet.

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.

Laurence was very through and caring. He was respectful of my dogs attitude to strangers and in particulary vets without neglecting him.He asked lots of question to be able to understand my dogs issues. Happy how the experience went as there was no stressful scenes trying to get my dog to a vet. Also checked on my elderly cats and didn't seem distressed by the experience. Overall very happy fur family thank you

Laurence was awesome. My cat, Muse, who was adopted from the RSCPA started to have a bit of nausea. Laurence was able to come to us after 6pm, (during the COVID lockdowns as well) to give Muse a check up. Text message follow ups are also really personable. Muse seemed to warm up to a vet rather quickly and was much more relaxed at home. Will be using Laurence for future check ups!

Lawrence was amazing! On time, efficient and gave me so much useful information regarding health of my cat and what I can do to assist her in the future. I will definitely be using First Paw in the future and would recommend anyone in the CBD area to use Lawrence as their vet!

Laurence was brilliant with Barkley, my stag hound cross. Barkley gets very excited around opinionated small dogs so trips to the vet are a bit of a nightmare. It was such a relief to get seen at home.Thanks so much.

Can’t express enough how great Vet Laurence is - he’s incredibly thorough, caring, knowledgeable and really takes the time to explain everything to you. His online booking platform is also incredibly seamless - I booked a phone consultation on the day of and paid with PayPal - took about 2 minutes. My partner and I were both saying we wish he was our doctor, as the level of care is far superior to any GP we’ve ever had! 😂 all in all a great experience and we will continue to use Laurence as our primary Vet for our little Chips.

We booked last minute on a Friday night and Dr Laurence was here exactly on time Saturday morning. We had just adopted our very skittish cat and Dr Laurence handled him with such care. I really appreciated the follow up texts a few day later. I will only be using First Paw in future for the convenience and affordability (not much more than I've paid for in office visits which can be traumatic for both pet and owner). I highly recommend Dr Laurence!

My little doggy "George" needed a doctor and I'm new to Melbourne and wasn't sure where to go. Dr Laurence came to the rescue and was very professional and thorough. He even texted to check up on George the day after. Dr Laurence shows that extra level of care that my furry little guy deserves. Thank You First Paw :)

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 !!!

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!

Loved the First Paw Mobile Vet service. We have two cats that get quite anxious in car rides, so we decided to try a mobile vet and loved the experience. Laurence was very thorough and was great at taking me through the components of the check up and next step. Would definitely recommend.

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 and his professional, empathetic and calming nature has become an instant friend to our two dogs. Aside from his professionalism, punctuality and amazing vet knowledge he is a naturally endearing person who made our 14 year old lab feel at ease while he thoroughly checked her out, and engaged with our children and us as if we had known him forever. The trauma of trying to get an ageing Lab with bad legs into a 4wd to go to the vet is horrible, but having Laurence come to us for a highly reasonable fee has made such a difference to us. Sadly there will come a time in the future that we will have to farewell our old girl and it brings peace of mind to my family that we have Laurence to go through this painful time with. We can't recommend him highly enough and wish we had found him sooner.

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.

I’m very happy with this vet that I met for my cat’s check up last week, very professional Laurence ..I have saved his number so hopefully for next check up I can call him again.

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!

I moved to the city about a year ago and it's not very convenient to get 2 cats and a puppy to the vet!I looked on Google and came across First Paw - booking online was extremely simple and offered great hours of availability.Laurence himself is very patient - my puppy is wriggly, one cat hates strangers and the other loves to go through all the equipment! - and very methodical whilst also getting things done quickly to reduce their stress.Very pleased and would recommend his services to anyone :)

We were delighted to welcome Dr Laurence to visit our two 11-year-old dogs at home. We were not disappointed. A visit to the vet is not a happy day for them or us, and our golden retriever, in particular, becomes very stressed. However, both dogs welcomed their new friend, who quickly created an atmosphere of calm and ease. Despite some prodding, etc, both remained relaxed, comfortable and happy. Dr Laurence was very thorough, knowledgeable and inclusive. He answered questions and invited discussion and the entire visit was unhurried and relaxed. We are fortunate, indeed, to find a vet of this calibre with so much warmth and understanding. We thank you very much. Camberwell, Victoria.

Thank you Laurence!First time we have used this service, and very impressed. Our cat hated going to the vet, and would work themselves into a complete hissing biting ball of fury. But in using this service, he was able to examined, and gets his vaccinations with no stress and in his own home environment. Both less stressful for the cat and us.We will use again, and would highly recommend.

Our first visit from Dr Laurence was fantastic. We have 4 furry family members (2 dogs and 2 cats). It was so convenient having a home visit for their vaccinations especially the cats who hate being bundled into the carrier and freak out at the vet. Dr Laurence is such a natural with animals and had them all very relaxed and happy to have their check ups and shots (even the cats who normally are less than keen to be handled ). He was super patient and reassuring and very thorough checking on all aspects of their health. The trimming the nails of a cat who was less than thrilled at the prospect and normally loses it if anyone tries, was particularly appreciated. Booking was straightforward online and the cost was very reasonable. Thanks Dr Laurence - Muffy, Mojo, Callie and Andy look forward to your next visit (and the treats!). We will definitely use you again and highly recommend to others.

Cannot fault Laurence with how he treated my cat. He was attentive and took the time to explain the medication thoroughly as well as her condition. Having her treated at home also greatly reduces the stress she feels when being transported to the vets. First Paw Mobile Vet is an invaluable service. Will not hesitate to call Laurence again when veterinary attention is needed.

What a great service! Laurence was thorough with his check up of my golden retriever. I couldn't recommend this service more for your pet as it took the stress out of going to the vet especially during this time when you can't be with them in the consultations room.

Laurence took amazing care of our little 11 week old pup - his love for animals really shows in his excellent service and attention to detail. Can't recommend him enough - if you're trying to make sure your puppy has a good first impression with a vet, this is it!

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.

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.

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.

Lorence was very helpful and went to a great length to be able to care for my fury friend Jerry. His gentleness and live for animals was seen and his passionate about what he does, would definitely call lorence out again and would recommend his care.
