Medivet Hampstead Village (2025)

Grant Van Lelyveld

Lead Veterinary Surgeon

I qualified in South Africa in 2012 from the University of Pretoria, Ondertepoort. I have always been surrounded by animals, from dogs to cows (many being my own pets) and I intend to continue to be surrounded by animals. I just wish that I could talk to the animals and talk with the animals…

With over a decade of experience in the veterinary industry, I began my career as a nurse in 2007, working in general practice as well as veterinary hospitals. I transitioned to handling insurance claims for multiple Medivet practices, where I use my nursing background to provide expert assistance with claims processing. I have a little golden oldie terrier called Tsuki and 2 cats called Bluebell and Forest.

Tippy

Practice Mascot

Tippy is a charming Cavachon who roams the practice as our beloved mascot. She adores her ball and thrives on the affection she receives from the team. While she can sometimes be a bit fussy with food, a bit of chicken always makes her happy. Though she has a sassy side, Tippy's playful spirit and loving nature make her an irreplaceable part of our practice.
