Zasman Vet Hampstead

I was born in South Africa where I developed a love of nature and animals. We always had dogs while I was growing up but my passion for animals extended to more exotic species and I ended up keeping fish, hamsters, birds, snakes and frogs. I wanted to become a vet as early as six years of age, there was never another career choice as far as I was concerned. I spent many of my school holidays and weekends helping at my local vets until I went to University to study for my veterinary degree. I spent the next year and a half in the army where I treated both dogs and horses. It was at this time that I made the decision to leave for the UK where the standard of pet welfare is the highest in the world and where pets are truly part of the family.

I opened the first Zasman Vet practice in 1996 and it is still a family run group today. I am living the dream, I Iook forward to coming to work every day and the challenge of helping another pet.
