About Us
Family Owned, Family Led—for Your Family
Expert care, the personal touch
Highgate Veterinary Clinic in North London is truly independent, owned and run by Dr Jennie Lefkowitz and husband Matt Craggs, with a little help from our dog Odin.
We're rooted in our Highgate community, building long-term relationships with pets and their families.
As an RCVS Accredited Clinic, you can trust that we've been independently assessed and meet rigorous standards across every aspect of veterinary care.
Our beliefs and values
Why we’re right for your family
Expert care, the personal touch
We believe in veterinary care with the personal touch, not only in the way patients and their owners are cared for but also the welfare of the practice team.
A supported team - better care
We're built on supporting our team—because valued, healthy veterinary professionals provide better care.
Open, respectful communication
We believe in open, honest conversations about what's best for your pet, what it costs, and what works for your life. No pressure, no judgement—just a plan that respects you both, every step of the way.
Fair pricing & accessible care
We’re committed to fair, transparent pricing that makes good medicine accessible, not stressful.
Established in 2022
Our story
Highgate Veterinary Clinic in North London opened in May 2022, but the idea behind it started several years earlier. Jennie had been managing a practice for a local corporate veterinary group, and during that time, it became clear that some aspects of corporate care didn't align with how she believed animals, or people, should be treated. Jennie and Matt wanted to create something different—a family owned, family-led veterinary practice where people are looked after as much as pets.
Our beliefs and values (above) have guided us as we've built our independent Pond Square practice in Highgate, North London. Delivering the best possible care in a calm, relaxing environment is and always will be our guiding purpose.
