Who We Are

Canobie Lake Veterinary Hospital is an 20-year AAHA-accredited general practice and the 2024 AAHA Practice of the Year. We are a multi-species hospital in Windham, NH that has built a genuine reputation for excellence in both companion animal and exotic medicine. Our culture runs on Conscious Care®—a trademarked program developed by our owner that centers on compassion for self, team, clients, patients, and community. This isn’t a buzzword. It’s how we actually operate.

We are partnered with Alliance Animal Health, but our owner—a 28-year veterinary practice veteran and passionate advocate for both her patients and her team—remains deeply invested and actively involved. She has created a hospital where people want to stay, grow, and do their best work.

Your Patients

This is the part that sets us apart. Half of our caseload is avian and exotic, which means you’ll spend your days working with the full spectrum of traditional and non-traditional species. No two days look alike. The diagnostic puzzles are real, the medicine is nuanced, and the clients are devoted. This is exotic medicine done right—with the equipment, the support staff, and the culture to back it up.

Job Description
