About The Company
At Alliance Animal Health, we’re proud to be home to 225+ veterinary practices across the U.S., and we believe that the best medicine and the best culture start at the local level. That’s why we prioritize medical autonomy and support our veterinarians in making the decisions that matter most for your patients and your community. When a practice joins our network, the identity and leadership are maintained. Our role is to be a true partner, offering dedicated support in areas like recruitment, marketing, finance, and operations, so our veterinarians can stay focused on what they do best: caring for their patients.​ Whether you're just getting started in your career, growing in a central support role, or planning for practice ownership, we’re here with personalized pathways and a team that’s behind you the whole way. Our mission is simple: support those made to heal and care for animals while creating a place where veterinary professionals thrive. We build everything on a foundation of our core values: Passion, Engagement, Trust, and Service, a commitment that earned us a spot on Inc.’s Best Workplaces 2025. We’re proud to share that recognition with every member of our team.
About the Role

Company Description

A Practice Where Future Veterinarians Can Thrive/Learn/Grow!

Canobie Lake Veterinary Hospital has been named the Best Veterinary Hospital in North America for 2024-2025 by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), which accredits companion animal veterinary hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. This award was granted after a thorough evaluation against over 900 standards of veterinary excellence.  Our full-service small animal practice provides general medicine, surgery, and dentistry for dogs, cats, avian species, and exotics across three locations in Southern New Hampshire. We focus on efficiency and expertise, treating clients with honesty, kindness, and compassion. Education for clients and staff is essential to our high standard of care, and we value everyone’s input in achieving our vision. 

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology—including a paperless record system, digital radiography, and a full-service in-house lab—we emphasize nutrition, preventive care, and thorough diagnostics. With a doctor-to-staff ratio of 1:7, our highly trained staff supports our veterinarians in providing excellent care.

Located just 40 minutes from Boston, Windham offers a mix of rural and urban living with easy access to outdoor activities like hiking and skiing. Local attractions such as Griffin Park and Johnson’s Highland View Farm are great for family fun, and residents benefit from no general sales tax or personal income tax.
