Job description

Are you a confident clinical leader ready to take the next step in your veterinary career with the opportunity for future ownership?

North Bay Animal Hospital is seeking a Managing Veterinarian to lead our well-established, community‑loved practice while shaping its next chapter of growth.

This is more than a leadership role— it’s a chance to influence medical standards, mentor a strong team , and explore equity/ownership potential in a thriving hospital, all while enjoying exceptional work‑life balance in one of Northern Ontario’s most beautiful communities.

About Us

At the heart of our practice is a collaborative, respectful, and patient‑focused team culture. We value open communication, shared decision‑making, and fostering an environment where both our people and the pets we care for can truly thrive.

• Potential buy‑in/ownership opportunity
• Strong operational and administrative support
