Windham, NH • 2024 AAHA Practice of the Year • AAHA Accredited 20 Years
Full-Time • 4 Days/Week • Monday–Friday Only • No Weekends
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.

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.

This is exotic medicine done right—with the equipment, the support staff, and the culture to back it up.

Veterinarian Jobs in New Hampshire: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a veterinarian in New Hampshire?
You become a veterinarian in New Hampshire by earning a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from an AVMA-accredited institution, passing the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination, and applying for licensure through the New Hampshire Board of Veterinary Medicine. Applicants must also pass the New Hampshire Veterinary Jurisprudence Examination covering state-specific practice law. Graduates completing internships or residencies at New Hampshire practices may apply for a temporary license while completing their training.
How much do veterinarians make in New Hampshire?
Veterinarians in New Hampshire earn a median of about $128,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,780 for the lowest 10% to over $283,460 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire veterinarians in New Hampshire?
Employers hiring veterinarians in New Hampshire right now include DESORT STAFFING, Vetco, and Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Corporate practice groups and independent specialty hospitals in the Manchester and Seacoast areas tend to post the most consistently throughout the year.
Which New Hampshire cities have the most veterinarian jobs?
Nashua, Merrimack, and Peterborough have the most veterinarian openings in New Hampshire. Manchester anchors hiring as the state's largest city and home to several multi-doctor practices and emergency referral hospitals, while the Seacoast corridor around Portsmouth and Dover supports strong demand driven by a dense suburban population and proximity to the University of New Hampshire's agricultural programs.
Are there remote veterinarian jobs in New Hampshire?
Yes, but they're rare. Veterinary work is inherently hands-on, so most positions require in-clinic presence. About 57% of veterinarian openings tied to New Hampshire are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are almost exclusively in veterinary telehealth consultation, medical writing, or regulatory affairs rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a veterinarian in New Hampshire with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a rotating small-animal internship at a New Hampshire specialty or emergency hospital, several of which accept new graduates annually. Corporate practices like Banfield and VCA run structured new-graduate mentorship programs at their New Hampshire locations. Candidates who hold an active New Hampshire veterinary license before applying and who have completed externships at rural or mixed-practice facilities in New England gain a clear edge with independent practices.
Where can I find and apply to veterinarian jobs in New Hampshire?
You can find and apply to veterinarian jobs in New Hampshire on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, identify the ones that fit your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to each position through the listing.
