Across Canada, VetStrategy is a network of veterinary practices united by a shared purpose: healthy animals, happy owners.
We bring this to life through three promises:
Guided by our values—We Care, We Dare, We Share—we prioritize well-being, embrace challenges, and foster collaboration. Rooted in passion and compassion, we support our people, patients, their families, and our communities. Humble and approachable, we achieve more together.
Our commitment to you:
Are you looking for a practice where you'll be supported by an experienced team, challenged by interesting medical and surgical cases, and welcomed into a clinic that genuinely enjoys working together?
At Baxter Animal Hospital, we're more than colleagues. We're a close-knit team that believes great medicine happens when people support one another both professionally and personally. With decades of combined experience, a collaborative culture, and access to diverse and rewarding cases, you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills while making a meaningful impact on pets and their families throughout Northern Ontario.
Whether you're an experienced veterinarian seeking greater case variety or a newer DVM looking for strong mentorship, you'll find the support, guidance, and camaraderie you need to thrive.
What's in it for You?
As part of our network, you will receive competitive compensation, bonus potential, generous CE allowance, VIN membership, licensing dues paid, paid vacation, generous personal pet policy, great health benefits and access to our extensive network of veterinary professionals!
We Are Unique:
Baxter Animal Hospital has proudly served the Sudbury community for decades and has built a reputation for combining high-quality medicine with genuine compassion.
Our experienced support team includes long-tenured professionals who have spent decades with the practice, working alongside newer team members who bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm. The result is a welcoming environment where everyone is eager to help one another succeed.
Our hospital is equipped with:
As one of the largest centres in Northern Ontario, Sudbury offers the perfect balance of urban amenities and outdoor adventure. From beautiful lakes and hiking trails to excellent restaurants, festivals, arts, and culture, you'll enjoy an outstanding lifestyle with a significantly lower cost of living and shorter commute times than many major Canadian cities.
Medicine That Makes a Difference
One aspect that makes practicing at Baxter truly unique is the opportunity to participate in a shared local on-call rotation. With the nearest referral centre approximately five hours away, veterinarians in the region have the chance to practice a broader scope of medicine and surgery than many urban general practices.
Supported by experienced colleagues and a collaborative network of area clinics, you'll develop valuable skills managing urgent and emergency cases while making a real difference for pets and families who rely on local veterinary care.

Being part of VetStrategy is about being part of something bigger – an ever-growing community, where we connect person-to-person and skill-to-need, united by a common purpose of healthy animals, happy owners. From our humble beginning in 2006 to the present day, we continue to make a difference in the lives of people who have dedicated themselves to this industry.
When VetStrategy co-founders Orin Litman and his wife, Dr. Michelle Cutler, decided to acquire McLean Animal Hospital in 2006, they focused on three promises – our Customer Promise of world-class veterinary care, delivered locally; our People Promise, to be a great place to work; and our Sustainability Promise to be a force for good for patients, people and our plant.
Keeping our three promises led VetStrategy to become the leading veterinary network in Canada, with veterinary practices, 24-hour emergency care, and specialty hospitals coast-to-coast. We have developed and refined a model for supporting our practices across the country.
What we do:
We care for those dedicated to caring for animals by creating a workplace where we focus on innovation, engagement, and teamwork.
We know the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into building each practice, and we don’t want to touch that – we truly embrace the uniqueness of each clinic. Our heritage first approach means we won’t change a clinic’s name, culture or heritage.
We understand the challenges our veterinary teams face and are committed to doing what’s right – for them, their clients, and their patients.
We care about the future of veterinary medicine. Everything we do comes back to ensuring that veterinarians have the time, support, and infrastructure to focus on responsible medicine and quality care.
We believe in empowering our support office and clinic staff and providing them opportunities to develop their skills and grow in their careers.
