About us
More Than a Job: Why Canyon Pet Hospital Feels Like Home
You know that feeling when a job is just… easy? Not easy because the work is simple (because let’s be real, vet medicine is tough!), but easy because you’re completely surrounded by people who have your back. That’s the core of The Canyon Vibe in Flagstaff.
A Culture That Lifts You Up
Speaking as the owner of Canyon Pet Hospital, the best part of Canyon is the teamwork and dedication that our entire staff puts towards making this the best veterinary practice to work in Northern Arizona. As an independently owned practice, we value each employee as an individual and cater to their unique needs. When you join us, you’re not just an employee; you’re a vital part of the medical team from day one. If a new colleague is struggling managing a case or an anxious pet, that immediate, hands-on mentorship is standard practice. We don’t stand back and judge; we step in, share the trick, and celebrate the win together.
Where Your Career Really Takes Off
If you’re looking to challenge yourself medically, this is the place to be. You’ll get incredible exposure to a diverse caseload, ranging from routine care to specialized surgeries and advanced internal medicine.
We believe in continuous growth, so we’re serious about Continuing Education (CE). The hospital provides generous funding and paid time off for conferences, workshops, and getting those specialized certifications. Our senior staff are always running in-house training sessions and case rounds, so the learning never stops. Whether you want to master dental procedures or move into a leadership role, we provide a clear career ladder to help you get there.
The Flagstaff Life: Your Best Benefit
Let’s face it: location matters. Working at Canyon Pet Hospital means you don’t just get competitive pay and great benefits (hello, 401k match!); you get a lifestyle upgrade.
We pride ourselves on offering predictable scheduling that respects your personal time. Why? Because you live in Flagstaff! You need time to get out and enjoy the Coconino National Forest right in your backyard. We have a true four-season climate—yes, that means real snow in the winter!—with endless opportunities for hiking, biking, trail running, and rock climbing around the majestic San Francisco Peaks. It’s a vibrant mountain town atmosphere that truly enhances your quality of life, making the work you do even more rewarding.
I want to to sincerely thank the staff at Canyon Pet Hospital for the kindness and effort they showed during a very difficult time. My bunny, Milo, had sadly passed about 10 minutes before we arrived, but even with the little time they had, the staff still tried their very best to help him. They were compassionate, caring, and incredibly supportive to me throughout the process. Although the outcome was heartbreaking, I am deeply grateful for the way they treated both Milo and me. Their professionalism and empathy truly stood out. I will 100% recommend this vet to anyone looking for a team that genuinely cares for your pets. I will also be bringing my future pets here without hesitation – Adrian Barona – Google Review
