Canadian Animal Health Institute, CAN

At CAHI, work is more than a job – it’s a commitment to and passion for improving animal health and welfare in Canada.  Ensuring we have healthier animals for a healthier Canada by improving access to safe, effective and innovating animal health products for Canadian veterinarians is at the heart of what we do.  Are you ready to join a dynamic team leading Canada’s animal health industry into the future? If so, let’s talk.

The Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI) is the trade association representing the developers, manufacturers and distributors of animal pharmaceuticals, biologics, feed additives, veterinary health products and animal pesticides. CAHI is a national association, whose members are responsible for sales of approximately 95% of the animal health product market in Canada.

We are a registered, non-profit organization, solely funded by annual membership fees. There are over 60 members in the CAHI falling into two categories, Full Members and Associate Members. Stakeholder relations, issues monitoring, collaborative projects are among the benefits of CAHI membership.

Our Mission: To promote the timely availability of safe and efficacious animal health products that contribute to the health and welfare of animals, and a safe and productive food supply, both of which contribute to overall human health and well-being.

CAHI works with governments, veterinarians, farmers, pet owners and the general public. We actively participate on international, national and provincial working groups, coalitions and committees with the goal of improving animal health and animal welfare through access to veterinary medicines.

We advocate for a predictable, science and risk-based regulatory approach for animal health products in the Canadian marketplace for the benefit of all Canadians. This in turn supports international regulatory harmonization, trade and innovation.
