At Ceva, we believe in preserving the vital bond between humans and animals. We strive to find innovative solutions that improve animal health and productivity while respecting animal welfare and supporting biodiversity. Together, we are building a new reference to create value beyond animal health.

Ceva Animal Health has been the fastest growing global animal healthcare company since our creation in 1999. Our expertise are focused on the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceutical products and vaccines for the companion animal, poultry, ruminants and swine sectors. Although we have grown to become a global company, we’ve managed to retain the entrepreneurial spirit and dynamism of a small to medium-sized enterprise. From our unique ownership structure to the way our people provide service to customers, we are together, beyond animal health.

Here in Canada, we are growing and looking to add team members that embody our corporate values and objectives. When you work here, you’ll have the opportunity to create something new and work with a passionate team that is focused on providing innovative solutions for our customers.
