Led by Dr. Scott Teague, we bring big-hospital expertise to a cozy, coastal town

For over 30 years, Dr. Larry Lamb served the Manchester community with integrity, heart, and a genuine passion for animals. His deep roots and loyal client relationships made Manchester Animal Hospital a beloved local institution. Today, Dr. Teague is proud to carry that legacy forward. Dr. Lamb's story: A graduate of Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine at just 23 years old, Dr. Lamb began his journey with a commission in the United States Air Force, where he designed and ran the veterinary clinic at the Security Base in San Vito de Normanni, Italy. After his time abroad, Dr. Lamb held leadership roles in New York City veterinary hospitals and pursued post-graduate study at the renowned Animal Medical Center. Eventually, Dr. Lamb and his wife and professional partner, Jacqueline, returned to the U.S. to build and lead several veterinary hospitals throughout Vermont before finally planting roots here on the coast of Massachusetts. Manchester-by-the-Sea held special meaning for them—it was Jacqueline's childhood home, and the perfect place to realize their dream of practicing thoughtful, ethical, and community-focused veterinary medicine
