Choose Your Setting

We have practices in many states across the country with diverse settings and focuses, so our veterinarians can choose the environment that is best for them.

Work-Life Balance

We understand that our veterinarians have lives outside of the practice, and we are committed to helping them achieve balance.

Each practice is led locally, and we empower our teams to make all the clinical and inventory decisions to best meet the needs of the community they serve.

Support When it Matters Most

We support our veterinarians at every stage of their careers, from new graduates to experienced practitioners.

Career Path

New Graduate

Clinically Confident

You’ve been here a while and have your feet under you. You still have plenty of learning and growing to do, but you’re well on your way.

Learning to Lead

Thanks to your experience and dedication, you’ve earned the trust and respect of your community and established yourself as an example for other vets to follow.

“I love working at a Heartland-owned practice. They let us be ourselves with the support of a corporation. My relationship with our regional director is genuine and supportive. It’s obvious anytime company leadership addresses the practices that they genuinely care about our wellbeing and make decisions with our best interests in mind. We are extremely lucky to work for a company this down to earth.”
