Rock Island Animal Hospital is an AAHA–Accredited practice and we go the extra mile to ensure our clients' pets experience a stress–free appointment and feel safe and comfortable while in our care.

We welcome walk-ins and emergency care visits and specialize in care for cats and dogs. We proudly serve the pets of Rock Island, IL, and the surrounding areas, including Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, East Moline, and Milan.

Rock Island Animal Hospital is eager to add another veterinarian to our wonderful team!

We are a well-established, AAHA accredited, small animal

practice that specializes in walk in appointments that regular GPs are not able to see. Though dogs and cats make up a vast majority of our caseload, we do see the occasional pocket pet as well. Our two full-time DVMs are skillful and experienced in emergencies, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and orthopedics. They are backed by an equally skilled and experienced support team of 6 CVTs and 6-8 assistants.

Our practice is equipped with all the tools any doctor needs to succeed. We welcome DVMs of all experience levels and would happily provide a new graduate any needed mentorship. Our hospital utilizes a unique and impactful mentorship program that has provided upward trends in confidence, satisfaction, and production for all that have participated. We want you to have the adequate work-life balance you need, and have no on-call or weekend responsibilities!
