For more than 25 years, Heartland Animal Hospital has been providing quality veterinary care in Owatonna and surrounding communities. Heartland provides comprehensive preventative, medical, and surgical services for dogs, cats, and horses.

Our team is growing! We are very excited to add another veterinarian to our team in response to our practice's years of client growth.

Our team currently consists of three full-time doctors who have interests in small animal wellness and emergency care, equine medicine, diagnostic medicine and ultrasound, and and more. Together they have multiple decades of experience. Not to mention they are supported by seven, equally experienced CVTs!

We welcome DVMs of all experience levels - we think doctors of all background would truly flourish at our well established practice. We see a vast caseload of both small, large, and equine species and have a compassionate and dedicated staff that will provide you endless support.

We look forward to meeting you!
