River Ridge Animal Hospital has been serving the Sauk Valley area for over 75 years.
In our 17,000 square foot veterinary medical center, we offer general veterinary medicine and wellness care, therapeutic and surgical laser, digital radiology and ultrasound diagnostics, rhinoscopy, dental care, internal medicine, pet grooming, doggie daycare, and state of the art boarding. It is home to 6 full-time DVMs, 2 part-time DVMs, 7 CVTs, and 40+ team members in total.
River Ridge Animal Hospital is so excited to add another veterinarian to our amazing team!
We are fortunate to have excellent and tremendously supportive clientele. They come from all over the beautiful Sauk Valley River region, whose local population is about 50k. They are caring, compassionate owners who tend to opt for medium/higher level care for the pets. Our new DVM would have no issue quickly establishing their own clientele base with both existing and new patients.
At our practice, we stress work-life balance. Most doctors average a 3.75-day work week and have a 3-day weekend every other weekend! We encourage DVMs of all experience levels to apply, as our practice would serve as an excellent opportunity for any new graduate to gain valuable experience in multiple aspects of veterinary medicine as well as for an experienced DVM to practice their already developed skillsets.
Full and part-time positions are available!

Heartland Veterinary Partners is a support organization that is committed to improving the lives of veterinarians. We purchase veterinary practices and provide operational support to relieve administrative burdens such as payroll, recruiting, HR, marketing and accounts payables. If needed, we invest to support growth. The practices maintain their unique branding, culture and clinical autonomy.
At Heartland, we believe that selling a veterinary practice shouldn’t mean losing what makes it remarkable. When we acquire a practice, the doctor comes first. We listen closely to their needs in order to create a one-of-a-kind solution to ease their administrative burdens—all without disrupting their day-to-day operations, the culture they’ve fostered, and the relationships they’ve built. In other words, the name over the door doesn’t go away. The headaches of running a business do.
Partnering veterinarians appreciate an improved work-life balance, less financial worry, and the confidence that their teams will be in good hands. Best of all, they get to focus on why they entered the business in the first place: to care for animals and to be present when their clients need them most. Practice team members enjoy the warm culture of their individual community practices combined with the support and resources that Heartland brings to the table.
Improving the lives of veterinarians means supporting them at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a veterinary student or a new graduate looking for hands-on learning to begin your career or an experienced veterinarian looking to tackle management and leadership opportunities, we keep your goals at the heart of everything we do.
The Heartland Support Center team is hardwired to serve. We follow the philosophy of servant leadership and put the needs of others first with a genuine desire to help. As a result, Heartland’s practices count on team members to be there for them with heart and solution, not a corporate agenda.
