Heritage Pet Hospital
Rochester, Minnesota
General Info
Heritage Pet Hospital in Rochester treats every appointment as a choreographed performance where touch, observation, and sound elements are introduced only upon receiving the pet's signal while serving families throughout Minnesota. Upon arrival pets have the opportunity to investigate their environment. Scent-mapping, slow movements, and selective engagement are all welcomed as part of the process. The clinical team observes the animal's responses to floor texture variations, ceiling acoustic properties, and vertical presence elements. Each visit emerges uniquely as some start through gentle palpation while others commence with visual exams or social acclimation steps. Pet owners receive invitations to disclose information such as their pet's preferred resting spots at home and the noises their pets avoid along with any changes in mealtime rhythms. Heritage Pet Hospital supports services including injury evaluation immune system diagnostics muscle elasticity checks sensory aversion handling and chronic illness co-management. Exam structure adjustments occur when breath cycles, freeze signals, gaze breaks or limb withdrawal are detected. The exam rooms feature real-time modification tools including portable stools, adjustable lighting, and optional barriers to minimize visual overload. The care process reaches its conclusion not with the procedure but through decompression. Before departure, pets receive a period to adjust their bearings. Behavioral pacing guides instruct owners on waiting periods before stimulus reintroduction while detailing when to provide food or touch and identifying signs of emotional delay or physical discomfort. Heritage Pet Hospital collaborates with pets from Rochester and nearby Minnesota regions to guarantee that each visit stage—entry treatment recovery—aligns with animal movement space and sequence perception.

Heritage Hospital offers amazing care and services to my animals and me! Staff members are kind and caring and clearly love what they do. Everyone explains procedures and care plans and, most importantly, they all fawn over the animals I bring--and I've brought 3 dogs and 4 cats over the years! Professional, thorough, and caring. Great place! I've recommended this pet hospital before and I"ll do it again!

It's hard to find words to describe what makes Heritage so special. The kindness of the staff, the knowledge, the competency, the trust and sincere care would be places to start. But in all honesty, I love this clinic because they genuinely love my German Shepherd. The amount of time and gentle assessment they give, their attentiveness to not stressing animals, and their authentic friendship makes this clinic both unique and also very special. I have full confidence they put the needs of animals above all else. After moving further away, we continue to have our animals cared for by Heritage despite other clinics being closer and it is well worth the drive.

So my cat is the first animal I have ever owned by myself. I got her from a shelter when she was a kitten and we went to Heritage and our doctor was Dr. Watson. She did great with Shae (she was about 5 months at the time). Go forward a year and Shae is terrified of everything about the vet but Dr. Watson did absolutely fantastic with her and we made a game plan for our next visit. We went today and I’m so proud of Shae. Dr. Watson gave me tips to calm her before the vet and what not. So we drive to the vet Shae meow yelling at me the whole time and then we get into the office and get in right away and I brought her favorite food and Shae did wonderful. Dr. Watson is always calm and is a phenomenal doctor. I highly recommend her and heritage!!

Until then, all aspects of possible diagnoses and reasonable care, including palliative were addressed. The dr's were kind , gentle in examinations and explanations.

We are visiting from the east coast. Our 15yo toy poodle began experiencing difficulties(diarrhea x 3 days with excoriated skin with some blood) so I consulted “doctor google” for some recs on local vets. The reviews for this practice were quite good so I gave them a call. They were unable to see us(too busy) and we were looking at a 20 hr drive back the next day(they recommended other groups.) As a physician myself I can tell you it doesn’t matter how good you are if you don’t see the patient.

I was a first time pet owner and I had no idea about the shots and vaccines required for my 2 month old puppy. I saw amazing reviews on google and called them. They helped in working out convenient timings for appointment according to my work hours. They are also excellent about reminders for the monthly puppy vaccines. The first time we visited them they gave a complementary nail trimming, water bottle and candy bag as a welcome gesture. Also, they sent a nice little card home with his picture to welcome him. They also extend a friendly environment in the clinic. I would definitely recommend them as they make things seem so easy :)

This was our first visit to the Heritage Pet Hospital and the team that served my two dogs and I was outstanding. The front desk staff comfortably placed us in a room and Cheryl, the technician was in right away to start checking out our two labs. Minutes later Dr. Watson was in and took her time with us was very thorough and clearly explained any of the recommendations and treatment plans. She is was excellent with both dogs, Bergen and Wilson warmed up to her fast and a great communicator to me as a client, we sooooo enjoyed her! The staff came in and took my payment right in the room and helped me to the car with one of the dogs, which was so nice when you are over 8 months pregnant! Lastly, you will never miss an appointment... you will receive and email, phone call reminder and text if you wish! We will be back and feel thankful we have found a great vet.

Our first visit was excellent! Their staff is friendly and obviously experienced with making pets and owners feel as comfortable as possible. Our rescue pup is very anxious at vet visits, and they took the time and had the patience to help her feel settled and more relaxed. I also appreciate that they have a new client form to complete prior to the first visit. I was able to inform them of our dog's specific concerns and it was clear that they read it before we arrived.

I was visiting from out of state when my little dog had eaten a grape and the animal poison center told me to have him be seen by a vet immediately. I called two other animal hospitals in the area but neither would see me because they were too busy. I called Heritage and they were also very busy but kind enough to see my dog emergently and gave him the treatment he needed. I'm very thankful to Dr. Einertson and his assistant Kathy for their compassion and caring nature. I was very distressed not knowing the area and trying to find an animal hospital to see my little dog quickly. Now my dog is happy and healthy again. If I lived in Rochester I would make them my permanent animal hospital of choice. Thanks so much.

This is a spectacular vet!!! They care about your pet in the same way you care about your pet. I have taken my dog here since I moved to the area when he was 6 months old and they have been wonderful!! They are always happy to answer questions over the phone and even stay late in the event of an emergency. On one occasion a friend needed to get her dog there after he fell off of her deck. The doctors at Heritage were willing to stay late to see him immediately when we called. When we arrived they were prepared and so empathetic. When it was clear that the best thing was to put him to sleep the vet techs and the vet cried with my friend and I. A few weeks later my friend received in the mail a copy of her dogs foot prints pressed into clay and a card noting a donation made to an animal association in her dog's name. I will be moving out of the area soon and hope I can find another office as wonderful!!

I've been bringing Oscar and Felix here for 6 years, and I just love how personal and down-to-earth Dr. Einertson and Dr. Toddie have been whenever I brought them in for their annual checks. It isn't a hurried, business get-them-in-and-out attitude which is super refreshing in times of less talk and more throughput. They also take the time to teach the latest research and findings. Bottom-line? This is a local vet hospital with personable staff. You will not find big business mentality here. And when Oscar was having such a hard time with his urine crystals several years ago, I was such a blubbering mess and could barely speak over the telephone. They let me bring him right away and treated him like their own for a week of me bringing him back and forth until we could manage him ourselves at home (the kitchen was set up like a convalescent home with thick plastic coverings everywhere for his urinary struggles and desire for different litter boxes because of the pain) and I'll never forget how they took my phone calls, my questions and concerns quickly and with such kindness. In all these years, they continue to do such great follow-up on him. He never falls through the cracks.They also give back to the community by neutering and spading stray cats (not advertised) which I think speaks volumes to their concern for animals and over-population of strays and the moral responsibility they have as a vet hospital. Kudos to them! I love my pet doctors!

It's hard to find words to describe what makes Heritage so special. The kindness of the staff, the knowledge, the competency, the trust and sincere care would be places to start. But in all honesty, I love this clinic because they genuinely love my German Shepherd. The amount of time and gentle assessment they give, their attentiveness to not stressing animals, and their authentic friendship makes this clinic both unique and also very special. I have full confidence they put the needs of animals above all else. After moving further away, we continue to have our animals cared for by Heritage despite other clinics being closer and it is well worth the drive.

Go forward a year and Shae is terrified of everything about the vet but Dr. Watson did absolutely fantastic with her and we made a game plan for our next visit. We went today and I’m so proud of Shae. Dr. Watson gave me tips to calm her before the vet and what not. So we drive to the vet Shae meow yelling at me the whole time and then we get into the office and get in right away and I brought her favorite food and Shae did wonderful. Dr. Watson is always calm and is a phenomenal doctor. I highly recommend her and heritage!!

Care was compassionate and complete, with consideration of the comfort of our pet and us at the end of his life. Until then, all aspects of possible diagnoses and reasonable care, including palliative were addressed. The dr's were kind , gentle in examinations and explanations. Couldn't have asked for better care.

We have 3 dogs, one of which has cancer. We go to Heritage- for the little stuff, and the big stuff. We feel so blessed to have discovered Heritage Pet Hospital! Everyone is so caring and personable. We see Dr. Watson and she always explains everything very thoroughly, and makes sure we are making decisions we are all comfortable with. Also a very affordable clinic that will accept payment plans for larger surgeries.

We are visiting from the east coast. Our 15yo toy poodle began experiencing difficulties(diarrhea x 3 days with excoriated skin with some blood) so I consulted “doctor google” for some recs on local vets. The reviews for this practice were quite good so I gave them a call. They were unable to see us(too busy) and we were looking at a 20 hr drive back the next day(they recommended other groups.) As a physician myself I can tell you it doesn’t matter how good you are if you don’t see the patient.

The staff from the receptionist to the vet techs to the vets all treat you and your pet with care and respect. We've been a customer for ten years and they have gone above and beyond when our pet has had issues with her health. I always have the piece of mind that my pets are given the star treatment when they go to Heritage.

Read all the great reviews online and decided to take our cat Baby to Heritage. Very happy with our Vet Dr. Jennifer Watson. Every one was very kind to our Baby cat and will continue to take her there. We highly recommend them. Only downside is they do not have a payment plan and require payment on day off but besides that the facility was very clean and welcoming !!

I was a first time pet owner and I had no idea about the shots and vaccines required for my 2 month old puppy. I saw amazing reviews on google and called them. They helped in working out convenient timings for appointment according to my work hours. They are also excellent about reminders for the monthly puppy vaccines. The first time we visited them they gave a complementary nail trimming, water bottle and candy bag as a welcome gesture. Also, they sent a nice little card home with his picture to welcome him. They also extend a friendly environment in the clinic. I would definitely recommend them as they make things seem so easy :)

We had a black lab that was 13 years old and she was our first lab. Due to old age and her quality of life our family decided to put her to rest. Dr. Toddie and Amy (veterinary technician) came out to our house and were absolutely wonderful, patient, and comforting for all of us including our black lab. Dr. Toddie and Amy not only made it comfortable for our black lab but for me as well. Thank you so much and I also appreciated the sympathy card that I got from the entire staff along with the paw print from our black lab. KUDOS to Dr. Toddie and Amy!

This was our first visit to the Heritage Pet Hospital and the team that served my two dogs and I was outstanding. The front desk staff comfortably placed us in a room and Cheryl, the technician was in right away to start checking out our two labs. Minutes later Dr. Watson was in and took her time with us was very thorough and clearly explained any of the recommendations and treatment plans. She is was excellent with both dogs, Bergen and Wilson warmed up to her fast and a great communicator to me as a client, we sooooo enjoyed her! The staff came in and took my payment right in the room and helped me to the car with one of the dogs, which was so nice when you are over 8 months pregnant! Lastly, you will never miss an appointment... you will receive and email, phone call reminder and text if you wish! We will be back and feel thankful we have found a great vet.

Heritage did an amazing job when I brought my cat in. I'm a first time cat owner as well and they gave me some free valuable advice. You could definitely tell they care about well being of the animals. I felt completely confident leaving my cat with them while they worked on her. I would totally bring my cat back here.

Our first visit was excellent! Their staff is friendly and obviously experienced with making pets and owners feel as comfortable as possible. Our rescue pup is very anxious at vet visits, and they took the time and had the patience to help her feel settled and more relaxed. I also appreciate that they have a new client form to complete prior to the first visit. I was able to inform them of our dog's specific concerns and it was clear that they read it before we arrived. We finally found the vet's office we've been looking for!

We have 3 dogs and have been going to Dr. Watson for a few years now. We are all treated well and I trust them with our dogs. One of our dogs has a few issues and she really works with us on a plan that we are all comfortable with. They are also very good about helping with questions over the phone and telling us if an appointment is necessary or not.

Dr. Watson and the staff at Heritage are hands down the best team I have ever seen at a vet clinic. Dr.Watson fought side by side with me to help my fur baby get better and when we realized he wouldn't, she and her team showed me so much compassion and understanding that it literally makes me cry! All my animals will now go to Heritage Pet Hospital!

I was visiting from out of state when my little dog had eaten a grape and the animal poison center told me to have him be seen by a vet immediately. I called two other animal hospitals in the area but neither would see me because they were too busy. I called Heritage and they were also very busy but kind enough to see my dog emergently and gave him the treatment he needed. I'm very thankful to Dr. Einertson and his assistant Kathy for their compassion and caring nature. I was very distressed not knowing the area and trying to find an animal hospital to see my little dog quickly. Now my dog is happy and healthy again. If I lived in Rochester I would make them my permanent animal hospital of choice. Thanks so much.

Been going here for 16 years to see Dr.Einertson. They are always kind and compassionate. They know how to handle a scared dog and take care of one at its life end with comfort and dignity. We are on our third dog with them and recommend them to all of our friends and colleagues. The pet hospital supports are rescue efforts, too. Fantastic clinic!

This is a spectacular vet!!! They care about your pet in the same way you care about your pet. I have taken my dog here since I moved to the area when he was 6 months old and they have been wonderful!! They are always happy to answer questions over the phone and even stay late in the event of an emergency. On one occasion a friend needed to get her dog there after he fell off of her deck. The doctors at Heritage were willing to stay late to see him immediately when we called. When we arrived they were prepared and so empathetic. When it was clear that the best thing was to put him to sleep the vet techs and the vet cried with my friend and I. A few weeks later my friend received in the mail a copy of her dogs foot prints pressed into clay and a card noting a donation made to an animal association in her dog's name. I will be moving out of the area soon and hope I can find another office as wonderful!!

Dr. Watson is SO wonderful. Our dog has been getting into all sorts of trouble with her "food choices" lately and Dr. Watson has been reassuring, understanding and a calming influence (on me, while our lab is still a complete food bandit). I would recommend her wholeheartedly for anyone needing a vet. And the entire staff is awesome.

Heritage Pet Hospital is amazing. We have been taking my pets there since the 70's with Dr Waterman. Dr Travis and Laura are the best, along with their amazing staff, Kathy, Cheryl, Jeanne, Molly etc. Right now My dog is going through a difficult time and the care and wealth of information we have been given to help understand his condition and treatment is outstanding. Their love for animals is truly genuine. Words do not do justice for the gratitude we feel. Thank you thank you!!! Brian @ Becky Lohrbach.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Einertson. He has been through thick and thin with my furbabies and me. We have navigated some complicated illnesses with his guidance. And in the end when there is nothing more that can be done he has compassionately helped my pets to The Rainbow Bridge and shed some tears right along with me. I feel he truly cares about my pets and there is no-one that I trust more with their care. I highly recommend him to everyone!!!

I took my turtle to be seen by Dr. Tottie because she had swollen eyes and wasn't eating. She did a good job with my turtle and told me if she wasn't better in a week to bring her back AT NO CHARGE! Well I waited a week and she wasn't better so I called the clinic so I could take her back to get re-checked and I was informed by the receptionist that the Dr. was on vacation, there wasn't anyone else there that would be able to treat my turtle and SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL ME! So now I am stuck paying a second vet bill because of neglegence on their part!!! I wouldn't advise anyone to take their turtle here unless you feel like paying two vet bills!!!

I've been bringing Oscar and Felix here for 6 years, and I just love how personal and down-to-earth Dr. Einertson and Dr. Toddie have been whenever I brought them in for their annual checks. It isn't a hurried, business get-them-in-and-out attitude which is super refreshing in times of less talk and more throughput. They also take the time to teach the latest research and findings. Bottom-line? This is a local vet hospital with personable staff. You will not find big business mentality here. And when Oscar was having such a hard time with his urine crystals several years ago, I was such a blubbering mess and could barely speak over the telephone. They let me bring him right away and treated him like their own for a week of me bringing him back and forth until we could manage him ourselves at home (the kitchen was set up like a convalescent home with thick plastic coverings everywhere for his urinary struggles and desire for different litter boxes because of the pain) and I'll never forget how they took my phone calls, my questions and concerns quickly and with such kindness. In all these years, they continue to do such great follow-up on him. He never falls through the cracks.They also give back to the community by neutering and spading stray cats (not advertised) which I think speaks volumes to their concern for animals and over-population of strays and the moral responsibility they have as a vet hospital. Kudos to them! I love my pet doctors!
