Third season begins for Hartington-based TV show

HARTINGTON — A Hartington based nationally syndicated television show began its third season on the air last week.

Nat Geo Wild premiered season three of the “Heartland Docs, DVM” on Saturday. The show first launched in January 2020, but because of its popularity, Nat Geo Wild also ran the second season of the series last year.

The show features Hartington veterinarians Ben and Erin Schroeder as they go about their daily lives at the Cedar County Vet Clinic.

Several familiar sites around Cedar County are featured in the TV show, which follows Ben and Erin as they trot across the region making house calls on their farm customers.

Nat Geo Wild promotional material noted season three of Heartland Docs, DVM will feature an aggressive alpaca, award-winning heifers and even a 36-year-old parrot.

NatGeo Wild officials and the head of the production company which created the show were in Hartington in January 2020 for a preview of the show.

Nancy Glass is the CEO of Glass Entertainment, the production company that decided to build a reality TV series around the Schroeder’s veterinarian practice.

Glass, a former weekend anchor for “Inside Edition,” said she knew right away Ben and Erin Schroeder possessed something special. Something national TV audiences should enjoy.

“You can just see right away, they are honest, caring people — their integrity and compassion just show through,” she said.
