Dr. Eric Ruhland

Dr. Ruhland was raised on a small dairy farm in central Minnesota near Watkins where his curious mind for science and his love for animals was allowed to flourish. After high school, he attended North Dakota State University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in zoology and a minor in chemistry. Dr. Ruhland left the United States after college and worked in New Zealand before returning in the fall of 2004 to attend the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine. While in veterinary school, Dr. Ruhland’s studies emphasized small animal internal medicine and surgeries along with traditional veterinary disciplines. Outside of general veterinary practice, Dr. Ruhland has special interests in teeth cleaning, treating allergies, orthopedic disease, anesthesia, and senior patient care.
