Nat Geo WILD has renewed its fan-favorite 'Heartlands Docs DMV' for a second season, just months after its first run. It's just what the doctors ordered. Dr Erin and Ben Shroeder, a husband-and-wife veterinarian duo, have been devoted to their jobs for the last 15 years. The new season chronicles their daily lives as animal doctors as they tend to their work with proficiency and care. It also focuses on their family dynamics and their lives beyond their work when they hang up their coats after playing Dr Dolittle (minus the talking animals) for the day.

Here is everything you need to know about the new installation.

The new eight-episode season of 'Heartland Docs DMV' is slated to premiere on May 30 on Nat Geo WILD.

Their teenage sons, Chase and Charlie, also assist their parents in their work.
