Our comprehensive approach to pet health involves a team of talented and caring animal lovers devoted to your pet’s specific health needs.

Dr. Brooks Cartwright and Rebecca Cartwright
Owners
Dr. Cartwright graduated from Purdue University with his DVM in 2002. Beginning with a focus on large animal, specifically dairy cattle, Brooks decided to extend his veterinary services to small animal and purchased the Bremen Animal Clinic and Nappanee Veterinary Hospital in 2017. His wife, Rebecca, graduated from Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music with a Masters in Flute Performance. After several years of performing in orchestras throughout Indiana, she now enjoys working alongside her husband as the Practice Manager of Bremen Animal Clinic and Nappanee Veterinary Hospital.
Together, they enjoy serving the good people of their community and their delightful pets. Outside of clinic hours, they spend time at home on the family farm with their 60 Katahdin sheep, 2 Maremma Italian Sheepdogs and 2 barn cats, and enjoy traveling and spending time together with their two sons who are now in college.

Samantha, RVT
Samantha joined the team in April 2022 as our lead RVT. Since graduation from IBC in Ft. Wayne, she has gained 10 years of experience in the veterinary field. She married her high school sweetheart almost 20 years ago. Together they live with their adorable kittens, listening to anything but country music. They love competitive running, spending much of their down time training for marathons, duathlons, and triathlons (except Samantha-she doesn’t swim)

Alyssa, Veterinary Assistant
Alyssa came to us in December of 2021 with a background in bio/chem. She is currently going to school to become an RVT, and later, a DVM. When Alyssa isn’t working, she can be found working out, sipping Scooter’s coffee and spending time on the water (when its warm). She has a great sense of style, and even though she is colorblind, she always comes in to work matching!
