Nappanee Veterinary Hospital

Nappanee Veterinary Hospital is a veterinarian in Nappanee, Indiana, located at 151 W Lincoln St. The hospital provides wellness exams, dental care, nutrition counseling, end of life care, surgery, in-house laboratory work, and grooming, along with a pharmacy and boarding. Its team cares for pets from new puppies and kittens through their senior years.

The practice is owned by Dr. Brooks Cartwright and Rebecca Cartwright. Dr. Cartwright graduated from Purdue University with his DVM in 2002, began his career focused on large animals, particularly dairy cattle, and expanded into small animal care when he purchased the Bremen Animal Clinic and Nappanee Veterinary Hospital in 2017. Rebecca Cartwright earned a Masters in Flute Performance from Indiana University's Jacob's School of Music and performed in orchestras across Indiana before becoming Practice Manager. The couple also runs a family farm with 60 Katahdin sheep, two Maremma Italian Sheepdogs, and two barn cats, and they have two sons in college. Samantha, an RVT, joined the team in April 2022 as lead technician.

The hospital sits on West Lincoln Street, about a tenth of a mile from South Main Street, North Main Street, and the Nappanee Public Library, and roughly the same distance from the Nappanee Police Department. Jane's Memorial Garden is steps away, and the Rock Garden is about two-tenths of a mile from the clinic.

Nappanee Veterinary Hospital holds a 4.70 rating from the customers who have reviewed it. Clients describe staff who accommodated a service dog handler by seating them beside the exam room so they could hear everything and stepping out to discuss the appointment, and a team that welcomed dogs for wellness exams, grooming, and boarding and called to check on a four-week-old rescue kitten days after a visit.

For Nappanee pet owners, the hospital pairs a Purdue-trained veterinarian and a team that treats pets as family with a location just down the street from the public library and the police department.
