Yin-Yang Veterinary Care

Yin-Yang Veterinary Care is a veterinarian in Biddeford, ME, operating as Yin-Yang Veterinary Care, PLLC. The practice provides veterinary care through in-home visits, serving pet owners across southern Maine from Kittery to Norway. Dr. Samantha Brueckner is the veterinarian behind the practice, and her patient list covers cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas, birds, skinks, bearded dragons, turtles, non-venomous snakes, geckos, other reptiles, and amphibians.

Dr. Brueckner grew up in northwest Arkansas and attended Kansas State University Veterinary School, where she built her skills working with a wide range of animals. Her professional background includes work in clinics, wildlife settings, and zoos. After relocating to Maine in 2023 with her husband, she founded the practice to bring veterinary care directly into patients' homes, reducing the stress that clinic visits can place on animals. The practice is named after Yin-Yang, her heart-dog of ten years, who accompanied her through veterinary school and whose final year was spent running on Maine beaches and playing in the snow after an amputation for osteosarcoma. The love she shared with him is the model for the care she provides to every patient.

The services offered during home visits include physical examinations, preventative care such as vaccinations, early detection blood work, and parasite prevention, as well as habitat and diet consultations aimed at giving owners the tools to maintain their pets' wellbeing. Appointments can be requested by phone at (207) 423-3503 or by email at [email protected]. In her time outside of practice, Dr. Brueckner enjoys exploring local beaches, playing board games with friends, and reading fiction and fantasy.
