Building relationships with people and their pets as well as giving owners the information they need for their pet's care and well-being are important to her. Dr. Bruck has a special interest in treating dental disease to alleviate pain in both cats and dogs. 


Dr. Bruck's pets include Lucy the mixed breed herding dog; Layla, Mickey and Thomas the cats; Bella and Star the pygmy goats, horses Cinny and Dan; and a small special needs pony named Dancer. Dr. Bruck is an avid gardener and enjoys horseback riding.
