Taylor
Taylor shippee is one of our very talented veterinary technicians. She has a sweet Pitbull named holly. Taylor was sparked to become part of the Mulberry Grove team after she brought Holly to see one of our veterinarians. Holly suffered from veterinary-related anxiety, and our team was able to incorporate fear-free tactics to ensure Holly had a safe, and successful veterinary visit. Her professional interest is making a difference in fearful pets’ life, as well as their owners. She went on to become certified in fear-free tactics. She enjoys riding horses and doing dressage in her free time.
