Moriah Neep

Moriah Neep

Moriah has always known that her future would involve working with animals, having grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. During her teenage years, she spent most of her time working at a horse ranch, where she helped train and show Arabian horses. Though her passion for horses was strong, she knew it wasn’t a career path she would follow. Thanks to her grandmother, who owned a dog grooming business, Moriah learned the art of grooming at a young age. After many years of grooming, she realized it wasn’t her lifelong calling. At 22, she pursued her dream of working in the veterinary field by applying for a job at a hospital, where she started as a kennel assistant and quickly began learning and advancing. Helping animals is her greatest passion, and she can’t imagine doing anything else.
