She worked with them until she moved to Friendswood in 2007. She worked and lived in Friendswood for three years, until she moved back home and was fortunate enough to get her old job back at VCA Mainland.

    Monique Gregory
    School: Animal Behavior College, Certified Dog Trainer

    My name is Monique and SURPRISE, I love animals! I was born and raised in Southern California where I began my career as a veterinary technician in a VCA specialty hosptial.  There I learned many things, such as, critical care and intensive care, emergency medicine, and physical rehabilitation in dogs.  I transferred to VCA Mainland Animal Hospital in September of 2012.  I currently have 1 dog, a Australian Shepherd, named Ozzy and a little one-eyed cat named Captain Jack (or C.J. as I call him) though I find myself with various other pets from time to time as I am a big supporter of the rescue world.  I am currently in college working on my AA in Communications to be followed by my BA in Psychology.  After that, it's off to Veterinary school with me! I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College through which I have been certified as a dog trainer and I plan on specializing in behavior modification as a veterinarian.  Aside from my love of animals, I love ballroom dancing! I taught for 4 years with Arthur Murray Dance studios and have found my favorite dances to be Argentine Tango, Salsa, and Cha Cha.  I am also a huge World of Warcraft nut!  If I am not working or dancing you can find me running around the world of Azeroth (and now Panderia) where my role there is...a healer!
