Veterinarian
Dr. Young grew up on a farm near Iowa City, Iowa where she developed an early love for all animals. During her childhood, she was very active in 4-H, raising and showing cattle and pigs. Shadowing her local veterinarian while growing up fueled her dream to become a veterinarian at a young age. She completed both her bachelor’s degree (2006) and Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (2010) at Iowa State University. After graduation, she and her husband (an equine veterinarian) moved to Weatherford for his internship. Dr. Young worked in Fort Worth for the year of her husband’s internship, and then after a short time in Lexington, Kentucky she returned to Weatherford and joined the Holland Lake Animal Hospital team in the fall of 2018.
Dr. Young and her husband Gabe, met at Iowa State University and got married prior to attending veterinary school together. They have four children, Levi, Luke, Lila, and Liam. Their animal family consists of two dogs, six cats, one bearded dragon, two horses, and too many chickens to count!! In her free time, Dr. Young enjoys running her own custom tumbler business, and the wonderful chaos of attending all of her kids' different sporting events.
