Model Taylor Hill‘s labradoodle Tate battling cancer before passing away last July. Tate was her first dog who she got at 18 years old, and the loss was devastating. In the year leading up to Tate’s passing, the pup and Taylor were working on a pet brand together named Tate & Taylor.
Already a jet-setting model as a teenager, Taylor found a cherished companion in Tate. The doodle kept her grounded during her rise to fame, which included becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Since she started working on her pet brand while Tate was still with her, fans are treated to content featuring the beloved pup.
Taylor decided to move forward with Tate & Taylor, along with adopting a black German Shepherd named Salem. And Salem is happy to share the spotlight (and treats) with his mom.
Tate & Taylor includes expectedly fashionable apparel and accessories for dogs, along with treats and grooming products.
In the video below, Taylor shares the story of why she decided to donate partial proceeds to Schwartzman Animal Medical Center’s, The Buddy Fund. (And note all her canine models for her F*ck Cancer collection are rescues!)
Taylor recently had a “Pawp-Up” event to launch Tate & Taylor.
her commitment to helping pups extends past her new brand, such as when Taylor and Salem hosted a Valentine’s Day dog adoption event.
