Companion Animal Fund

Pet owners are special people. They understand the value of a pet--the joy, the protection, and the companionship a pet can offer. They also know the importance of quality medical attention for their pet, and the need for advancing knowledge in veterinary medicine.

The School of Veterinary Medicine recognizes what every good veterinarian has always known, people love their pets. The Companion Animal Fund provides support for health care studies dealing with the diseases and disorders that afflict animals, and provides support for other needs within the veterinary medical education program such as scholarships and special equipment.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine is an exceptional health care resource for animals. It brings knowledge and experience from many different disciplines and specialties to bear on the task of understanding and improving the health of your animal.

Private donations to the Companion Animal Fund help the School to achieve these goals. Donated funds will increase the resources available to the School of Veterinary Medicine in its search for solutions.

Your participation can make an important difference on whether or not these vital efforts succeed.

The Companion Animal Fund is an excellent and unique way to

• express sympathy over the loss of the companionship of a pet or dear friend
• express appreciation for the medical or surgical care your veterinarian provided
• give a gift of love to an owner who loves and values animals
• show appreciation for the love and comfort that animals provide us
• celebrate a animal's, owner's, or friend's birthday
