When a cherished animal companion dies, the grieving process is genuine and possibly shared by the owner, veterinarian, family, and friends.

The Companion Animal Memorial Fund at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1984 to help veterinarians actively express compassion by memorializing clients’ companion animals. As animal owners became aware of this program, its use has spread beyond just participating veterinarians.

Becoming a partner of the Companion Animal Memorial Fund program shows your commitment to your clients and to advancing animal health. We look forward to your support.

Recognizing Client Grief & Supporting Veterinary Medicine

Your involvement in this program touches the hearts of families as well as supports the mission of the college. Making a memorial gift to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund in the name of a recently deceased companion animal can mean so much to a grieving owner. It is a fitting tribute that lets animal owners know that someone cares and understands their loss.

All gifts made to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund support the fund’s mission of spreading comfort and support to families that are navigating the grieving process. Additionally, donations support the students, doctors, professors, and others at the college who are providing optimal veterinary care to patients and advancing companion animal health.
