Canine Club
The Canine Club was formed to promote an interest and knowledge of dogs through
education, community involvement, and development of personal interests. Active
club members are comprised of Washington State University veterinary students.

Every year the WSU Canine Club hosts an annual Canine Canter. The
event is held Saturday of WSU’s Mom’s Weekend in April and is open
to the public. It is a 5k run/walk that students, staff, faculty and
the general public can enter with their canine companions. Early
registrants receive a t-shirt on race day featuring a
student-designed logo on the front. The race route is on campus
which makes participants visible to the high influx of people on
campus that weekend. This event is our club’s biggest fundraiser
for the year. The club uses the funds raised from this event and
others to bring in lecturers from across the country to WSU to
provide members with a broad education that supplements our core
curriculum. Lectures are focused on topics specific to the interests
of our members. Such topics include canine health, nutrition,
behavior and training.
The Canine Club also uses its funds to host "wet labs" for current veterinary
students, which provide an extra opportunity to get hands-on training for skills
such as performing physical examinations and blood typing patients. In the past,
if the funds raised by the Canine Club have been more than what is needed to
provide such service to our members, the Canine Club has made donations to the
local humane society.
