Pet Memorial Program

Show you care with a meaningful way to remember a companion.

The Pet Memorial Program provides a way for friends and family to express sympathy and compassion for grieving pet owners. Contributors are pet owners, families, friends, or veterinarians who wish to make a gift in the name of a beloved pet.

After a donation is made, pet owners can submit a story, photo, or simply the pet’s name to memorialize their beloved pet. View memorials.

        
    

We were just stunned when we received that letter from WSU telling us about the clinic’s donation – it was so powerful. It just opened my eyes to how much veterinarians care about their clients and patients.

Give a memorial

Show you care with a meaningful way to remember a companion. The Pet Memorial Program also provides a way for friends and family to express sympathy and compassion for grieving pet owners. Your gift supports veterinary education and animal care at WSU.

 

 

Post a memorial

After a memorial has been given in your pet’s name, we invite you when you are ready to submit a story, photo, or simply the pet’s name to memorialize your beloved pet.  Please use the memorial code from the letter you received letting you know a memorial was given in your pet’s name.

Know someone whose pet has already been memorialized and want to give in their name?

        
    

At our clinic we love the WSU Pet Memorial Program. It is so much more meaningful to our clients who have lost a beloved pet than cards or flowers ever could be.
