Every animal deserves world-class care — and with your help, more will receive it.
At the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, service is more than what we do — it’s who we are. From the smallest songbird to the largest dairy herd, our faculty, students, and clinicians dedicate their expertise and compassion to improving lives every single day. Your support ensures we can extend this service to more animals, families, and communities than ever before.
“Our Aggie veterinarians put their heart and soul into their work, and what they do is recognized year after year as the best in the nation. Being the best means more patients want to come to UC Davis. But new facilities are necessary so that we can care for more animals. A gift to the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine is an investment in vital, lifesaving care and exceptional medical training for tomorrow’s veterinarians.”
Provost Mary Croughan
Healing Animals, Supporting Families
When a beloved pet, farm animal, or wildlife species is in need, our Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital is here. Each year, we provide care for more than 50,000 patients, making us one of the busiest and most advanced veterinary centers in the world.
A Commitment That Reaches Beyond Campus
Our service extends far beyond Davis. Through partnerships with shelters, farms, conservation organizations, and disaster response agencies, we bring world-class veterinary expertise directly into the community. Whether it’s deploying to wildfires, advising on herd health, or offering care for shelter pets, our faculty and students are committed to serving those who need us most.
Training Tomorrow’s Veterinarians in Service
Service is at the core of veterinary education at UC Davis. Our students learn not only advanced medical techniques but also the responsibility to give back. By working side by side with faculty in clinics, shelters, and field programs, they develop the skills and compassion that will guide them throughout their careers.
Expanding Access to Care
We believe that every family should have access to quality veterinary care, regardless of circumstance. Through low-cost clinics, telemedicine, and community outreach programs, we are breaking down barriers that prevent people from getting the help their animals need. With your partnership, we can expand these programs and create a healthier future for animals and the people who love them.
Service That Shapes the Future
From pioneering treatments that set global standards to responding in times of crisis, the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine defines what service means in veterinary medicine. Together with our supporters, we will continue to meet the evolving needs of animals and communities — locally, nationally, and globally.
