Advancing Animal Health and Welfare

The Caring for Pets Fund specifically benefits the health and welfare of companion animals.

The Caring for Pets Fund is one of the easiest ways that individual veterinarians can help the Trust. Many veterinarians have chosen to make a donation to the Caring for Pets Fund in the memory of patients that have died or been euthanased. Owners of much loved pets are usually comforted by the generosity of their vet, knowing that their pet is being remembered in a way which is of so much benefit to companion animals in the future.

When a donation is made by a veterinarian in the memory of a client’s pet, a letter is sent to the owner, acknowledging the Veterinarian involved. The client is offered the opportunity to recognize their pet on our 'In Memoriam' page (see below) and is sent a packet of seeds (kindly donated by Seed West in Wanneroo) to plant in memory of their loved pet. The scheme is a small but growing and important part of the Trust, and is a beautiful way for private practitioners to acknowledge the personal loss to their client, at the same time as helping pets of the future. Members of the public may also donate directly to the Caring For Pets Fund and enquiries can be directed to the Trust Office on (08) 9360 2731 or via email on vettrust@murdoch.edu.au
