The Western University of Health Sciences’ College of Veterinary Medicine’s Reverence for Life Commitment promises that animals will not be harmed in our teaching programs. We believe in the profound bond between humans and their beloved animal companions and understand that saying goodbye to a cherished pet is never easy, which is why we established the Willed deceased Animals for Veterinary Education (WAVE) program. This program offers pet owners a unique and meaningful opportunity to honor their departed furry friends by donating their bodies to veterinary education. These selfless donations become an invaluable resource for our students, providing essential hands-on learning experiences that shape the next generation of compassionate veterinarians. More than 500 deceased animals have been donated to the college in the last two years, proving to be an integral part in providing a greater quality of education to future generations of veterinarians.
All donations to WAVE must be deceased due to age, serious illness or injury. An animal that has no owner to approve the donation of its remains will not be accepted.
When the death of a beloved pet might be imminent, and you live within 40 miles of the college, please ask your veterinarian about donating to WAVE. Or, for more information contact:

Those concerned about what will happen to their animals should their human caregivers become incapacitated or die might consider including provisions in an estate plan. One means of doing so is to establish a charitable remainder unitrust to ensure their care in the event disaster strikes. This can be easily accomplished and WesternU’s Planned Giving Office is available to assist in this process. For more information, please e-mail, AISOffice@westernu.edu.
The Pet Memorial Program provides an opportunity for guardians and friends to support the education of the next generation of compassionate, skilled veterinary healers while memorializing the relationship that existed with cherished pets.
We are proud to offer regularly occurring continuing education events for current and future veterinarians. Check out our current and past continuing education events here.
