Pet Memorial

University of Calgary Pet Memorial Program

When a pet crosses the Rainbow Bridge, memorialize them with a donation to support advancements in animal health and teaching the next generation of compassionate veterinarians.

How it Works

Saying good bye to a beloved pet is never easy. You can be the silver lining on the dark cloud.

Pet Memorial allows veterinarians, pet parents, and loved ones to bring meaning to that loss. It's a unique way to celebrate the life of a pet by supporting advancements in animal health and teaching the next generation of compassionate veterinarians.
