State and federal funding for health studies benefiting companion animals is almost non-existent. The CCAH is supported entirely by contributions from individuals, animal lovers, veterinary practitioners, breed clubs, pet-related industries and private foundations.

Donations are used to fund priorities such as animal health studies, scientific equipment and facilities improvements, operational costs, educational seminars and other programs associated with our animal health mission. The UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine faculty publishes more papers per person, per year, than does faculty at any other veterinary institution in North America.

If you would like to help support CCAH and the animals we serve you may print off and send in the contributions form or contact a School of Veterinary Medicine development officer for more information.
