Gratitude in Action - Southern California Veterinary Health

Join us in supporting animal health in Southern California

Every day, the clinicians, students, and staff at the UC Davis Weill School of Veterinary Medicine are inspired by the deep bond between pets and their people – we are committed to providing the highest level of care, compassion, and comfort to both. Your support of veterinary health through our center in Southern California translates to health for animals.

 

Thank you for your support!

 

Every Gift Makes a Difference

Whether you donate in honor of a beloved pet or to share your gratitude for one of the exceptional veterinarians, residents, students, or staff members who cared for your pet, your support ensures that every animal who walks through our doors receives the love and medical attention they deserve.

A Story of Giving

Dennice Wilson and Choon Neo Siow grew up in very different environments, yet both found deep connection with the animals around them. Dennice sought out pets and animals everywhere she could as a child growing up in Southern California. Choon Neo lived in an urban Singaporean jungle where monkeys and wild boars lived hidden in rainforest that the city island still preserved, wild animals would encounter from time to time. Those early experiences, paired with their personal relationships with their own pets, shaped a shared lifelong care and compassion for animals and belief in the promise of advancing veterinary medicine.

“We support UC Davis and the new center because we are so hopeful for the future that it can bring. We have been fortunate to get to know the fellows who are in the current clinic in San Diego—and when their fellowship is completed, they take that knowledge to all parts of the world to create greater impact. The training and teaching that the school does, alongside the amazing care for animals, it is all for a bright future for veterinary health.” —Dennice Wilson
