Due to the poor air quality from wildfires in Northern California, UC Davis main campus is closed. The Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital and Clinical Diagnostic Laboratories are open for continuity of patient care, but are unable to receive packages through regular mail (USPS), Monday - Wednesday, November 19-21, 2018. UPS and FedEx are unaffected, as they deliver directly to the veterinary hospital. Please do not ship packages through USPS for the duration of the campus closure.

The Clinical Diagnostics Labs will be closed Thursday-Friday, November 22-23, 2018, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Do not ship packages for delivery on those dates. We will reopen on Monday, November 26, 2018 at 8am PST.
