Join us in supporting animal health.
Every day, the clinicians, students, and staff at UC Davis’ William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital and UC Veterinary Medical Center, San Diego 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 UC Davis’ veterinary hospital, clinics, and centers translates to health for animals.
