How to Donate in Memory of a Deceased Pet to the Cornell Vet Hospital

Cornell University veterinarians treat more than 55,000 animals every year, from pets to farm and exotic animals. Losing a pet is never easy and Cornell uses the latest technology to provide medical care to cases referred by other veterinarians, while researching to improve the lives of animals and people. Monetary donations help keep programs and memories alive at Cornell Veterinary Hospital. A donation made in memory of a beloved pet is a way to honor their memory while helping future pets.
