The impact of philanthropy
The School of Veterinary Science is dedicated to providing exceptional care to pets and all animals through the provision of outstanding veterinary education, world class research and the highest standards in the practice of veterinary science.
Over the years philanthropic support from alumni, clients, partners and animal lovers has enabled the advancement of veterinary science and care. Many past clients of UQ VETS have made heartfelt bequests and donations after receiving lifesaving treatment to their beloved pets.
Your continued support will enable first class veterinary care and research that is impacting the health and welfare of animals, wildlife and the broader welfare issues of pets in shelters.
