HELPING THE NEXT PET. The Iron Dog Fund is a client assistance fund in the College of Veterinary Medicine that helps companion animals of all kinds, not just dogs, when their families need assistance covering the cost of essential veterinary care.

Thanks to a generous estate gift, the fund has helped numerous pets receive treatment they otherwise may not have been able to access. Over the past year and half, over 80 pets have received support through the Iron Dog Fund, averaging $2,200 per case.

This incredible support of helping pets in need has caused Iron Dog Funds to be significantly depleted.

Please consider making a contribution to the Iron Dog Fund and help the next pet and family in need.
