When a beloved pet dies, it can be difficult for owners to find solace and meaning. A donation to one of our Memorial Giving Programs can help provide some consolation and hope for a better future for animal health to those in need of comfort.

For clinics: Clinic Memorial Giving Program

One of the true tests of veterinary practice comes when nothing more can be done for a patient. Veterinarians are routinely called upon to assist their clients in facing something that feels anything but routine - the death of a beloved pet. When you must assist that death, the experience can leave both you and your client in need of comfort and a way to reaffirm your relationship.

The Baker Institute's Clinic Memorial Gift Program meets both your needs.

• Clients find solace and validation in the thoughtful acknowledgment of their loss.
• Practitioners have a thoughtful way to reach out to their clients and bring positive perspective to a painful experience. Practitioner-client relationships often grow stronger as a result.
• When you join, we'll provide you with a 16" x 20" print version of our latest infographic that you can hang in your clinic. 

To participate in the program, use our online gift portal. When you provide a gift and contact information for your client, we will send a letter to your clients informing them of your kindness.
