College of Veterinary Medicine at Western University


Western University’s College of Veterinary Medicine was funded to integrate shelter medicine coursework into the school’s core curriculum and provide medical consultation and other services to a broad spectrum of shelter models including no-kill, traditional and animal control shelters.

Established in 1998, the College of Veterinary Medicine at Western University was the country’s first new veterinary school in more than two decades. The college opened its doors to the inaugural class of veterinary students in August, 2003.

During its grant period, Western University conducted preliminary animal sheltering surveys, identified shelter medicine learning issues and developed shelter medicine problems for the school’s Problem Based Learning courses.
