  • A gift to last: The Companion Animal Health Fund (CAHF) has received a generous gift from the estate of Dr. Michael Powell, a beloved small animal veterinarian who served the Saskatoon area for 35 years. His gift will continue to support the WCVM and CAHF for years to come.

  • Creating a legacy of animal health research: Throughout its 40-year history, the Companion Animal Health Fund has sponsored hundreds of research studies worth thousands of dollars — providing support that will only continue.
  • Parvo protection: WCVM researchers are trying to identify warning signs and patterns associated with canine parvovirus — a common, unpredictable and deadly virus that affects all kinds of dogs.
