Advisory Board

The Companion Animal Health Fund’s advisory board brings a wide range of interests, backgrounds and opinions to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

Board members include veterinarians, regional representatives of the Canadian Kennel Club, researchers and dedicated pet owners. CAHF’s advisory board members ensure that the College’s companion animal health research and training programs continue to be valuable and relevant to veterinarians, pet owners and companion animal associations across Western Canada. As well, these dedicated volunteers help to promote the goals and achievements of the Fund among their peers.
