Purina has announced new donations to five leading U.S. Veterinary schools to advance research, education, and innovation in pet health. Timed with International Day of Veterinary Medicine, the initiative supports programs at the University of Pennsylvania, Auburn University, the University of Florida, Colorado State University, and Cornell University. Each collaboration focuses on key areas of Veterinary medicine, including nutrition, dermatology, cognition, canine performance, and integrative care.
The funded programs include a canine cognition and performance initiative at Penn Vet, a Veterinary nutrition professorship at Auburn, an endowed dermatology professor at the University of Florida, a state-of-the-art nutrition training suite at Colorado State, and a comprehensive Veterinary nutrition program at Cornell. Together, these efforts aim to strengthen scientific understanding of feline and canine health while enhancing the education and training of future veterinarians. Purina says the initiative reflects its long-standing commitment to improving pet health and supporting the Veterinary profession through research-driven collaboration.
