Pet Body Donation Program: Veterinary Clinics

EASAV's Pet Body Donation Program is currently on hold. We cannot take any donations at this time.

EASAV sources all of its cadavers with the help of a few local veterinary clinics. In order to continue providing wet-labs for veterinarians and RVTs in the Edmonton area, we need more clinics to help us out!

Part of the Family Pet Memorial Centre has recently undergone a change in ownership and is no longer running our Pet Body Donation Program.
Once we have secured a new partner for this program, we will send an email and update this page.

Helping us is easy! Just have your staff add the following lines to your euthanasia consent forms:

"I am interested in learning about donating my pet's body to science and helping my local veterinary community"
*Communal cremation fees are waived for all acceptable donations*
Click here to see a sample euthanasia consent form; if you want a word version to help you copy and paste, please email us!

Do you have clients looking for financial assistance with common or private cremations?

If they donate their pet to us, the common cremation fee is waived!
We share our excess cadavers with local members wanting to practice skills, the UCVM, Alberta's four Animal Health programs and the scil animal care company.

There is no need to contact us prior to receiving donations.

To accept a donation, have your client and clinic staff complete our pet body donation form
Label the donation accordingly and place it in the freezer
We are in need of more dogs than cats and DO NOT accept dogs over 25 kg of weight (due to storage capacity limitations)
