Royal Canin Gifts $175,000 to Tuskegee’s Veterinary Program

Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine student is overseen by professors.

To further its commitment to equity, inclusion, and diversity in the veterinary industry, Royal Canin announced it is expanding its support of Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine with a five-year financial commitment.

Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine is the only veterinary medical professional program located on the campus of a historically black college or university in the United States. The Royal Canin donation will help promote diversity in the veterinary field by providing discretionary financial support for Tuskegee veterinary students.

“At Royal Canin, we’re driven to create the world we want tomorrow…To achieve this, we must ensure the veterinary talent pipeline more accurately represents our diverse and changing population. We’re proud to support Tuskegee University in its efforts to increase representation in the veterinary industry.”

Cecile Coutens, President of Royal Canin North America

This new contribution expands Royal Canin’s commitment to strengthening diversity within the veterinary field. In 2020, Royal Canin became a founding member of the Diversity Veterinary Medicine Coalition which aims to increase equity, inclusion, and diversity among veterinary professionals. The business further supports other inclusion initiatives through numerous internal Associate Resource Groups (ARGs), including Pride, Tu Voz, and the Black Advisory Council.

“The Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine (TUCVM) appreciates this intentional and impactful partnership with Royal Canin. Of the thousands of veterinarians in the United States, only 2% are African Americans and of this number, we are proud that 70% are our graduates. Together, we are positioned to provide meaningful support to TUCVM veterinary students to sustain the legacy of training and educating underrepresented minorities as veterinarians in the veterinary profession.”

Dr. Ruby L. Perry, Dean of the college
