Peace of Mind Program

Pets are part of the family. It's perfectly natural, and very responsible, to plan now for your pet's future. Through the Purdue School of Veterinary Medicine Peace of Mind program, you can assure yourself that your pet will continue to receive compassionate care if the pet outlives you.

This program is designed to give pet owners the peace of mind that their pets will be cared for should they be orphaned. By including the program in your will, you can be assured that your pet(s) will be placed in a good home and that their medical expenses will be taken care of for their lifetime.


How the Program Works


  1. The first step is including the program in your will. The first step is including the program in your will. Do not delay. We will work with you and your attorney to complete arrangements. We ask a minimum of $25,000 for each pet.

  2. Remember to provide Purdue with a copy of your Peace of Mind will provision and information about your pet. If possible, provide the name and address of your veterinarian.

  3. Notify a friend, relative, or neighbor, and the executor of your estate that your pet is enrolled in the Purdue Peace of Mind Program. We will provide a pet-tag with the Peace of Mind toll free phone number upon enrollment.

  4. When a Peace of Mind pet is orphaned by the owner's death, any of the above-mentioned contacts can notify Purdue University. The School of Veterinary Medicine works with veterinarians in the community to identify a new home, and make sure the pet's medical needs are met.

  5. The estate makes the designated gift to the School, supporting the School's animal health care programs.

  6. The pet’s well-being is monitored through follow-up contact with the new owners and their veterinarian.
