Western University of Health Sciences’ College of Veterinary Medicine will once again welcome thousands of visitors to its annual Open House on Saturday, April 5, 2025. The event, on the WesternU California campus at 309 E. Second St., Pomona, is set to run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature immersive experiences and educational opportunities for visitors of all ages.

This free event includes interactive sessions, guided tours of our state-of-the-art facilities, pet adoptions, a petting zoo, and immersive hands-on activities. It also attracts local Scout, Brownie and Daisy troops as one of the only locations in the Los Angeles County area that offers the opportunity for members to get an animal care badge.

The purpose of our Open House Event is to foster meaningful connections within our local community and professional partners while offering a comprehensive exploration of our facilities. Attendees will be guided through immersive tours of our College’s clinical, curricular, and laboratory facilities, providing an introduction to our academic and professional offerings.

One of the highlights will be visiting CVM’s newly-opened Hyla Marrow Feline Surgical Suite, which provides high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter training to third and fourth-year veterinary students. The goal is to reduce shelter overcrowding and euthanizations while educating future competent and compassionate veterinarians. The Hyla Marrow Feline Surgical Suite is part of the WesternU Pet Health Center.

This event serves as a platform to enlighten the public on the vital role of veterinary professionals, access to veterinary care, and the significance of animals in our society. This will be achieved through educational sessions, insightful career talks, and interactive hands-on activities that underscore the importance of our field and its impact on both animal and human well-being.
