WE’RE Taking a Pledge “Paws”
Due to the extraordinary demands on all veterinary practices in NJ & the Country, we’ve called a "Pledge Paws", to give participating Lucky Star veterinarians the chance to catch their breath, delaying any pledge of free S/N's until later in 2022. Website will continue to reflect 2021 pledges. Pg.will be updated after 1st Q.

NJ’s SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE
In response to an increased national demand for veterinarians, veterinary specialists & skilled technicians, Rowan University is establishing the first school of veterinary medicine in New Jersey. Currently, there are only 33 veterinary schools in the United States.The Rowan University School of Veterinary Medicine will offer New Jersey’s first Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, as well as additional degrees and training programs designed to shape the future of veterinary medicine and animal health care in the state.
In November, the New Jersey Legislature approved $75 million in funding to construct the school’s primary academic and clinical facility in Sewell. The school plans to welcome its inaugural class of 60 students in Fall 2025, pending approval from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education (COE).
