Port City’s Corneal Donation Program

Many of us have experienced the heartache of losing a beloved pet and understand the grief can sometimes be overwhelming if we cannot find meaning in the loss. As in human medicine, if we can help another through organ donation, this act can help you get through the sometimes unbearable sadness you are feeling and may help bring about healing.

Here at Port City, we can bank corneal donations to later transplant and save another pet’s eye. Our Ophthalmology doctors determine the patients that need transplants during consults.

Information is available to families at the time of their goodbyes about donating. If they wish to donate, the corneas are saved until needed.

We are honored that you have chosen to trust us with your furry family member's care

Port City Veterinary Referral Hospital opened its doors in 2008 with 15,000sqft of space and 11 exam rooms. At the time, the hospital felt enormous with plenty of room for growth. Now, in 2022, we are caring for 76% more pets than we were in just 2019. This has put a strain on our capacity to invite all of our clients into our hospital.

To meet the needs of the community, and serve as many pets as we can, we will be keeping curbside care in place while we lease and renovate a new, larger building nearby. We’re looking forward to a bright future in a bigger hospital where we can care for all your clever, cute, sneaky, wonderous pets. We ask you to understand and forgive us a little as we navigate the next phase in our evolution.
