What are the costs associated with implementing an EMP?
Within a short period of time, an EMP will save the veterinary college money. The cost of running a donation program is less than that of obtaining cadavers from a biological supply company, and comparable to the cost of an in-house embalming operation using animals from another source (e.g., animals from shelters, purpose-bred animals, or retired greyhounds). The majority of veterinary schools already own embalming equipment for large animal anatomy and thus will have minimal start-up costs in implementing a donation program. If the veterinary college does not embalm animals on-site to begin with, there will be modest costs to obtain the embalming chemicals and tools, depending on the set up and number of animals. Other costs include production of client brochures and possibly an extra form for clients to sign over the pet’s remains, as well as transport costs if local veterinary hospitals are included in the donation program.
