Supporting Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine

Truly integrative veterinary care (Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or CAM, alongside conventional veterinary treatments) broadens the boundaries of what is possible for our animals.

We value conventional medicine tremendously and see significant benefits in using CAM appropriately alongside it. Using a variety of modalities can improve our animals’ welfare by tailoring treatment more closely to each individual’s needs.

This can also reduce the need for more toxic options, delivering broader environmental benefits.

CAM4animals is passionate about the benefits of this approach and is here to help people learn more about it.

Integrative (sometimes known as holistic) vet care can play a crucial role in optimising your animal’s life from in the womb, birth and right up to death, making each life stage as straightforward and supportive as possible.

We are a 100% volunteer-run, consumer-driven organisation promoting CAM and integrated veterinary care in the UK.

Please browse our website to learn about CAM treatments, read blogs about them in action,  and how to access them. It is a resource for animal owners and guardians, vets and practitioners alike.

*CAM covers a wide range of well-respected treatments (or “modalities“) that are used in veterinary (and human) healthcare.  Examples are acupuncture, herbal medicine, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, homeopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic treatment and massage therapies or bodywork. See our Modalities page for more information.
