We are a 21,000+ strong consumer group of animal owners, farmers, vets and CAM practitioners. We campaign to protect and promote Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) as part of integrated veterinary care.
We formed in November 2017 when the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Council issued their statement on Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Since then, the call for holistic medicine and treatments has grown rapidly and we have noticed an increase in the number of potential customers calling for assistance in finding appropriate CAM treatments from a qualified local professional (see our 2 Years On blog). It has become apparent that a central source of reliable, accurate information for animal owners is needed. We are now in the process of transforming our website into the "go to" place for all things veterinary CAM.
It will highlight the benefits of CAM, explain how treatments work and help make them more accessible to everyone. It will enable people to find CAM practitioners, including vets, and be packed full of case studies along with vet and owner insights. We are currently working with various registered CAM bodies to create and develop this resource.
If you'd like to contribute or can help in any way, please contact us at info@cam4animals.co.uk . We'd be delighted to have you on-board.

What is CAM?
The term 'Complementary and Alternative Medicine' (CAM) includes, but is not limited, to:
- Acupuncture
- Bodywork therapies, e.g. massage, Bowen Therapy, Galen Myotherapy, T Touch
- Herbal medicines
- Homeopathy
- Hydrotherapy
- Osteopathy
- Chiropratic care
- Physiotherapy
Holistic health takes into consideration the whole animal, not just the physical symptoms. Holistic practitioners consider the mental, emotional and environmental needs of the animal. Species appropriate diet and supplements are also considered a vital part of holistic animal health. Complementary modalities are used (complementary to) conventional treatments. Alternative modalities are stand alone treatments.

Our new book "Giving Voice" reflects a deep love of animals and pays tribute to the significant role CAM therapies can play in their well-being. Contributions have come from vets, doctors, supporters of CAM4animals and other poets who feel strongly that they should have the right to choose such treatment options for their animals. Some poems are from established poets, others from people moved to write for the very first time.
There are poems about dogs, cats, horses, cows, a falcon and even a tortoise. Rescued animals feature alongside wonderful descriptions of CAM therapies. And most movingly of all, there are poems devoted to the grief felt when losing a beloved animal.
All profits from the book will go towards supporting the CAM4animals campaign which was established in 2018 to safeguard the use of complementary and alternative therapies as part of integrated veterinary care.
For more information on this lovely book, read our blog here and to buy a copy visit the British Association of Veterinary Surgeons or Helios Pharmacy
