There is a dramatic paradigm shift occurring in the animal health care world.
This new paradigm, which is called Integrative Medicine, takes a more holistic
approach to the treatment of animal disorders than the
present traditional medical model which focuses mainly on
pharmacological solutions.
The Veterinary Institute of Integrative Medicine (VIIM) was formed to bring integrative medicine to the forefront of animal healing. It was established by a group of leading veterinary doctors who were concerned that veterinarians and animal owners were not fully aware of the benefits of integrative approaches to healing animals. The mission of the Institute is to create resources to help educate veterinarians and dog, cat & horse owners about holistic veterinary medicine.
Quick Reference to How We
Support You:
The Veterinary Institute has developed this web site so that veterinarians
and animal owners alike will have a comprehensive source of scientific-based
knowledge from which to draw upon to help our animals
live longer; healthier and happier lives. Unfortunately, in
the animal health world much of the information and
research on integrative medicine you find on the web is
of poor quality. Our goal at the Institute is to help more
animals heal by providing the most trusted, up to date
and easy to understand scientific knowledge available
anywhere.
In response to the growing demand by the veterinary
community for information on nutraceuticals and natural
medicine, the veterinarians at the Veterinary Institute
of Integrative Medicine (VIIM) have produced the Veterinarians'
Desk Reference of Integrative Medicines (VDR). The VDR
provides veterinarians with a comprehensive manual
on using animal health products. While animal owners
may refer to the Veterinary Desk Reference, we make
it available only so that consumers may have more
informed interactions with their veterinarian. We urge
consumers to make no medical decisions without a consultation with
their veterinarian.
The Veterinary Institute of Integrative Medicine has recently edited
its database of holistic veterinarians so that animal owners
can find a
veterinarian to support them in helping their animal
heal with an integrative approach. Click to visit
our Find an Integrative Vet page.
For additional listings of holistic veterinarians, visit
the websites of these professional organizations for a
directory of their members:
• American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association - www.ahvma.org
• International Veterinary Acupuncture Society - www.ivas.org
• American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture - www.aava.org
• American Veterinary Chiropractic Association - www.avca.com
If you are a veterinarian that utilizes an integrative approach and would like
to be added to our database, please submit your information on the Vet Data
Update page.
