The IAVH is the International Association for Veterinary Homoeopathy

It was founded in 1986 with the goal of maintaining and promoting understanding of homoeopathic veterinary medicine. 
IAVH committed itself in particular to long-term work for the benefit of animal health within the framework of a wider medical perspective and in harmony with the goals of ecological farming. Clinical research, publications and exchange of experiences within the framework of conferences and congresses as well as seminar activities and training courses in the area of veterinary homoeopathy form core areas of our work. 
The construction of an international network and a representation of interests on a political level are logical consequences of the IAVH's endeavours to promote the concerns of veterinary homoeopathy world-wide. As well as the personal involvement of our members, our well-developed communication contributes towards realising IAVH's goals.

The following countries are represented by a National Secretary in our association:
Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, France, Greece, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, the USA, Switzerland and Scandinavia. Moreover, we have members in Australia, Bulgaria, New Zealand, India, Japan, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, South Africa, the Czech Republic and Turkey
