Homoeopathic vets are fully qualified veterinary surgeons who have chosen to take further training and qualification in the use of homoeopathic medicines. Veterinary homeopathy involves the treatment of an animal as a whole rather than just of a specific complaint. Homeopathy is an holistic therapy and takes into account factors such as environment, diet, exercise, lifestyle and other symptoms that an animal may be suffering from. Homeopathy was first used in animals around 1810, and is now widely available as a treatment that involves no risk of toxic side-effects or stimulation of antibiotic resistance. Laboratory animal research is not required for the development of homeopathic medicines.
