Alternative Medicine for Animals

Welcome to the site of the AVMC, a centre of excellence for the provision of holistic natural medicine techniques, for the treatment of all kinds of animals. This was the first centre dedicated to Alternative Medicines in the UK and among the first in the world. We practise homeopathy, herbal medicine, acupuncture and many other therapies.

The Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre was formally established in 1987, but Christopher Day, holistic vet, homeopathic vet (homoeopathic vet), acupuncture vet, herb vet and practice principal, has been working in this field for more than 35 years, using acupuncture, homeopathy (homoeopathy), herbs (herbal medicine or herbalism) and other holistic, alternative or complementary therapies.

At the AVMC, we try not to be 'bogged down' by terminology or ideology. Much argument accompanies discussions on nomenclature. We do not mind whether we are called holistic, complementary, alternative or natural. The medicine we practice is the best we can offer, for each patient and it matters not whether it is perceived as holistic medicine, alternative medicine, complementary medicine or complementary and alternative medicine (CAM - CAVM). We do not shun conventional therapy, per se, considering its worth in each case. It is our pleasure not to have to resort to it very often, however.

The Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre is situated in the South East (sometimes also classified as South Midlands), about an hour from London and adjacent to the Home Counties.
