This is where you can see the structure and layout of our website. There are more than 600 pages. There is a recently added FAQ section, with many selected questions and answers, arranged by topic.

If you want to search this site for a particular topic, run a word search of this page in your browser.

Navigation: At the time of writing, there are two link bars at the base of each page, the first offering the pages 'beneath' the viewed page (plus 'welcome' and 'up') and the second offering some common landmark pages. At the top of each page are 25 buttons linking to various key (main) pages of the site. Each page is well sprinkled with useful links to other relevant pages. Send us an email, if you can't find what you need.

The Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre (AVMC) treats animals of all species (horses, ponies, dogs, cats, donkeys, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, domestic fowl (poultry), birds, reptiles etc.) with natural medicine (also variously known as 'holistic medicine', 'complementary medicine', 'CAVM' or 'alternative medicine') and campaigns for animal welfare and the environment, on many fronts. Therapies used include acupuncture, herbal medicine ('phytotherapy', 'herb medicine', 'herbs' or 'herbalism'), homeopathy ('homoeopathy' or 'homœopathy'), chiropractic manipulation, Schuessler tissue salts (Schussler, Schüßler or Schüssler), aromatherapy (essential oils), Bach flowers (Flower Essences) and nutritional therapy (diet, nutrition, natural feeding).

The work includes consultations at the premises and visits to farms, homes and horse yards (stables). There is a Video Consultation Service, for those unable to come to the AVMC, whether living abroad or in remoter parts of the UK.

The AVMC sells books on natural medicine and natural feeding.

The AVMC supports organic farming and offers a discount to holders of the Soil Association symbol and to those 'in conversion'.

Christopher Day MRCVS has provided services as 'expert witness' in animal-related cases, both for prosecution and defence.

N.B.: 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. Likewise, it does not matter whether we are described as a holistic, natural, herbal, homeopathic, chiropractic, acupuncture or integrated veterinary practice. The medicine we practise is the best we can offer, for each patient and it matters not whether it is perceived as holistic medicine, alternative medicine, complementary medicine, natural medicine, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM - CAVM) or integrated medicine. We offer traditional standards of professional care, in an integrated package. Although we specialise in alternative therapies, seeking alternatives to conventional drug therapy, we do not shun conventional therapy, per se, considering its worth in each case. No truly holistic vet can ignore the existence of conventional drugs which, while quite unable to cure chronic disease, on rare occasions may be the only way to control distressing or painful symptoms. It is noteworthy how much the body can achieve without drugs, however. Our holistic and integrated service is offered in support of animal patients, owners and carers and the veterinary profession. We are always willing to assist vets in the UK and worldwide in providing integrated care for their patients, providing the natural therapy component of a treatment programme.

As herb vet / herbal vet, Chris Day uses traditional Western Herbs, which naturally form the indigenous plant medicine of his patients. As homeopathic vet, he uses many different homeopathic methodologies, not being confined by any single doctrine. As acupuncture vet, he uses needling, LASER stimulation, moxibustion, electro-acupuncture and acupressure. As chiropractic vet, he examines every patient for correct skeletal alignment and offers manipulation for those that require it. As holistic vet, he integrates these therapies, as needed and advises natural, species-suitable feeding.
