Be the change you want to see in the world
The time for change is here. The need for safe access for veterinary patients and education for their caregivers is as urgent as it is for patients in the human medical field. Be willing to speak up for those without a voice.
Why is this important?
Veterinarians - remember your oath!
“I will strive to promote animal health and welfare, relieve animal suffering, protect the health of the public and environment, and advance comparative medical knowledge.” - The Veterinarian’s Oath (American Veterinary Medical Association)
- Our animals depend on us to be their voice. Join us as we advocate for fair access and species-specific research into the medical use of cannabis for animals.
- The veterinary community is in desperate need of a framework of common standards and practices that support and guide cannabis in animal wellness and clinical practice. Help us create balanced, scientifically-sound policy.
