Veterinary Therapeutic Guidelines

Guidelines on veterinary therapeutic practice
The Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) and Singapore Veterinary Association (SVA) recognise the growing range of therapeutic options available for animal patients, including conventional, novel, complementary and alternative therapies. A new set of guidelines jointly developed by AVS and SVA provides a comprehensive framework to aid veterinarians in navigating this expanding field of therapeutic options. These guidelines serve to establish minimum standards, identify key considerations, and offer guidance on how to practise various forms of therapy safely in the interest of animal welfare and health, giving confidence to both veterinarians and clients when evaluating and implementing therapeutic options for animal patients.
