The association exists to optimize the quality of life of pets in human families and communities by advancing the essential role of primary veterinary care.

 

Veterinary Family Practice is a response to the
  • rapid evolution of the human-animal bond

     

  • dramatic revolution in veterinary knowledge and technology

 

The fact that pets are considered members of the families by the humans with whom they share their lives changes the responsibilities of the family members, the veterinary health care providers and the communities we live in.

 

Please explore these pages to learn how Veterinary Family Practice can apply to your life as a primary care veterinary health provider, a pet parent, a human health care provider or anyone whose lives is involved with companion animals.
