Veterinary Botanical Medicine Association

 

Dedicated to Developing Responsible Herbal Practice

 

 

We’re honored and grateful that almost 2000 participants joined us online for the 15th Annual IHS. This includes over a hundred complimentary enrollments for past and present IHS teachers, sponsors, and guests – as well as full scholarships for 430 participants. More individuals have been able to access teachings than ever before! At the same time, we’ve deeply missed getting to gather with you in person – which is why we’re very excited to share that the 16th International Herb Symposium will be a hybrid event — taking place both online and in person at Wheaton College campus in Norton, MA, on June 9-11, 2023!

 

Make sure to sign up to the veterinary track to support the VBMA speakers, and for CE. There are some amazing teachers at this conference...check them out here: https://www.internationalherbsymposium.com/16th-ihs-teachers/

 

 

 

 

 

 

VBMA Endorses Quality Herbal Products

 

VBMA recognizes that the herbal product industry has faced quality control and regulatory challenges, and we recommend supporting those companies attempting to self regulate in a meaningful way. Companies that manufacture herbal products marketed for humans should be members of the American Herbal Products Association, an industry organization which explores issues, interacts with regulators, and establishes policy.  Veterinary product companies should be members of the National Animal Supplement Council, an organization which develops policies and procedures on adverse event reporting and quality control.

Important Message For Pet Owners

 

The VBMA does not endorse any products sold on the internet for self prescribing to animals. We believe in the interests of safety that any herb should always be prescribed by a qualified practitioner. There are companies using our name with the suggestion that we endorse their recommendations or products. We specifically DO NOT support any website that unethically sells herbs to the public for non prescribed use in animals.  If you are in any doubt as to the authenticity of a claim made on a website about VBMA, please contact us at office@vbma.org. You may use the 'find a veterinarian' link on our site menu to find a qualified practitioner near you.
