Animal Health Trust – fighting disease and injury in animals
There are many fine charities working in the field of animal welfare but the Animal Health Trust is the one whose actions and achievements provide the greatest long-term benefit for companion animals around the world.
AHT vets not only treat thousands of sick dogs, cats and horses each year, they pioneer better ways of doing so, therefore improving veterinary practice worldwide. At the same time, AHT scientists study the diseases and viruses that our companion animals suffer from in order to find new ways of reducing their frequency and their severity and, if possible, eradicating them altogether.
Furthermore, by publishing scientific papers, speaking at conferences and talking to other veterinary surgeons, the results are passed on as widely as possible in order to improve the health of all dogs, cats and horses wherever they may be.
Anyone who has ever owned a horse, dog or cat is likely to have benefited from the work of the AHT. Many treatments and procedures used every day by veterinary surgeons have been pioneered by our teams of scientists and vets.
