The American Association of Veterinary Chaplains (AAVChap) is a pioneering community dedicated to enriching the lives of all who care for and love animals through compassionate, spiritual, and emotional support across the continuum of care. We empower veterinary professionals, clients, and animal companions, fostering a holistic approach to animal welfare that embraces the unique emotional and spiritual connections between humans and animals.
Our 3 Pillar Communities
Animal Caregivers Veterinarians, technicians, assistants, shelter workers, rescue teams, zoo professionals, and support personnel—who provide holistic care to animals. | Clients/Caretakers Individuals, families, and guardians—who seek compassionate guidance and support in caring for their animal companions. | Animal Companions Dogs, cats, birds, horses, and other cherished animals—who receive compassionate care and support throughout all stages of life. |
A veterinary chaplain may specialize in one or more of these communities, and will still be able to assist in any of these areas.
