The Canadian Association of Veterinary Cannabinoid Medicine (CAVCM) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and accessibility of cannabis-based therapies for animals. Founded by a group of veterinary professionals, CAVCM advocates for veterinary access to cannabis while collaborating with veterinary associations and engaging with regulatory bodies like Health Canada as new legislation arises. Their mission emphasizes education, research, and advocacy, aiming to enhance the quality of life for animals through evidence-based cannabinoid therapies.

CAVCM provides a wealth of resources, including an open library, research materials, and learning modules for veterinarians and pet families. They also host symposiums and virtual conferences to promote knowledge sharing and species-specific research in veterinary cannabis medicine. Membership is open to veterinary professionals and supportive scientists, fostering collaboration in this evolving field. Through their initiatives, CAVCM continues to pave the way for innovative approaches to pain management and therapeutic care in veterinary medicine.
