The Society for Companion Animal Studies (SCAS) is a UK-based membership charity dedicated to understanding how interactions between people and companion animals can improve quality of life and well-being.
SCAS works to bring this information to the general public and people working within different professions, in order to positively influence understanding, policy and practice. SCAS provides information, education and training on many aspects of the human-animal bond.
SCAS also runs the Pet Bereavement Support Service in conjunction with The Blue Cross animal welfare charity.
SCAS has worked in partnership with The Blue Cross since 2003.
Updates:
Several SCAS members recently attended the IAHAIO conference in Tokyo, Japan at which the IAHAIO 2007 Tokyo Declaration was unanimously approved by the General Assembly. Click IAHAIO for further information.
The 2007 SCAS conference on animal-assisted therapy took place in Oxford on 15 November. Presentation slides will shortly be available on the SCAS website, and summaries of the presentations will appear in a forthcoming SCAS Journal.
