Membership

SCAS is a membership charity for people interested in the human-companion animal bond – from those who are involved in academic research, to pet owners who wish to know more about how and why we interact with companion animals.

Disseminating knowledge about the relationship between humans and their companion animals and the benefits that this can bring is one of the Society’s most important activities.
