Purdue Conference on the Human-Animal Bond

The Human–Animal Bond in Academic Veterinary Medicine

Andrew N. Rowan

This article outlines the development of academic veterinary interest in the human–animal bond (HAB) and provides short summaries of the various centers currently studying the HAB at North American universities. Although most of these centers are at veterinary schools, the level of involvement by veterinarians is surprisingly low, considering how important a strong HAB is for the average veterinary practitioner (the stronger the bond, the more the client will be willing to pay for veterinary services).

Key Words: human–animal bond • academic veterinary medicine • research
