History

Since its establishment in 1978, JAHA has invited foreign speakers 3 to 4 times a year, to offer updated veterinary knowledge and techniques. Since 1986, JAHA started visiting nursing homes and other facilities, accompanying animals that are healthy, clean and well trained. For this activity, JAHA was reorganized as a government authorized non-profit organization in 1987. In 1994, JAHA became a national member of International Association of Human Animal Interaction Organization (IAHAIO). In 2009, JAHA became the first authorized public interest incorporated association in the animal and veterinary field in Japan.
