The American Society of Animal Naturopathy is one of the only educational organizations offering cutting-edge classes on how to improve your animal's health through proper nutrition, homeopathy, aromatherapy, herbal medicine and other natural methods. Unlike some groups offering similar classes, ASAN does not promote any one naturopathic modality over another.
