The Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI) is the trade association representing the developers, manufacturers and distributors of animal pharmaceuticals, biologicals, feed additives and animal pesticides in Canada. CAHI is a national association, whose members are responsible for sales of approximately 90% of the animal health product market in Canada. Sales by CAHI member companies in 2005 were approximately $500 million.

There are over 50 members in the CAHI. They fall into two categories, Full Members, which are companies that market licensed medications with animal health claims and Associate Members. CAHI Associate Members are allied industries that include research firms, public relations companies, consultants and pet food manufacturers to name a few. A full listing of CAHI members can be found in this section, under Members. CAHI is administered by a volunteer board of directors elected annually by the membership. We are a registered, non-profit organization, solely funded by annual membership fees.

CAHI is a member of the International Federation of Animal Health, the Canadian Animal Health Coalition, and an observer on the VICH, the International Cooperation on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Veterinary Products. CAHI is located in Guelph, Ontario.
