This paper presents the search methods, together with categorised lists of retrieved records, that enable us to identify the literature that is acceptable for future systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in veterinary homeopathy.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          \n            Methods:\n          \u2003All randomised and controlled trials of homeopathic intervention (prophylaxis and\/or treatment of disease, in any species except man) were appraised according to pre-specified criteria. The following databases were systematically searched from their inception up to and including March 2011: AMED; Carstens-Stiftung Homeopathic Veterinary Clinical Research (HomVetCR) database; CINAHL; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Embase; Hom-Inform; LILACS; PubMed; Science Citation Index; Scopus.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          \n            Results:\n          \u2003One hundred and fifty records were retrieved; 38 satisfied the acceptance criteria (substantive report of a clinical treatment or prophylaxis trial in veterinary homeopathic medicine randomised and controlled and published in a peer-reviewed journal), and were thus eligible for future planned systematic review. Approximately half of the rejected records were theses. Seven species and 27 different species-specific medical conditions were represented in the 38 papers. Similar numbers of papers reported trials of treatment and prophylaxis (n\u2009=\u200921 and n\u2009=\u200917 respectively) and were controlled against placebo or other than placebo (n\u2009=\u200918, n\u2009=\u200920 respectively). Most research focused on non-individualised homeopathy (n\u2009=\u200935 papers) compared with individualised homeopathy (n\u2009=\u20093).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          \n            Conclusion:\n          \u2003The results provide a complete and clarified view of the RCT literature in veterinary homeopathy.
