Industry Description

Companies that provide medical/health care for animals.

Industry Trends

Small Group Practices

Large animal hospitals are not generally viable because they need to draw more patients from a larger area than smaller practices, requiring pet owners to make longer trips. The availability of sophisticated testing and radiology equipment that can be run by relatively unskilled personnel produces the economies of scale that make two to five veterinarian animal hospitals financially attractive.
