PET OWNERS TAKE THEIR PET’S HEALTHCARE SERIOUS

The US pet industry topped out at over $123 billion in sales last year, according to a recent study conducted by APPA. Vet care and related products made up $34.3 billion of that amount.

Another survey conducted by financial website LendEDU, found that nearly half of all Americans spend the same or more on their pet’s healthcare than they do on themselves. Veterinarians serve an important role to pet owners much like a pediatrician to parents and their child. This means that pet owners don’t take selecting a pet healthcare professional lightly. In addition to knowledge, a veterinarian must have a variety of medical equipment readily available In order to treat the injuries and illnesses of pets and other animals while meeting pet owners’ high expectations and standards. Equipment and tools include surgical supplies, x-ray, and ultrasound machines. A veterinarian’s day-to-day tasks typically involve treating wounds, diagnosing illnesses, performing surgery, administering vaccines, and prescribing medicines. Having the right equipment on hand is crucial to being able to perform those day-to-day tasks and any emergencies.

Delivery – A Pandemic Silver Lining

We’re two years into the Covid-19 pandemic and for the majority of people, just mentioning it gives an immediate sense of negativity. However, with every cloud there is a silver lining. I like to think the pandemic offered several silver linings such as curbside pick-up and home deliveries. These services became a lifeline for all sorts of businesses during the pandemic. Consumers have become accustomed to these options and still utilize them although most retailers and restaurants have returned to pre-pandemic capacity and business hours. In fact, a J.D. Power survey dated March 2021 found that consumers across all generations embrace online and mobile apps for shopping and dining needs. “…there was a noticeable increase in both curbside and home delivery across all sectors.” The survey went on to point out the three key areas that differentiate online ordering and curbside pick-up/home delivery experiences.
