Dec. 11-17, 2022

Manufacturers sent notification of their 2023 prices increases, some as high as 10%. We’re paying attention to how veterinary practices will implement these increases and what the impact will be on revenue and visits. To reduce sticker shock while maintaining margins, practices will need to be more intentional with their overall pricing strategy and pricing at the code level (as opposed to the category level). In 2022, on average, practices implemented a 9-9.5% increase on services, and a 6-6.5% increase on products. Considering the outpaced decline in product-only purchase visits compared to well and sick visits, practices may be able to leverage service revenue growth to offset increasing product costs to create a competitive advantage on product sales.

Last week: U.S. veterinary practices saw year-over-year revenue growth of 2.7% and -5.0% decline in visits.
