Stats from the Veterinary Industry Tracker powered by Vetsource and the AVMA

 

Nov 13-Nov 19, 2022

On average, visits are down, new patients per practice are down, and lapsing patients continue to rise. As a result, for the last two months, active patients per practice have started to decline as well. While active patients per practice are still similar to November 2020, the average number of appointments per practice in October were lower than they were in 2021, 2020, and 2019. Practices should pay close attention to their numbers and be ready to implement growth generation initiatives before these trends impact revenue. Price increases can only do so much.
