October 2022 Monthly Recap

With economic experts highlighting a weakening global economy and pointing toward a likely U.S. recession, businesses should prepare for continued volatility ahead. We see this uncertainty reflected in U.S. veterinary practice performance for the month of October. Even though overall revenue growth was up last month, when compared to September, October’s year-over-year revenue, visits, and parasiticides metrics were all trending down. These metrics are based on transactional data from around 4,600 veterinary practices across the United States.
