Increasing Pet Ownership and Pet Owners

The continuous rise in pet ownership drives the U.S. pet medication market. There has been a notable increase in households worldwide and the U.S. that include pets as part of the family. This trend can be attributed to various factors, including urbanization, changing lifestyles, and an increasing understanding of the emotional benefits of having pets. As more people choose to bring pets into their lives, the demand for pet medication grows. Pet owners seek to provide the best care for their furry companions, and insurance protects their pets' health while managing potential financial burdens associated with unexpected medical expenses.

Increasing Medical Treatment of Companion Animals

Companion animals consist of dogs and cats that are integrated into the family and considered part of the family. These companion animals can act as carriers of diseases that infect humans. Diseases transmitted between animals and humans are known as zoonoses, mainly spread through vectors such as flies, ticks, and mosquitoes. Therefore, the care and concern of pet owners regarding the health and well-being of companion animals are increasing. Routine testing of companion animals during clinical visits is critical to control and prevent the spread of such diseases.
