“The veterinary industry is under huge strain to meet the demand with a 200% increase in new clients, 34% increase in pet adoption across the US, and a burnout rate among veterinary teams at a shocking 80%. Veterinary hospitals find themselves at 100% capacity daily, emergency clinics are experiencing 6-8 hour wait times and on occasion when they reach capacity they are unable to take on any more patients. Veterinary hospitals are strongly encouraging clients to book routine visits at least 4 weeks in advance and are asking clients to confirm their appointments to ensure sick patients and emergency cases can be seen in a timely manner.”
