Excerpt from Veterinary Services Industry Profile

Companies in this industry employ licensed veterinary practitioners and provide medical, dental, and health care services for animals. Major companies include Banfield Pet Hospital, National Veterinary Associates, and VCA Animal Hospitals (all based in the US), as well as CVS Group plc (UK) and Greencross Vets (Australia).

North America is the biggest market for veterinary services worldwide, followed by Europe, according to Precedence Research. Spending on vet services is expected to reach about $1,400 to about $1,700 during the 2026 to 2030 period, with more than a 5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), according to Pet Care Outlook by Morgan Stanley.

The US veterinary services industry includes about 32,000 establishments (single-location companies and units of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of about $40 billion.

Small practices can compete effectively by specializing in particular animals or types of treatment, or by serving an exclusive area. The US industry is highly fragmented: the 50 largest companies account for about 20% of revenue.
