    The Rising Cost of Pet Care

    Why does veterinary care cost so much? Peter & Phil get behind the numbers and discuss how it impacts access to care. They discuss veterinary economics & boil it down to a few key factors: 1. **Income & Expenses:** Every veterinary practice has income from services like exams, surgeries, and lab work. But on the flip side, there are significant expenses such as staff salaries, equipment, and overhead costs. 2. **Profit Margins:** Aiming for a profit is essential, and surprisingly, many practices are just now realizing the importance of understanding their finances. 3. **Market Trends:** Over the years, the cost of veterinary goods and services has risen, often outpacing inflation, leading to higher prices for consumers. Understanding these dynamics can help us advocate for better solutions in the veterinary field and help pet owners get better access to care. Join us for another great conversation and then tell us what you think is the biggest barrier to veterinary care today?
