COVID-19 Impact
During the early stages of the pandemic, due to lockdowns and social distancing measures, many veterinary clinics and hospitals experienced temporary closures or limitations on non-essential services. This led to a decrease in routine check-ups, elective surgeries, and preventive treatment for animals. Veterinary settings also had to adapt to certain changes in their operations by implementing measures such as curb side appointments, telemedicine consultations, and shortened clinic hours to ensure the safety of staff and pet owners.
These changes affected the regular working hours and revenue of veterinary services and practices. The pandemic caused supply chain disruption and affected the availability of animal health medications, vaccines, and other medical supplies. Due to the delays in manufacturing and distribution, challenges in transporting them, and increased demand for certain products, there were shortages or limited availability of certain drugs or treatments. The disruption significantly impacted the ability of veterinary settings to provide optimal care, and due to increased demand and limited supply, the costs for animal drugs increased.
