PONTO DE VISTA DA BRAKKE CONSULTORIA
Quando o gasto com seus animais de estimação se torna excessivo? Em outras palavras, qual valor em reais faria você hesitar em relação aos cuidados veterinários do seu pet?
Em uma postagem recente do Professor de Negócios de Animais de Estimação, he shared a graph on Petflation through January 2026, using 2019 prices as the base, the US CPI sits at 26.6%, Total Pet at 29.1% and Veterinary Services as the highest at 49.6%. GULP… that’s almost twice of CPI but the visual is what is really striking. While most categories made steady regular treks upward the steep and continuing climb in veterinary is shocking.
Todos vocês já viram os dados: as visitas ao veterinário diminuíram e os consultórios estão sentindo o impacto. Para muitos donos de animais de estimação, o custo dos cuidados veterinários é um verdadeiro desafio, como demonstra um estudo recente. Proprietários de animais de estimação nos EUA Afirmando que 7 em cada 10 proprietários deixaram de levar seus animais ao veterinário no último ano devido ao custo.
Conversas sobre finanças nunca são fáceis para ninguém, mas estudos recentes Este estudo demonstra que revelar informações financeiras pessoais pode aliviar a ansiedade. Como veterinária, lido regularmente com discussões financeiras com clientes — nunca me esquivei do assunto —, mas ultimamente tenho respirado fundo com mais frequência, pois estou refletindo mais do que nunca sobre o que seria o meu próprio "excesso". Não sei de onde virão as respostas e soluções, mas tenho certeza de que este setor também será capaz de enfrentar esse desafio.

SUA VISÃO
Semana passada we asked your thoughts on the merger of MWI Animal Health and Covetrus. We received several responses with many wondering if the merger would pass FTC scrutiny and if the impact might be more harmful to the veterinary industry due to job losses, reduced competition and potentially higher prices. Several noted the cultural mismatch between the two companies being a potential challenge- overall sentiment leaned towards skepticism and concern. Only time will tell what impact will result.
This week we want to know what dollar amount might give you pause for veterinary care for your pet.
