&lt;/script&gt;</html><description>A&#xA0;comprehensive research initiative was announced today by Bayer HealthCare&#x2019;s Animal Health Division and Brakke Consulting.&#xA0; The research initiative will investigate reasons for the decline in companion animal veterinary visits during the past decade and identify ways to reverse the trend. While the population of dogs and cats in the U.S. has steadily increased year over year, one million fewer veterinary visits were recorded in 2006 versus 2001, according to data published by the American Veterinary Medical Association.&#xA0; A more recent study demonstrated that the decline has accelerated during the recent recession, with more than half of veterinarians seeing stagnant to declining visits. Bayer Animal Health and Brakke Consulting&#x2019;s research will seek to understand the causes behind the reduction in companion animal veterinary visits, and to determine how veterinarians can increase them. &#x201C;Bayer Animal Health is committed to developing solutions to increase awareness of the importance of veterinary care visits to pet health,&#x201D; said Peter Ryan, vice president of Bayer Animal Health&#x2019;s companion animal business unit.&#xA0; &#x201C;Pets that are not routinely taken to the veterinarian are pets that are not receiving the medical attention they need to live healthy lives.&#x201D; Bayer Animal Health and Brakke Consulting are collaborating on the study with the National Commission on Veterinary Economic Issues (NCVEI), a professional organization dedicated to improving economic conditions in veterinary medicine.View Full Post;</description></oembed>
