Pets Feel the Bite of Recession
Fewer pet owners going to the vet; cat owners decrease spending 20 percent in three basic pet care categories Kansas City, Mo. – A survey of 1,200 dog and cat owners by The Pert Group and Brakke Consulting found veterinarians continue to be key influencers and a primary channel for pet products. But, changes in consumer behavior and potential legislation could erode their role. The study showed dog and cat owners rely on veterinarians as their primary channel for pet products, including flea and tick control, heartworm prevention, joint health, pain management and therapeutic food. But, survey respondents said they visited the veterinarian nearly 20 percent less in 2011 than they did in 2007 – if they went at all. In 2011, 77 percent of survey respondents said they took their dog or cat to the veterinarian, compared to 88 percent in 2007, when the study was first conducted. “Dogs and cats are feeling the bite of the recession as pet owners put a leash on pet care expenses,” said Susan Spaulding, executive vice president and principal at The Pert Group. “The recession has not only decreased what consumers spend on their own health,* but what they spend at the veterinarian.” Spending by cat owners who had not taken their pet to the veterinarian in the last year was down across

New report profiles the US flea, tick and heartworm markets
A new study from Brakke Consulting takes an in-depth look at flea, tick and heartworm products, the largest segment of the companion animal market. ”The flea control and heartworm preventatives market has been one of the most innovative areas in animal health, with a variety of new active ingredients and novel formulations,” said Lynn Fondon, senior consultant of Brakke Consulting. “Sales of flea control products have tripled in size since the introduction of Program, the first of the new-generation products, in 1995.” The study, The US Flea Control and Heartworm Markets, profiles the veterinary and OTC markets for flea and tick products and heartworm preventatives, including veterinary product sales and pricing, advertising expenditures, and new and developing products. “This year’s study is especially interesting because of the introduction of generic fipronil products into the OTC and veterinary channels,” comments Dr. Fondon. “Generic alternatives to the leading flea product in the US – and the world – have the potential to substantially change the dynamics of the market.” The report – published annually by Brakke for the past 15 years – gathered information from a variety of sources, including published information, industry interviews and a survey of over 200 small animal veterinarians and 500 pet owners. The US Flea Control and Heartworm Markets report is available from Brakke Consulting for
