New report profiles the US small animal pain management market
A new study from Brakke Consulting takes an in-depth look at pain management products for dogs and cats. ”The pain management market has been one of the fastest growing areas in animal health, with a variety of new active ingredients and novel formulations in the past 15 years,” said Lynn Fondon, senior consultant of Brakke Consulting. “Sales of small animal analgesics have increased 20-fold since the introduction of Rimadyl, the first of the new-generation NSAIDs, in 1996.” The study, Pain Management Products for Dogs and Cats, profiles the veterinary market for analgesics, both veterinary and human products, as well as nutritional supplements and therapeutic diets for joint support. The report includes an overview of pain management in veterinary medicine, leading product sales and pricing, and a discussion of new and developing products. The report also includes a survey of small animal veterinarians. “Our veterinary survey found that veterinarians are largely satisfied with the available products for dogs, but feel there is a need for safer analgesics for cats, particularly those that can be used long-term,” comments Dr. Fondon. The report – published annually by Brakke for the past 7 years – gathered information from a variety of sources, including published information, industry interviews and a survey of over 200 small animal veterinarians.

Bayer/Brakke Study Finds Six Causes for Yearly Decline in Companion Animal Veterinary Visits
Lack of understanding among pet owners of the importance of annual visits and angry cats are contributors to the decline Bayer Animal Health, Brakke Consulting and the National Commission on Veterinary Economic Issues (NCVEI) announced today results of the Bayer Veterinary Care Usage Study, a comprehensive investigation into reasons for the decline in companion animal veterinary visits over the past several years. The study identified six root causes: • The economic impact of the recession; • Fragmentation of veterinary services; • Consumers substituting Internet research for office visits; • Feline resistance; • Perception among pet owners that regular medical check-ups are unnecessary; and • Cost of care. “By far the most important finding, from a pet health perspective, is the misperception by many pet owners that regular medical check-ups for pets are unnecessary,” said Ian Spinks, president and general manager of Bayer Animal Health North America. “This could be driven by the absence of professional patient care guidelines that recommend annual physicals. The unintended consequence is that many pets aren’t getting the care they need for healthy, long lives.” The study included individual interviews and focus groups with veterinarians, focus groups with pet owners and a nationally representative survey of 2,000 owners of dogs and cats to determine the factors contributing to the decline in veterinary visits and to test propositions that would encourage pet owners
