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 nearly 200 small animal veterinarians.

New report provides information about veterinarians’ views of distributors
Brakke Consulting has published the 2009 Distributor Effectiveness Study. The study provides insights in to how veterinarians make purchasing decisions, the attributes they view as most important when selecting a distributor and their rating of distributors that serve their practices. “Distributors are a critical resource for the operation of a successful veterinary practice and continue to represent the majority of product purchases made by veterinarians. In fact, veterinarians have increased the percentage of their total purchases made through distributors in recent years,” said Jay Lockhart, Senior Consultant at Brakke Consulting. The 100-page report is based on a November 2009 quantitative survey of over 900 companion animal veterinarians nationally and 2009 is the third time Brakke Consulting has conducted the study. In addition to reporting national data, the report examines the data for each of 8 regions of the U.S. According to Jay Lockhart of Brakke Consulting, “The regional data illustrates significant differences in practice characteristics for factors such as annual gross revenue, dollar purchases, and interaction levels with distributor sales representatives based on the regions of the U.S. where they are located.” The report provides information about practice demographics and purchasing practices, regional and national distributor market shares, and performance ratings for 29 distributor attributes. It is available from Brakke Consulting for $28,500. Interested companies should contact Jay Lockhart, 314.821.3368 for
