Multi-site veterinary hospital groups, which by 2024 account for over 60% of U.S. clinics, standardize clinical protocols and centralized procurement to cut costs and variance. They favor long-term contracts, enterprise-grade data integrations and scalable training programs. Demand for consistent quality across locations is high, while analytics and KPIs increasingly drive performance management and purchasing decisions.

Small-animal clinics demand safe, evidence-backed products; 70% of US households owned pets in 2023–24 (APPA). Livestock producers need ROI-driven, scalable solutions; global poultry meat >130M tonnes in 2023. Multi-site hospital groups (>60% of US clinics by 2024) standardize procurement.
