  • Pet Care Market Offers Opportunity for Food Producers
    FOOD EXPORT ASSOCIATION OF THE MIDWEST USA®/FOOD EXPORT USA®-NORTHEAST February/March 2017 The bi-monthly newsletter for importers of U.S. foods Vol. 13 No. 1 Pet Care Market Offers Opportunity for Food Producers The pet food market is “exciting” compared to human food and other consumer product markets, according to Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Pablo Zuanic. At the same time, the trend toward natural and premium pet food is disrupting the industry’s traditional leaders. Food companies such as Mars Inc., Nestle and J.M. Smucker Co. are also working to gain market share in the pet food industry. They are currently focusing on specialty products such as grain-free dog food and delicatessen-inspired cat food, and Mars’ focus on clinics and surgery may help it stand out from its rivals in the business. The company is working to diversify outside of its candy business, acquiring veterinary and dog daycare company VCA Inc. for $7.7 billion. The move brings the company deeper into pet care, expanding its offerings to cover products and services from food to surgery, reported The Wall Street Journal (Jan. 10). Nestle currently holds the biggest dollar share of the cat and dog food markets with offerings including Purina Pro Plan, Purina Dog Chow, Friskies, Beneful and Purina ONE, giving it 66.8% and 41.1% shares, respectively. J.M. Smucker has the largest share of the pet treat market at 31.8%. In comparison, Mars holds 7% of the cat food market, 29.3% of the dog food market and 20.2% of the pet treat market.

  • Banfield Pet Hospital
    BANFIELD PET HOspital® State of Pet Health 2013 Report Due to the fact that dogs and cats age much faster than humans—one year for a human is roughly five to seven years for a dog or cat—it is especially important that pet owners understand the potential factors that may impact how long their pet lives. The lifespan of a dog or cat can be impacted by various factors including genetics, whether or not a dog or cat is spayed or neutered, the amount of preventive veterinary care received and, of course, breed type and size. The geographic location where a pet lives may also impact his or her lifespan due to preventable diseases plaguing certain parts of the United States. Preventable diseases such as heartworm disease and Lyme disease are life-threatening and may play a role in a reduced lifespan in certain areas of the country such as the Northeast (Lyme disease) and the Southeast (heartworm disease). Heartworm infection is one of the top three conditions or diagnoses for pets seen in Banfield hospitals in the Southern states including Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, among others. These three Southern states had the shortest lifespan for dogs in 2012—Louisiana and Mississippi were also the bottom two states for lifespan in cats. Lifespan estimates are based on age at euthanasia for Banfield patients > 1 year of age. breed chart cat toy/small medium large giant Dogs and cats can be prone to certain diseases based on their breed. average weight: 10 lbs weight: <20 lbs weight: 20-50 lbs weight: 50-90 lbs weight: >90 lbs For dogs, breed size can also put them at an increased risk for certain average lifespan: 12.1 yrs average lifespan: 11.3 yrs average lifespan: 10.8 yrs average lifespan: 11.1 yrs average lifespan: 8 yrs diseases and have a significant impact on their overall lifespan.

  • Vet Bills 3/20/20, 12:03 Pm
    VET BILLS 3/20/20, 12:03 PM HOW TO KEEP YOUR VETERINARY BILL DOWN The ailments that dogs and cats encounter as they age can mirror those of humans. Many are living longer, like their owners, thanks to medical advances and healthier lifestyles. And pets, like people, may put on unneeded pounds, lose muscle mass, develop diabetes, suffer from arthritis and experience a kind of cognitive decline similar to Alzheimer's disease. Human and veterinary health care costs have soared in recent years, both spurred on by such forces as leaps in technology and pricey end-of-life care. Americans spent nearly $19 billion for veterinary care in 2019, up 84 percent since 2001, according to an industry group's data that AARP adjusted for inflation. In fact, health care spending for pets jumped 60 percent between 1996 and 2012 while such spending for people rose less than 50 percent, one study found. With rising costs, pet owners face the same hard choices that they do in their own medical care. What items — blood tests, checkups, vaccinations — do senior dogs and cats really need? Spending on veterinary care When adjusted for inflation, spending on veterinary care increased almost 85 percent in the 19 years from 2001 to 2019. A graphic chart showing the increase in spending for pet care - Source: American Pet Products Association, amounts are in billions of dollars AARP Vet visits good for early detection AARP asked veterinary experts around the country, reviewed studies and looked at guidelines with these results: • More frequent exams. Aging pets, those in the last 25 percent of their estimated life span, should have a physical exam at least every six months, twice as often as younger animals.

  • Veterinary Practice Consolidation Demystified Why Private Equity Investors Pay So Much for Clinics
    Veterinary practice consolidation demystified Why private equity investors pay so much for clinics June 10, 2019 Michael Dicks & Melissa Maddux Ever since the two largest veterinary practice brands, Banfield Pet Hospital and VCA Inc., began to grow 25 to 30 years ago, veterinary practice in the United States has been moving toward consolidated ownership. The pace was sedate at first. Today, it seems as if there are consolidators big and small around every corner. Collectively, they control more than 4,000 veterinary practices and roughly 36% of the small animal market by total revenue. The majority of consolidators are owned by wealthy family entities and private equity firms. Mars Inc. is the single largest veterinary practice owner in the world. Its family members are the descendants of Frank Mars, the company founder. Everyone associates the privately held international Mars company with candy — M&Ms in particular — but it's pet-related investments that are driving Mars' spending growth. Mars operates about 50 different pet-related brands. Its practice brands encompass more than 2,000 clinics and hospitals in the U.S. and Canada, and a few hundred more in Europe. You won't find the Mars name on its clinics. They operate under other brand names — most notably in the U.S., Banfield Pet Hospital, VCA and Blue Pearl. Clinics run by the Mars-owned consolidators Pet Partners and CAPNA do not sport a chain brand name; they are indistinguishable by name from independently owned clinics. Apart from those owned by Mars, most veterinary clinic consolidators obtain capital from private equity firms.
