Table of Contents
The world of animal health care is undergoing a transformative evolution, driven by cutting-edge technologies, the growing humanization of pets, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability. By 2025, these trends are set to redefine how we care for pets and production animals, ensuring better health outcomes and enhanced well-being.
Technology: Revolutionizing Animal Welfare
Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this transformation, reshaping veterinary medicine with tools like VetScan Imagyst, developed by Zoetis Chile. This innovative solution uses AI to analyze biological samples such as feces, blood, and urine, enabling rapid and accurate diagnoses of parasites and hematological diseases. According to Zoetis, this technology not only speeds up clinical decision-making but also enhances the experience for veterinarians and pet owners alike.Beyond diagnostics,AI is also revolutionizing drug advancement. By simulating molecular interactions, AI accelerates the revelation of new medications, ensuring more effective and targeted therapies. This approach is setting a new standard in animal health care, paving the way for groundbreaking treatments.
The Multispecies Family: Pets as Integral Members
The concept of pets as family members continues to gain momentum. While animal health professionals caution against excessive humanization, the reality is that over 90% of people view their pets as beloved family members, according to Pets International. This shift has fueled demand for premium products and services, from specialty foods to tech accessories and pet fashion.For instance, PitPat, a leader in canine activity monitors, reports that around 100,000 dogs in the UK are now equipped with activity-tracking devices. This trend toward personalization and luxury is reshaping the pet care industry, making it a key player in the global market.
veterinary Innovations: Monoclonal Antibodies and Antiparasitics
One of the most significant advancements in veterinary medicine is the use of monoclonal antibodies, which are transforming the treatment of various diseases in pets. Cytopoint,the first monoclonal antibody for allergic dermatitis in dogs,relieves itching without compromising the immune system. Similarly, Librela, a monthly injectable therapy for dogs with osteoarthritis, targets Nerve Growth Factor to alleviate pain. For cats,Solensia is the first monoclonal antibody designed to treat osteoarthritis pain.
The antiparasitic sector is also thriving, with products like Revolution leading the way. This all-in-one treatment for dogs controls both internal and external parasites and can be administered by pet owners, making it a popular choice in pet care.
