Rising Pet Ownership
The surge in pet ownership across Australia is a major driver of growth in the veterinary healthcare market. More households are adopting dogs, cats, and other companion animals leading to increased demand for veterinary services, diagnostics, and preventive care. According to industry reports, 58% of Victorians own pets, totaling 1.4 million households. Most pet owners (64%) cite companionship as the primary reason. Dogs are the most popular, with 41% ownership, followed by 24% for cats. As pets are now being seen more and more as part of the family owners are also willing to invest in their welfare and health including check-ups regularly, immunization, and advanced treatments. The demand is generating consumption of veterinary medicines, pet grooming centres, and well-being products. The trend can especially be seen with millennials and city dwellers, who like to buy high-standard, tailor-made pet care. Pet adoption campaigns and heightened awareness of animal welfare have also been contributors to the growing number of pets. This overall change in lifestyle and attitude is contributing significantly to influencing healthcare spending patterns and supporting overall demand throughout the Australia veterinary healthcare market.
Growing Demand for Digital Veterinary Services
Digital veterinary services are rapidly transforming animal healthcare in Australia, with telemedicine and mobile vet services gaining popularity among pet owners seeking convenience and timely care. For instance, in September 2024, Dial A Vet, Australia’s leading telehealth service, announced its plans to offer 24/7 access to licensed veterinarians for 7 million households nationwide. With affordable 25 AUD consultations, the platform aims to enhance pet care accessibility, particularly in remote areas, ensuring pet owners can seek help anytime, from home. Virtual consultations allow pet owners to connect with veterinarians from home, reducing the need for travel and wait times especially valuable in remote or underserved areas. Mobile veterinary clinics provide on-site services like vaccinations, health check-ups, and minor treatments, catering to busy urban lifestyles and improving access in rural communities. These services also enable better follow-up care, chronic condition management, and behavioral consultations without disrupting the pet’s environment. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital platforms, and the shift has persisted due to ongoing demand for flexible, tech-enabled solutions. This digital transformation is playing a crucial role in improving service accessibility and efficiency, directly contributing to Australia veterinary healthcare market growth by expanding care reach and consumer engagement.
