Elevated Perception of Animal Diseases and Zoonotic Threats
The increased concern over animal diseases and zoonotic threats is a key driver in the Canada Animal Health market. The more zoonotic diseases are seen as emerging public health concerns, the more Canadian officials and healthcare professionals are highlighting the need to observe animal health to avoid outbreaks. The rising prevalence of diseases such as avian influenza, rabies, and Lyme disease is encouraging governments, veterinarians, and the public at large to adopt proactive steps to ensure the health of animals as well as humans. Therefore, there is an augmented need for veterinary products such as vaccines, diagnostic kits, and therapeutics to prevent the spread of these diseases. The Canadian government is also enforcing more stringent regulations and health monitoring policies, which are further promoting the embracement of veterinary services and animal health products. These are propelling market demand for efficient disease control measures, supporting a stronger animal health industry. In 2025, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) examined the significance of ensuring veterinary care access for everyone and discussed methods for establishing a sustainable veterinary profession at its annual convention in Victoria, B.C. At the CVMA Summit, Access to Care, seasoned professionals shared their distinctive approaches to overcoming personal obstacles in providing access to veterinary care for everyone, which inspired attendees with ideas to integrate into their own practices and communities.
Advancements in Veterinary Medicine and Technology
The ongoing innovations in veterinary medicine and technology are playing a key role in supporting the Canada animal health market growth. New diagnostic equipment, new treatments, and better vaccines are revolutionizing animal health, allowing for quicker, more efficient disease diagnosis and treatment. Veterinarians are employing advanced technologies like telemedicine, mobile applications for monitoring, and artificial intelligence for diagnosis more and more, and these are enhancing the treatment outcomes of animals. These cutting-edge technologies are improving the effectiveness of healthcare provision, making treatment more affordable and within reach for animal owners and livestock producers alike. Moreover, the government is investing in improving the animal healthcare system in the country. For example, during the 2024 Animal Health Canada Forum, Francis Drouin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, revealed on behalf of the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, a funding of up to $13,343,409 over 5 years for Animal Health Canada (AHC) for three projects via the AgriAssurance Program–National Industry Association component, part of the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
Increasing Pet Ownership and Care for Companion Animals
The Canada animal health sector is experiencing rapid growth driven by the growing trend of pet parenting among the masses. More households in Canada are keeping pets, especially dogs and cats, which in turn is driving the demand for veterinary care and animal health products. As per an article by Dogster, the pet population in Canada is anticipated to reach 28.51 million in 2025. Moreover, pet parents are focusing on maintaining the health and well-being of their animals, which is driving the demand for preventive care, nutritional supplements, and specialty treatments. As part of contemporary lifestyles, pet care is increasingly becoming a mainstream concern, and the industry is growing with veterinarians recording increased consultations and adoption of new health products. Greater awareness about the advantages of frequent check-ups, vaccines, and early disease detection is encouraging pet parents to spend on high-level healthcare products, further increasing market growth. Accordingly, animal health businesses keep abreast of these changing needs by constantly innovating and offering new treatments, vaccines, and diagnostics specific to companion animals.
