U.S. residents’ self-reported access to veterinary care and implications for care-seeking decisions
These findings illustrate how pet owners' experiences while accessing care may influence their perceptions of veterinarians, satisfaction with them, and care-seeking decisions, including their willingness to seek alternative care providers. Further, they reiterate the need for solutions that enhance care-seeker access to high quality veterinary care and promote good animal health and welfare outcomes.
