Research
We participate in research to show evidence based veterinary medicine, probe access to care issues and develop new delivery models
See our recent article in Frontiers in Veterinary Science: Payment options: An analysis of 6 years of payment plan data and potential implications for for-profit clinics, non-profit veterinary providers, and funders to access to care initiatives
We also share other research and articles:
Pet Family and Community Demographics
- Access to Care Coalition Report
avcc.utk.edu/avcc-report.pdf - Pet Owners Perceptions and Experiences with Community Veterinary Clinics
aspcapro.org/research/study-pet-owners-perceptions-and-experiences-community-veterinary-clinics - Meals on Wheels America, Pet Programming and Client Needs Assessment (2021)
This report identifies the attachment levels of home bound clients of Meals on Wheels programs across
the country with their pets and the needs of those pet homes. Survey questions align to the Access to
Veterinary Care 2018 study to provide comparison in incidence and barriers to accessing veterinary care.
