Vets in MENA want better products, equipment, medicines, and value-added services. They are not getting it from the market today.

*We interviewed vets in key MENA markets. The market is poised for an overhaul.

  • Current suppliers have little focus on brand building, stakeholder education, or value-added services
  • Opportunistic supply spurts are commonplace with questionable quality
  • Suppliers are often traditional businesses with limited to no speciality offerings
  • We are yet to see businesses focused on companion health in MENA
