DAXOCOX® DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
Feeling the squeeze?
We are all feeling the impact of increasing prices in our daily lives and business operational costs. Post pandemic staffing is especially challenging for many practices.
Did you know that the average UK vet salary has increased by over 22% since 2019, vet nurse salaries have increased by a similar amount and locums have seen their daily pay increase by over 45%14.
Combining all these rising costs and it’s easy to see why some veterinary practices are starting to feel the squeeze.
The rising cost of missed doses
Are you aware of how much revenue your practice could be losing from clients missing doses?
On average, daily medicines will be dosed over a period of 10%15 more days than a weekly equivalent, due to missed doses.
Over the course of a year, this could result in more than 36 days of missed doses. That is 36 days of missed revenue!
Put that into practice – if you have 15 clients in your care who are receiving daily osteoarthritis medication. For these patients you charge their owner £2.75 per day. Over the course of a year you would have missed over £1,600 in revenue!
