Veterinary Specialists in Short Supply

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, veterinary specialists are in short supply and resulting from a lack of residency training programs.

The sheer growth of pet ownership has outstripped the supply.  By all means, veterinary specialists are growing at a faster rate than veterinarians overall, but specialists remain a small portion of the veterinary profession.  Data from the American Pet Products Association illustrate that pet ownership is on the rise everywhere, with 68% of US households owning a pet in 2018, vs just 50% in 1988.
