Veterinary telehealth encompasses the utilization of technology for providing health information, education, and remote care in veterinary practice. It involves the electronic exchange of medical information to enhance the assessment and analysis of animals' overall health.
The primary animal types in veterinary telehealth include canine, feline, equine, bovine, swine, among others. Canines are mammals characterized by snouts, nonretractable claws, and often elongated muzzles. This telehealth service is available in various forms such as telemedicine, teleconsulting, telemonitoring, and more.
Tariffs have influenced the veterinary telehealth market by increasing costs for imported telecommunication devices, monitoring sensors, and software platforms, particularly affecting asia-pacific and european regions where reliance on imported technology is high. The added costs have impacted service providers offering teleconsulting and telemonitoring for companion and farm animals. On the positive side, tariffs have stimulated local development of telehealth platforms and encouraged innovation in domestic digital solutions, which may improve long-term access and affordability.

The increasing prevalence of zoonotic diseases in animals is expected to drive the growth of the veterinary healthcare market in the coming years. Zoonotic diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi, which can affect both humans and animals, ranging from mild to severe conditions and, in some cases, death. This prevalence is rising due to closer interactions between humans and animals. Veterinary healthcare plays a critical role in managing zoonotic diseases in animals by enabling early diagnosis and treatment, implementing preventive measures, monitoring outbreaks, and promoting responsible animal care to protect both animal and human health. For example, in July 2025, according to the UK Health Security Agency, a UK-based government organization, there were 154 confirmed and probable cases of leptospirosis (a bacterial zoonotic infection) in 2024, representing an 11.6% increase from 138 cases reported in 2023. Therefore, the rising prevalence of zoonotic diseases in animals is expected to propel the veterinary healthcare market.
