Animal
Health Study
| The Animal Health Study
(AHS), published since 1960,
is a paid quarterly research
study that measures the
quantity of veterinary pharmaceutical,
biological and diagnostic
aids purchased or sold in
the continental United States.
Document information can
be returned to us by postage-paid
mail, fax or microfilm.
We’ll work with you
to obtain this information
in the most convenient and
complete form. Veterinary Informatics will pay
you an honorarium based
on the type of clinic and
number of usable documents
received. |

Benefits
of AHS Participation:
• To animal healthcare
industry: The results of
this study permit decision-makers
in the
industry to be better
informed, allowing them
to make better decisions
about product
development, innovation
and competition. This translates
to better products and pricing
for you and
your clients.
• To you: Many of
our study participants enjoy
participating in research
that benefits the
industry. In addition, an
honorarium is paid to you. |

Security:
Of course,
confidentiality of your data is
contractually guaranteed. All
identifiers are removed and data
is aggregated with that from other
participating clinics, so no individual
clinic data is ever disclosed.
Over 1500 clinics currently participate
in this study and we can provide
references for you from panelists
(see below). A written guarantee
of confidentiality will be provided
on request.
Participant
Satisfaction:
As a research
company, of course we performed
research to determine how our
panelists feel about participation
in VR research. The results of
this study indicate that most
participate because they want
to do research that benefits their
industry or value research participation.
Over 90% of our participants felt
that we valued their participation
and were satisfied with their
relationship with us. Many of
these clinics were willing to
be references for us with other
potential study participants.
We have been in this industry
for over 20 years and over that
time thousands of clinics have
trusted us with their data. You
can trust your data with us.
FAQs:
Q:
Why do you need this information?
How is this information
useful?
A: Unlike a grocery store
product purchase, the animal
healthcare industry does
not have scanners
and bar codes to automatically
provide sales and marketing
information. The distributors
who support and endorse
this research study use
these data to recognize
marke ts with
high growth rates or unmet
needs in the marketplace.
This information increases
competition,
as well as innovation of
new products, which benefits
veterinarians and, most
importantly,
their patients. That is
why we value your participation.

Q:
What types of products are
you interested in?
A: veterinary products,
diagnostics and clinical
aids. |
|
Q:
What if the veterinarian
doesn’t have time
to complete the study?
A: Although the veterinarian
can complete the study,
at many clinics the vet
delegates this task to
another member of the clinic.
Often this person receives
the honorarium, with the
approval of
the clinic. |
|
Q:
What if the vet doesn’t
want me to do it on job
time?
A: Some clinic personnel
complete the study on lunch
or break or other off-the-job
times. |

| Veterinary Informatics
has advanced data tools
to provide you with unique
benchmarks to allow you
to compare your clinic’s
data to aggregated data
from similar clinics in
your area. Using these benchmarks
you can improve inventory
management control, negotiate
better pricing and improve
cost position. Veterinary Informatics can help
you to release the power
of your own data. Of course,
the more accurate and compete
the information provided,
the more accurate and complete
the data analysis can be)
