Hill’s Pet Nutrition has released the 2026 State of the Shelter Pet Adoption report, with a focus on large dogs.

Using data from the ASPCA’s Shelter Animals Count, the report found that large dogs (classified as 55 pounds and larger) face disproportionate barriers to adoption, resulting in longer shelter stays on average. The report also highlights opportunities for shelters and advocates to increase large dog adoptions, exploring successful programs and initiatives.

Starting on July 1, incoming U.S. veterinary students face a new $200,000 federal loan cap, a figure significantly lower than the median cost of most colleges when living costs are accounted for.

It is anticipated that students may turn to private lenders to make up the difference in borrowing amount and cost of attendance. These lenders often require stricter credit checks and offer fewer flexible repayment options than federal programs.

Veterinary industry revenue saw a slight dip last week, meanwhile year-over-year visits saw a minor increase.

At VMX last month, John Volk, senior consultant and economic analyst at Brakke Consulting, shared findings from their recent survey. 81% of veterinarians reported clients were more sensitive to costs in 2025, compared to 72% in 2024. More clients are also declining recommended care. Despite increasing price sensitivity and declining visits, veterinary practices saw modest revenue growth driven by rising prices. Volk stated, “I don’t expect price increases to fall to the level of core inflation, but I do think the market is telling veterinarians they can’t keep raising prices at the same pace.”
