Banfield’s State of Pet Health report gives you our latest information on health issues facing pets today. Using results from our unique medical records software, PetWare^®, our research team analyzes data from more than 2.5 million dogs, half a million cats, and over 1,000 Banfield locations to create a top-down, big picture of pet wellness across the United States. 

Our patented PetWare^® software allows for expanded record-sharing capabilities to allow data analysis at scale.

Our research team gathers and analyzes data year-round to monitor trends in pet health and disease.
