The increase in pet ownership is expected to drive the growth of the veterinary rehabilitation services market in the coming years. Pet ownership refers to the practice of keeping and caring for a domestic animal or pet and includes a range of responsibilities related to the animal’s health, well-being, and ongoing care. The rise in pet ownership is attributed to shifting societal views that consider pets as family members, greater awareness of the mental and physical health benefits of pet companionship, and the growing availability of pet-friendly housing and services. Veterinary rehabilitation services have become an essential component of modern pet care, used by pet owners to help their animals maintain healthy, active, and fulfilling lives. For example, in April 2025, according to the Canadian Animal Health Institute, a Canada-based trade association, Canada was home to approximately 7.2 million dogs and 8.2 million cats in 2024, with pets being an integral part of more than half of Canadian households. Therefore, the rising level of pet ownership is expected to propel the growth of the veterinary rehabilitation services market.

Major companies operating in the veterinary rehabilitation services market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions such as laser therapy and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) systems to meet the growing demand for non-invasive rehabilitation, faster recovery, effective pain management, and improved quality of life for companion and equine animals. Laser therapy and PEMF systems are advanced rehabilitation technologies that utilize light energy and electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote tissue regeneration. These technologies offer a modern alternative to traditional methods such as manual physiotherapy or surgical interventions, which may be more invasive or slower to deliver results. For instance, in May 2025, Respond Animal Therapeutics, a U.S.-based veterinary technology company, launched its rebranded and enhanced laser and PEMF therapy systems. These advanced rehabilitation solutions are designed to support accelerated healing and non-invasive pain management, featuring integrated technologies for precise treatment delivery, an improved user interface, and scalable applications across veterinary clinics, hospitals, and equine facilities. This enables veterinarians to provide comprehensive, stress-free care for animals.
