How should pet medicine develop in China?
Because of the large proportion of people who feed pets abroad, the demand is high. The level of technology and inspection methods have also increased. Foreign pet medicines are more professional and standardized.
With the improvement of people’s living standards, the production of pet medicines has gradually been unable to meet the needs of more and more pets. It is urgent to produce pet medicines that are marketable and cater to consumers’ psychology. At present, the pet medicine market contains huge business opportunities. The original manufacturers of veterinary drugs may consider developing into the pet drug market. Mainly manifested in the following three aspects:
1. Develop compound pet medicines that can treat a variety of diseases. In particular, it is a multi-purpose drug that can be used externally, orally, and injectable. Such drugs do not require much investment. It is only necessary to formulate several drugs with similar treatment principles.
2. Produce small-dose medicine suitable for pets. Many high-dose medicines for large animals and human medicines are effective in treating pet diseases. Just improve the packaging and adjust the dosage.
3. Veterinary drugs and pet drugs have a certain relevance. Strengthen basic research on veterinary drugs, and use them as pet drugs after screening. Especially in the preparation of pet parasitic diseases, new antibacterial drugs or various feed additives, etc., increase research efforts.
