Veterinary practice expenses and financial ratios, 2003

摘要

To provide an overview of expenses incurred by veterinary practices, practice expenses for selected items were obtained from veterinary practice owners who responded to the 2004 AVMA Expanded Biennial Economic Survey. Mean expenditure for each item was reported for 6 practice types, and weighted means were calculated for all practice types combined. The mean value for each item is representative of practices that incurred an expense for that item. Only responses with values > 0 were used in the cal-culation of the mean for each expense item. For each practice type and all practice types combined, the sum of the expense means will not equal mean total expenses.
