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.

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.”
