In 2023, the U.S. veterinary services industry recorded 10.6 nonfatal work injuries and illnesses for every 100 full‑time workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The national average for all workers that year was 2.4 per 100 full‑time workers. Of the recordable cases in the veterinary sector, 29 % involved days away from work, job transfer, or work restriction, while 71 % were classified as other recordable cases that required medical treatment beyond first aid but did not lead to days away from work. The data suggest that injuries in the veterinary industry are generally less severe. These figures come from the Bureau’s Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities program.
