Keywords:
Veterinary clinic location,People Perspective, Skill & Technology, Basic Amenities, Medical Facilities, and Hospital Location AttributesAbstract
The strategic placement of veterinary clinics is decisive for effective animal healthcare. This study employs Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to assess key determinants of veterinary clinic location, including People Perspective, Skill & Technology, Basic Amenities, Medical Facilities, and Hospital Location Attributes, using data from 150 veterinary doctors. Findings show Skill & Technology as the most influential factor, providing critical insights for strategic location planning and informed decision-making in veterinary clinic development.
