**A recent analysis shows the number of graduates from existing veterinary colleges is likely enough to meet demand through 2035, according to a study commissioned by the
American Veterinary Medicine Association.
The projections do not justify a conclusion of overall excess capacity or a capacity shortage by 2035.
Meantime, the population of veterinarians is likely to grow faster than pet-owning households if all 13 proposed veterinary schools become accredited.
