1. Market Dependence: Vetoquinol is highly dependent on the global animal health market, which is subject to factors out of Vetoquinol’s control, such as economic cycles, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and national or regional trends in animal expenditure.

2. Reliance on Key Customers: Vetoquinol’s sales rely significantly on the purchasing decisions of key customers, such as pet stores and veterinary clinics, so a change in the preferences or behavior of these customers could lead to a decrease in its revenues and profitability.

3. Competition: Vetoquinol faces stiff competition from companies in the animal health industry, such as Merck, Zoetis Inc, and Dechra Pharmaceuticals plc. Many of these competitors are larger, have deeper pockets, and can offer lower-price products.

4. Pricing Pressure: Animal health products are very price sensitive, meaning that the prices of Vetoquinol’s products must be competitive or they will risk losing customers to a competing brand.

5. Regulatory Risk: The regulatory framework of the animal health industry is complex, and can subject Vetoquinol to significant regulatory restrictions, particularly with regards to the manufacture, distribution, and sale of its products.
