China's pet healthcare industry is entering a new phase of both opportunity and challenge. Chain expansion and independent practice coexist. Competition among leading players intensifies, while smaller hospitals' potential remains untapped. The era of price wars is over — professionalism and trust are the new course.

Independent hospitals relying on basic care and vaccinations should not drift with the tide. The future hinges on: diagnostic technology, professional service, digital transformation, and brand trust. The future rewards the trustworthy, not the cheapest.

The path forward for independent hospitals is becoming clearer: from chasing traffic to building trust, from single services to systematic development, from surviving to thriving.

For this reason, we launch this forum — more than a conference, it is a deep empowerment for independent hospitals.
