Veterinary and Animal Services

The veterinary and animal-services industry is the health-care sector Congress never separated from the rest of medicine when it wrote the Suspension Clause, and the governmental orders of 2020 and 2021 did not separate it either.

In plain terms: if you ran a veterinary practice, an animal hospital, a boarding kennel or daycare, a grooming salon, a training school or an animal shelter between March 2020 and September 2021, the government told you, under penalty, which procedures you could perform, where your customers had to wait, what to do with your masks and anesthesia machines, whether your groomers could open, and how you could lawfully examine an animal and prescribe. Six States suspended elective veterinary work in the spring of 2020, and three kept every elective procedure under written conditions for more than a year afterward. At least fourteen States closed pet grooming as a personal service. Michigan ordered every veterinary facility to postpone non-essential services and to practice by telemedicine "to the fullest extent possible." Pennsylvania, Kansas, California and Delaware required a face covering of every person who entered a "veterinary clinic" by name. Oregon restored a "Veterinary Clinics" appendix to its workplace rule on August 13, 2021.

The orders reached all eleven functions of the business, from the surgical suite to the boarding run, the grooming table, the pharmacy, the supply closet, the front desk, the workforce and the customers who bring the animals in. This page sets them out by layer, quarter and function, with instrument numbers, dates and exhibit links, and answers from the public record the fourteen sentences the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") uses in its letters. Four terms recur: the "Suspension Clause" (CARES Act § 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I) and I.R.C. § 3134(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I)), the "Notice" (Notice 2021-20), the "United States" (the Government as a litigant) and the "Library" (this site's Orders Library; "Ex. SEC-26-009" is an exhibit). The quarter the Service's letters most often dispute is the third quarter of 2021, and the record answers it.

Partial suspension, element by element

Every analysis on this site asks the same five questions in the same order. Here they are asked of Veterinary and Animal Services, from the industry's own record.

The order: issuer, instrument, date, exhibit.The Library holds 9 instruments from this industry's own regulators and sector authorities and 38 organizer notices. The earliest is American Veterinary Medical Association, AVMA statement, Veterinary practices are 'essential businesses' (Mar. 17, 2020; web page as captured May 1, 2020) (Ex. SEC-26-008). The fifty-State regime table below names the State orders that reached its premises, State by State, each with its exhibit; the federal layer and the standing duties sit behind them on every day of the six quarters.
The function of the business it reached.The orders named the functions of the business in terms. Three of this industry's 10 function codes: CLclinical and surgical servicesEMemergency and urgent careBDboarding and daycare. The full key follows this panel, and Function by function reads the orders against each code.
The change it compelled: the operative words.The operative words of AVMA statement, Veterinary practices are 'essential businesses' (Mar. 17, 2020; web page as captured May 1, 2020) (Ex. SEC-26-008): “In some localities, such as San Francisco, and states, like Maryland and Pennsylvania, veterinary practices are appropriately considered 'essential businesses.'... We urge all authorities to similarly designate veterinary practices as essential businesses, and also ensure their ability to obtai[n…” Each record page quotes the operative words in full, with the enforcement provision beside them.
The quarter: in force on which days.Every instrument carries the quarters it was in force. This industry's record runs across all six: 2020 Q217 2020 Q310 2020 Q46 2021 Q14 2021 Q23 2021 Q37 (the count is this industry's own instruments carrying the quarter). The six quarters sets out what was in force in each, and the third quarter of 2021 is listed instrument by instrument below.
The statute's answer.A partial suspension is a temporary delay, interruption or termination of a portion of the business's operations; the order need only be the but-for cause of it; and nothing in the Suspension Clause asks whether the business was essential, stayed open, could telework or served customers who were themselves under orders (Tri-State Memorial Hospital v. United States). The test and the method are stated once, for every industry, at Partial suspension, element by element.

The same five steps run through the report the site builds for your own State, metro and quarters.

Function codes

The analysis describes the business as ten functions, each with a two-letter code that every page of this set uses without variation. An order “reached” a function when its operative words told the business what that part of it could do, when, where, for how many and on what conditions.

Code	Function of the business
CL	clinical and surgical services (elective-procedure suspensions; recommencement conditions)
EM	emergency and urgent care
BD	boarding and daycare
GR	grooming and training
RT	retail and pharmacy (food, medications, controlled substances)
SC	PPE and pharmaceutical supply
HR	hiring, credentialing and State board licensure
OP	office, administration and telework
WF	workforce availability (schools, child care, quarantine, vaccination status)
