July 2026 release

This first monthly release of the VetWarehouses Risk Monitor covers 6,091 facilities in the July 9 reviewed snapshot across 53 states and territories. In the EPA view, 36 states had enough reviewed facilities to be rated this month; the highest readings — severity-weighted points per reviewed facility, where more serious and more recent records count for more — came from New Jersey (13.52), Washington (10.86) and Kentucky (10.46). The OSHA view rated 38 states, led by Maryland at 0.83. In 24 of those 38 states, at least half the points trace to a single facility, so those readings say more about one site than about a market.

Two cautions apply to every number here. These figures describe the facilities we have reviewed, not every warehouse in a state, and coverage runs deeper in some states than others. A state showing no matched records is reporting the result of our review, not a statement that nothing happened. States with fewer than 30 reviewed facilities are reported but not rated. Because this is the first release, month-over-month movement begins with the next edition. The full methodology, along with every underlying facility record and its official source, is published alongside the data.
