Heska

Heska was a company that provided advanced diagnostic solutions for the veterinary market. Founded in 1995, it focused on developing and manufacturing in-clinic diagnostic instruments and consumables. Their product line included hematology analyzers, clinical chemistry analyzers, and digital cytology solutions. Heska aimed to empower veterinary professionals with rapid, accurate, and integrated diagnostic tools, allowing for more efficient patient care and treatment decisions within their own practices. The company was headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado.

In 2003, Heska was acquired by Intervet, a global animal health company. The integration of Heska's diagnostic capabilities into Intervet's portfolio was intended to strengthen Intervet's offerings in veterinary diagnostics and clinical pathology. Following the acquisition, Heska's products and technologies were incorporated into Intervet's broader product lines, though the Heska brand name gradually became less prominent as part of the larger organization. The acquisition marked a significant step in the consolidation of veterinary diagnostic services and technology providers within the animal health industry.
