Veterinary diagnostics is a specialised corner of the life sciences world, and Heska Corporation has built its entire identity around it. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, the company focuses exclusively on advanced veterinary diagnostic and speciality products, serving companion animal and equine practices across more than 35 countries.
Heska's core offering centres on point-of-care diagnostics for veterinary clinics, including haematology, chemistry, urinalysis, immunoassay, and digital radiography systems. Its subscription-based model, built around the Element platform family, gives practices predictable access to instruments and consumables, a commercial structure that has become a defining feature of the business.
The company has pursued an acquisition strategy to broaden its portfolio. Its purchase of scil animal care in 2021 significantly extended its European presence and laboratory distribution capabilities, accelerating international growth beyond its North American base. Heska trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker HSKA and has positioned itself as a pure-play veterinary diagnostics provider in a consolidating market.
