Heska is a veterinary diagnostics company that makes in-clinic point-of-care lab analyzers and imaging for veterinary practices - chemistry (Element DC/DCX/RC/RCX), hematology (Element HT5), blood gas and electrolytes (Element POC), immunodiagnostics (Element i), coagulation (Element COAG), and AI-guided urine/fecal/blood-morphology testing (Element AIM) - plus the HeskaView Connect lab data and workflow software. Heska was acquired by Antech Diagnostics, a subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated (Mars Petcare / Mars Science & Diagnostics), in 2023, and now operates as an Antech company. Heska exposes a partner-gated integration API that bidirectionally connects its analyzers to veterinary practice information management systems (PIMS/EMR) - orders flow out to the analyzers and results flow back into the patient record - but there is no public, self-service developer portal, published API reference, OpenAPI, or public pricing. Access is provisioned to approved integration partners (ezyVet, Instinct, Vetspire, NectarVet, Digitail, and others) via API Partner credentials.
