What Vetamac does

Vetamac is a US-based manufacturer and service provider specializing in veterinary anesthesia, dental, and surgery equipment, headquartered in Rossville, Indiana. The company was founded in 1991 by Harry Latshaw and has grown from a one-person service operation to over 20 employees, serving veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, research institutions, humane societies, and zoological organizations. Its product portfolio includes proprietary anesthesia machines (DREAM, DREAM PLUS, Moduflex Optimax, Moduflex Access 2), ventilators (Moduflex InsPurr), vaporizers, surgical tables (Vet-Tables), dental units (Highdent, distributed from Dispomed), surgical positioning devices (BOSS, BOSS+), gas evacuation systems (VetaVac, VaporGuard), and oxygen concentrators. Notable proprietary technology includes the patented SafeSigh Non-Rebreathing System with a One Touch valve stem designed to prevent improper valve positioning, and a patent-pending BOSS+ device with universal rail clamp system.

Vetamac operates a hybrid business model combining direct hardware sales with a recurring service and maintenance stream. Field service technicians provide on-site equipment sales, installation, training, preventive maintenance, and repair across all major veterinary equipment brands, not only Vetamac-manufactured products. The company complements its direct field-sales channel with a US distributor network and a website-based quote/payment portal, and it offers RACE-approved continuing education seminars as a top- and mid-funnel marketing and customer-acquisition lever. Service offerings include anesthesia machine maintenance, all-brand dental unit service, vaporizer cleaning and recalibration, periodic waste gas monitoring, medical gas installation, and Snyder ICU service, creating a multi-line recurring revenue profile anchored by long-term relationships with enterprise veterinary groups such as VCA, BluePearl, and Rarebreed/PetMedic.

The company is privately held and founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investment, M&A activity, or external funding. Growth is organic and signaled by recent product launches (Moduflex Access 2 and insPurr Smart Update in 2025) and the November 2025 extension of dental maintenance service to all brands, supported by promotional pricing in Q1 2026. Customer relationships are emphasized through 414 years of combined clinical experience on the technical team and compliance-driven maintenance programs meeting AAHA, IACUC, and AALAS standards, with longer warranty terms (7 years on Vetamac anesthesia machines, 5 years on Vet-Tables and dental units) used as a competitive lever.
