Vet Gadgets was founded in 2010 with a simple but important mission: to make routine veterinary procedures safer for both veterinarians and their patients. Our focus is on developing innovative, less invasive technologies that improve care and reduce risk in the field of veterinary medicine.

The idea behind our first product came from Dr. Ryan Lee, an equine veterinarian who witnessed firsthand the dangers of placing nasogastric tubes in horses. Over the years, he saw friends and colleagues injured—sometimes even hospitalized—while performing this common procedure. Beyond the risks to veterinarians, the process often created uncomfortable situations for clients, who would watch as foul-smelling fluids were drained and equipment was handled in ways that seemed unsanitary or unsettling. Dr. Lee knew there had to be a better way.

With determination and creativity, he built the earliest version of the device using basic materials. Though primitive, it worked so well that he immediately began refining the design. With the help of friends, draftsmen, and countless prototypes, that original idea evolved into today’s patented technology: a practical, effective solution that is now available to veterinarians everywhere.

At Vet Gadgets, innovation starts with real-world challenges faced by practitioners. While we currently offer a single product, several more are in development, each guided by the same founding principle—safer, smarter tools for veterinarians and the animals they care for.
