Vaccine and biologic refrigeration. For the clinics keeping pets healthy.

Veterinary clinics, animal hospitals, mobile-vet practices with central commissary, and equine and large-animal practices. Vet refrigeration is similar to human pharmacy in technical requirements — narrow setpoints, NIST-traceable monitoring, audit-ready documentation — but the regulatory regime and product economics differ.

01 / Equipment we service

Clinic refrigeration.

Small-animal clinics, multi-doctor animal hospitals, equine practices, exotic and avian practices, and mobile-vet operations with central drug storage.

Vaccine refrigerators (2–8°C)

Pharmacy-grade single-door units storing core and non-core vaccines. Same equipment as human pharmacy; different inventory.

Biologic storage

Diagnostic biologics, blood products, and refrigerated reagents.

Pharmacy refrigeration

Refrigerated meds dispensed from clinic pharmacy operations.

Sample & specimen storage

Refrigerated and frozen sample storage pending lab pickup.

Surgical-suite ice machines

Where surgical suites use ice for post-op cooling, instrument cleaning, or therapy.

Boarding-side reach-ins

For clinics with boarding operations, reach-in food storage for prescription diets.

02 / What's different in veterinary clinics

What makes vet clinics different.

Vet clinics run on tight inventory, narrow margins, and USDA-regulated vaccine cold chains — without the audit cadence of human pharmacy.

USDA vaccine cold chain

Veterinary biologics fall under USDA APHIS rather than CDC. Cold-chain integrity expectations are similar; documentation expectations are less prescriptive but vaccine manufacturers have their own.

Single-fridge dependency

Most clinics have one or two vaccine fridges. A failure isn't a partial loss — it's the whole inventory. Monitoring and same-day response are essential.

Owner-veterinarian decision-makers

Practice owners are usually the buying decision-maker. We quote in plain language, document in plain language, and avoid jargon-heavy proposals.

After-hours boarding emergencies

Clinics with boarding operations need food refrigeration after-hours. We treat boarding-side failures as urgent.

03 / Platform fit

Monitoring + portal.

ColdSentry™ continuous monitoring is the high-value product here — protecting vaccines, biologics, and lab specimens. ArcticOS™ provides the practice-friendly service portal.

ColdSentry™Monitoring

Vaccine fridge continuous monitoring

NIST-traceable probes, 5-minute logging, excursion alarms to phone and email. Documentation-ready exports for vaccine-manufacturer compliance and practice records.

ArcticOS™Portal

Practice-friendly service portal

Open work orders, dispatch ETA, equipment registry, monitoring dashboards, and invoices — one login, simple enough for a practice manager to operate without IT support.

04 / Engagement

How we work with veterinary clinics

Per-clinic service contract

Twice-yearly PM, calibration check, and demand-service dispatch. Standard structure for single-location clinics.

Monitoring-first program

ColdSentry™ on the vaccine fridge as the entry product, with service available on demand. Many clinics start here.

Multi-clinic operators

For practice groups with multiple locations, master service agreement with rolled-up monitoring dashboards by region.
