Our Story

ArteMedics is a Twin Cities-based animal health company dedicated to supporting pet owners and veterinarians. Our company's name, ArteMedics, originates from Artemis, the Greek goddess of the wilderness and wild animals. In 2015, we began delivering quality medical devices and custom implant services. We diligently stay up-to-date on trends in the veterinary and human medical device fields so that we can offer the latest and most effective treatments for companion animals. 

The founders, Ben Arcand and Emily Meyering, worked together at a medical device company for several years. They commonly shared stories about their pets over local craft beers and contemplated their venture into veterinary medical devices. With Emily's experience directing preclinical studies, Ben's engineering expertise, and the help of close friends for intellectual property and agreement legal expertise, it was obvious that the right chemistry was in place. The team met with veterinarians and veterinary surgeons across the country to learn about the market and some of the challenges vets commonly encounter when trying to treat pets in need of complex therapies.
