One cart, one circuit, everything a small animal case needs.

The Mallard 2200B is our all-in-one small animal anesthesia and ventilation system — a complete anesthesia machine with our 2400V ventilator built in, on one mobile cart. Ascending bellows you can monitor at a glance, simple physical controls, and it runs at about 61 dB.

Need MRI? An all-pneumatic version (no electronics, no ferrous metals, tested at 3 Tesla) goes right into the suite with your patient.

Hand-built in Redding, California, with lifetime support. Learn more at mallardmedical.com

This operating room is 5,000 miles from our shop. The machine in it? Built by us.

Our friends and partners at in Warsaw, Poland shared this photo from a recent equine surgery — that's a Mallard 2800C keeping the patient breathing steady in the background.

People are sometimes surprised to hear Mallard equipment is working far beyond the U.S. But veterinary teams around the world face the same challenge we build for every day: safely anesthetizing and ventilating patients, whether it's a 2 kg cat or a 500 kg horse.

Seeing our machines trusted in surgical suites from here at home to Warsaw and beyond — that never gets old.

To the team at Trelavets: thank you for the work you do, and for letting us be a small part of it.

Where in the world have you spotted a Mallard machine? We'd love to hear.

A 1,200-pound patient can't tell you it's struggling to breathe. 🐴

Once a horse is under anesthesia and recumbent, its own body weight compresses the lungs — making proper ventilation one of the biggest challenges in equine surgery.

That's why large-animal ventilators aren't just scaled-up small-animal machines. They're built for tidal volumes measured in liters and procedures that can't afford a missed breath.

Behind every safe equine anesthesia case: a skilled team and equipment built for the job.

This Mallard 2800C is 25 years old. It's still doing surgeries.

The video below comes from Crossroads Veterinary Clinic in Anderson, California, where this 2800C has been part of the surgical suite for a quarter century — and it's still on the job.

Behind it is Dr. Kelly Shaw, a surgeon whose training spans two continents: veterinary school at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, internships in equine surgery and medicine at North Carolina State University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and a large animal surgical residency at UW–Madison.

When someone with that résumé is running cases on a machine we built in the last century, it means the thing we care about most — building equipment that outlasts trends, budgets, and even careers — is working.

We don't design machines to be replaced. We design them to keep showing up, case after case, year after year.

The year was 1997. Our patient was a 400-pound lioness.

The San Diego Wild Animal Park had just bought a Mallard Model 2800B and invited our founder Bob Pearson down to in-service the ventilator — on a live lion.

They darted her, carried her in, and Bob intubated her (a skill he first learned as a Navy Medical Corpsman). The team ran a full physical, dental work, and claw care while the 2800B held her steady.

When it was over, they moved her to a recovery cage. Minutes later she roared so loudly it scared the daylights out of Bob. The staff just smiled — "She's recovering nicely."

Nearly 30 years later, the Model 2800C still does this work in zoos and aquariums worldwide.

Some patients you never forget. 🦁

Every life-saving machine we ship starts at a workbench — and at one of ours, you'll find Dan Reed.

Dan is a Master Machinist and one of the quiet backbones of Mallard Medical. The kind of craftsman who measures twice, cuts once, and somehow makes precision look easy. The parts he shapes end up inside anesthesia machines and ventilators caring for everything from house cats to thousand-pound horses.

This week, with the 4th of July around the corner, it feels like the right time to say it out loud: Mallard equipment is built here, by hand, by people like Dan. American craftsmanship isn't a slogan for us — it's a guy at a machine, getting every thousandth of an inch right because a patient on the other end is counting on it.

So before the long weekend kicks off, thank you, Dan. And thank you to every maker out there who takes pride in building things that matter. 🇺🇸

Someone who builds the machines and supports the customers who use them.

Meet Demitrius Thompson — Mallard Medical's newest team member.

Demitrius joins us in a role that sits at the heart of everything we do: manufacturing and building Mallard machines on the production floor, and supporting the customers who depend on them every day. It's a rare combination — someone who understands how a machine is built and genuinely cares about the person on the other end of the phone.

That combination matters more than most people realize. When a customer calls with a question about their anesthesia equipment, the difference between a good answer and a great one is often whether the person helping them has actually worked with the machine. Demitrius will have that experience from day one.

What stood out to us immediately was his drive to keep learning. In this industry, equipment evolves, protocols change, and the cases our customers are managing never stop being complex. Someone who's hungry to understand more — not just enough — is exactly who we want standing behind our products.

Welcome to the team, Demitrius. We're glad you're here.

If you're in the veterinary anesthesia world and ever need support, you just might hear from him.

If you've ever called us with a question, Doug was probably the one who answered — and knew the answer before you finished asking. 🙌
