About Us
Veterinary Simulator Industries creates high-fidelity animal simulators that allow veterinary students to become proficient in their diagnostic and practical skills without the need to endanger or cause unnecessary discomfort to live animals.
Our simulators are designed with a unique partnership between professional designer/fabricators and veterinary educators to create teaching tools that are realistic in appearance, highly functional, utilize durable materials and meet the needs of veterinary students and teachers.
Our simulators save veterinary educators time and money by limiting the number of teaching animals that an institution needs to keep and maintain. Simulators contribute to creating testing standards for various procedures and allow students to practice those procedures on their own time, thereby increasing their proficiency.
Regulatory bodies, as well as educational institutions, are creating guidelines for performing invasive procedures on healthy live animals in teaching. These new restrictions could potentially limit training time and access to live animals for students.
All VSI products are designed, crafted and manufactured in Canada.
