VSI has been at the forefront of veterinary simulation, creating high-fidelity animal simulators that support veterinary education and training. Today, VSI simulators are used in 55 countries and over 160 leading educational institutions worldwide. Designed in collaboration with veterinary educators and expert fabricators, VSI’s simulators provide lifelike, durable, and functionally precise training solutions.
By reducing reliance on live teaching animals, VSI simulators help institutions optimize training resources while aligning with modern ethical and educational standards. VSI simulators allow veterinary students and professionals to develop essential skills in a controlled, repeatable, and safe environment before working with live animals.
Veterinary Simulator Industries Ltd. (VSI) was founded in 2010 in Calgary, Canada, with the vision of transforming veterinary education through innovative simulation. Recognizing the need for ethical, hands-on training tools, the founders set out to create high-fidelity animal simulators that allow students to practice essential clinical and surgical skills without the use of live animals. Since then, VSI has become a trusted name in veterinary training, supporting educators and institutions worldwide with realistic, durable models designed to improve proficiency and confidence in veterinary care.
Since 2024, VSI is a 3B Scientific company. The integration of Veterinary Simulator Industries into 3B Scientific marks an exciting step in our commitment to advancing medical and veterinary education. With a shared dedication to innovation, quality, and education, VSI simulators will continue to set new standards in veterinary training worldwide.
