Dr. Merle Olson, Founder, Vice President of Research and Development
BVR Veterinary Supplies Ltd. is a veterinary clinic or a veterinary practice entity (VPE) licensed by the Alberta Veterinary Medical Association (ABVMA) whose sole purpose is to prepare veterinary pharmaceuticals required by other veterinary clinics.
The veterinarian in charge of BVR Veterinary Supplies Ltd. is Dr. Merle Olson, and the VPE clinic is located in Calgary, Alberta.
Why a veterinary clinic with the purpose of preparing pharmaceuticals for other veterinary clinics?
Many veterinarians across Canada have contacted Dr. Olson for products that have been discontinued by animal health companies. In addition, veterinarians requested specialized products necessary for the operation of a veterinary clinic.
They also contacted their respective veterinary associations, and in Dr. Olson's case, the ABVMA. Thanks to the forward-thinking vision of the ABVMA and Dr. Olson's determination to find solutions to veterinarians' problems, the idea of a veterinary clinic that could prepare pharmaceuticals for other veterinary clinics was born. BVR Veterinary Supplies Ltd. primarily focuses on veterinary practices related to large animals.
Dr. Olson holds a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a master's degree in chemistry. He has 20 years of research experience at the University of Calgary, over 200 scientific publications, 45 filed patents, and more than 15 years of experience manufacturing quality veterinary products in compliance with Health Canada regulations.
