Dr. Oliver grew up in Paisley, Ontario in a “vet” family, as both his parents attended the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC). After obtaining a degree at the Ontario Agricultural College in Environmental Biology, he graduated with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from OVC in 1984. His first years were spent working in veterinary practices in Embro and New Hamburg before moving to Lindsay and the Kawartha Animal Hospital. Dr. Oliver has a special interest in homeopathy and is a graduate of the Canadian Professional Course in Veterinary Homeopathy.
Dr. Rick particularly enjoys seeing the bond between pets and their people, and helping to make it last as long as possible. He is very proud of our hospital and the services that we provide.
Dr. Rick lives in Dunsford with his wife, Sherry. Their current live-in furry family members include Lilee, a rescued Shepherd/Husky mix, from the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes, Finnegan, a red and white Irish Setter, Pumpkin, a dark orange tabby who just showed up one day and their newest cat, Winston. He also enjoys snuggles with two miniature donkeys, Leroy and Jolene. They are the cutest backyard pets.
