|History=The Ontario Veterinary College is the oldest veterinary school in North America. It was established in Toronto in 1862, by the Scotsman Andrew Smith- a graduate of the Royal School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh. The college later moved to Guelph, Ontario in 1922 and became a founding college of the University of Guelph in 1964. Since then, the OVC has grown with the University of Guelph and remains a premier institution of Veterinary Medicine.

|Research=The Ontario Veterinary College conducts and facilitates world class research in various aspects of Veterinary Medicine, from agri-food and health management, to equine, companion animal and even environmental health. There are well developed facilities for animal based research studies in addition to conventional bench top based research capacity. These include a 12,000 sq. ft Laboratory for Translational Biomedical Discovery. Intensive Care and Surgical facilities in combination with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and spectroscopy facilities are also available. A large focus of the Ontario Veterinary College involving these facilities is the development of large animal models in the investigation of human disease.

The OVC also boasts the Institute for Comparative Cancer Investigation (ICCI), which is dedicated to providing comprehensive cancer care for companion animals and unlocking the deadly secrets of the disease for the benefit of all species, including humans. The ICCI takes an integrated approach to cancer studies that cannot be matched in a human health care environment. It entails collaborative research of more than 30 cancer investigators from at least a dozen departments across the University of Guelph: cancer biologists, veterinarians, chemists, mathematicians, computer scientists, toxicologists, psychologists and others who represent Guelph’s unique capacity to broaden the scope of research and deepen our understanding of cancer.

There are a large number of agri-food and health management projects underway at present. This research is supported by the OMAFRA contract and many external groups, like the Ontario Cattleman’s Association, Poultry Industry Council, the NSERC Industrial Partnership Program, pharmaceutical companies and many more. Food safety research is an area that the OVC is primarily focused on as well. Another ever expanding field of research at the OVC is non-foodborne zoonoses, as well as International ecosystem health projects being carried out in Nepal and the Western Amazon lowlands. Public Health has long been at the core of the OVC, leading to the establishment of the Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses on campus.
