Dr. Bonnie Oliphant comes to ASG from Alberta, Canada, where she was born and raised. She attended the University of Calgary and received her Bachelor of Science in Zoology. From there, Dr. Oliphant graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada in 2011. She complemented her academic endeavors with a rotating small animal internship at the Veterinary Emergency Clinic and Referral Centre in Toronto, Canada from 2011-2012, and a Neurology Specialty Internship at Bush Veterinary Neurology Service in Leesburg, VA from 2012-2013. Dr. Oliphant also completed her residency at the University of Wisconsin in 2016.

Her previous travels to Ghana and Mongolia has fueled her passion for international travel and veterinary medicine abroad, alongside her other veterinary interests of intervertebral disc disease and seizures. Dr. Oliphant is also an advocate for wildlife conservation and rehabilitation, which blossomed from her experience working at a wildlife trauma hospital before and during veterinary school.

Although she currently doesn't have any pets, Dr. Oliphant spends her free time reading and exploring her new home of Southern California.
