Animal Health Care Projects

One of our top priorities at the Calgary Zoo is to ensure that all of our animals receive the best medical attention available. In order to attain the highest level of medical expertise, we constantly require new equipment and training for our staff.

Veterinary Equipment - An ultrasound system would allow us to do examinations on the smallest lizards, and the biggest elephants!

Train the Trainer - To keep up with the newest developments in enrichment and training, we need to send staff to conferences and professional schools, or invite consultants here.  The average conference costs $2,500, professional school costs $4,000, and consultant's costs can vary from $2,000 to $5,000.  Education is considered by many zoos to be the best investment for changes.
