Thank You for Helping Us Bring a Mobile Vet Unit to the Zoo

The veterinarians at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute save animals every day. If an animal needs medical attention, the vets provide it with world-class care at the Zoo’s veterinary hospital.

With the new Mobile Vet Unit, vets can bring the hospital to the animals.

The Mobile Vet Unit is the next step in providing excellence in animal health and wellness care. The brand-new vehicle will allow for easy, safe transport of cutting-edge medical equipment, veterinary staff and the Zoo’s animals when necessary.

Your generous support made this possible!
