This holiday season, help us purchase a CT scanner for animal dental careWe’re raising funds for a specialized CT scanner to improve our animals' dental health. This vital equipment will enable detailed dental X-rays during routine health checks, helping us: • Detect dental issues early |

Just like humans, animals need proper dental care to maintain their health and quality of life. Zoo New England has long been at the forefront of animal health management, recognizing that dental care is crucial for overall animal wellness.
Since 2014, we've partnered with Steven D. Spitz, DMD, a dentist with an animal science background, to provide specialized dental care for our animals. Dr. Spitz, who serves on Zoo New England's Advisory Board, helped establish the Oral Health Care Among Species Program, bringing expert dental care to our diverse animal family.
Our Dental Health Program has successfully treated numerous animals, including:
• Cotton-top tamarin
• Gorilla
• Hyena
• Jaguar
• Painted dog
• Potto
Through our program, we've been able to:
• Treat emergency dental issues
• Provide preventative care
• Improve animal quality of life
• Share knowledge with other zoos
• Advance animal dental medicine
Your donation helps us provide continued exceptional dental care to our animals while expanding our capabilities with new technology. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal of a dedicated CT scanner for dental X-rays.
