Medical Equipment & Supplies

Medical equipment and veterinary supplies in support of the captive breeding program are an essential and continual need for the Panda Centers.  To ensure that the pandas have the best possible care, Pandas International works directly with the veterinarians and keepers to determine the most urgent medical needs so that we can purchase the necessary equipment and supplies for the Reserves.  Through the support of our members, Pandas International has been able to provide a wide variety of medical equipment and supplies to the Panda Reserves including:
