Notes

This information has been taken directly from the International Zoo Veterinary Group (IZVG) website.

The International Zoo Veterinary Group (IZVG) was founded by the association of two veterinary practices which were involved in full-time freelance zoo animal medicine. One associate practice, Dinnes Memorial Veterinary Hospital, is based in California and works mainly in the United States and the Far East; the other, Taylor, Greenwood, Lewis and Thornton is based in Britain and works mainly in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. This website relates to the activities of the UK part of the organisation.

The group works in all parts of the world on projects concerned with the maintenance of animals in zoos, parks and marinelands, covering the full spectrum of wild, rare and endangered species. Drs. Greenwood and Lewis are recognised as Specialists in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and Drs. Taylor, Greenwood, Lewis and Thornton are UK government-appointed Zoo Inspectors.

In recent years, we have become increasingly involved in providing veterinary support for species conservation projects in developing countries, including Nigeria, Cameroon, Paraguay, Mauritius, Russia, Indonesia and the Caribbean Islands.
