Professional Wildlife Capture and Handling by Wildlife Veterinarians.

We strive to provide quality veterinary care for all wildlife living in the United States and abroad, captive and free ranging.

This includes Bison herds and wild Mustangs when indicated. We are an advocate for the well-being of all God’s creatures. We work to protect, capture and treat any wild creatures in need of our services. Capture may include net gunning, dart rifle, blow gun, or other carefully selected safe means.

We help plan and guide animal health programs to propagate wild creatures when needed, especially for endangered or threatened species. We seek to replace wild animals back into their previous natural environments and habitats, including supporting relocations and captive breeding programs.

Our highest goal is to assist public agencies and private owners in the health, maintenance or treatment of NON domestic animals that are difficult or dangerous to capture or handle.

This includes both State and Federal agencies and especially Native American Tribal governments. We strive to accomplish this by making safety, for people and especially for our animal patients, the highest priority while maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards — respecting the animals we care for and those who care for them.

"In the fifty years since I received my doctorate, I have only met one veterinarian who was truly knowledgeable in wildlife biology, and that individual is Dr. Donny MacDougall.
In his 40 years of practice, he has continuously expanded his expertise beyond the "normal" cats/dogs and equines to encompass all aspects of wildlife biology and medicine. I can think of no more qualified individual than Dr. MacDougall for the position of wildlife veterinarian in your Department. I recommend him without reservations."
