DOES YOUR SERVICE ANIMAL QUALIFY?

Before reviewing expectations, please check qualifications.

 
HOW WILL THIS WORK? WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED?

Before you register for the next event, you would be able to check for participating doctors on this page.

Owners/agents for the animal will register the animal via an online registration form. Once registered, the owner/agent will be given a link to participating ophthalmologists in their area. After registering, the owner/agent will need to contact the participating ophthalmologist to schedule an appointment and provide the registration number to the clinic. The confirmation number will be provided in the instant confirmation window in addition to an email confirmation which will be sent to the email address provided. Please note that you do not have an appointment set until you contact the doctor's office directly. More instructions for this process is included on registration page below.

 
APPOINTMENT DATES AND TIMES...
Appointment dates and times may vary based on the availability of exams offered by each office. The clinic offices may offer exams for set days, for select times during specific days, or during times of their choice throughout the month of May. Please identify yourself as participating in the 'ACVO Service Dog program' and provide your registration number from your confirmation to ensure you will receive the complimentary exam and are booked appropriately. Some clinics may require that you also bring proof of Service or Therapy Dog formal training. Be sure to check with your clinic ahead of time to be sure.
 
DURING THE APPOINTMENT...

Once the owner/agent has registered the animal they are asked to respect the ophthalmologist's time and show up when scheduled for the appointment. During the examination an eye health screening will be conducted on each animal.

The complimentary eye exam through your veterinary ophthalmologist is of a screening nature. Should more services be needed or desired, you may discuss your options with the specialist. It is expected that the majority of animals will be healthy and will not be in need of additional services. But should such a need arise, your veterinary ophthalmologist is the expert that can discuss the condition, present options and best treat your animal.

What happens during the eye examination?

Data collected on each animal will remain private and be utilized for research purposes only.
