BRIEF EVENT DESCRIPTION
The ACVO National Service Dog Eye Exam event is a philanthropic effort generously provided to the Service Dog public by the board certified veterinary ophthalmologists of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists.
If your Service Dog qualifies, it would receive a complimentary eye screening exam in May to help identify any problems that may affect the dog's sight.
Our veterinary ophthalmologists sincerely care about your animals and want to give back to a community of dogs who serve us all. Over 4,000 dogs took advantage of this program in 2011.
