A special thank you to our over 200 board certified veterinary ophthalmologists who participated in the 2011 Service Dog event. You were able to help over 4,000 animals and their care takers; thereby donating over $250,000 in services to this community. We know many of you offer similar services outside of this program, but we thank you for your dedication to this outstanding endeavor.

We will be compiling thank you notes and photographs for display at the annual conference. If any of you would like to share a touching story and/or photos, please email them to our office.

Thank you ACVO Diplomates who participated!
