ACVO/Merial Service Dog Eye Exam Event Public Service Announcement Video

A special thank you to our over 180 board certified veterinary ophthalmologists who participated in the 2010 Service Dog event. You were able to help over 3,200 animals and their care takers; thereby donating over $200,000 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.
