| REGISTRATION & LIST OF PARTICIPATING OPHTHALMOLOGISTS |
The ACVO is proud to inform you that over 170 of our Diplomates have chosen to participate in this program. Once again, participating Diplomates will be providing the eye screening exam at no cost to Service Dogs who qualify (view qualifications). The dates and times of each clinic's participation may vary, you will need to contact the specific clinic you wish to visit below to determine the proper date and time of your appointment. |

| |
| THE FOLLOWING STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED TO PARTICIPATE |
| |
| Step 1: In order to receive the free eye examination you must register for this event. A confirmation and registration number will be sent to your e-mail address. Your information will be collected and provided to the ophthalmologist you will be seeing. If you do not register, you cannot participate in the event. |
| |
| Step 2: Once you have registered, the web site will push you through to a page that will allow you to search by state to locate a clinic near you. (Clinics may not be available in every state.) Cities/States with available clinics will be listed here for a preview. |
| |
| Step 3: After locating the clinic you would like to visit, call their office directly, identify yourself as participating in the ACVO Service Dog event and make an appointment. Dates and times that this program is offered may vary from clinic to clinic throughout the month of May. We suggest you register early in April to ensure a better chance of securing an appointment at your preferred clinic. Those who wait until May to register may find it difficult to find a clinic with open slots. |
|
| Step 4: Visit the ophthalmologist at the appointed time. Please call ahead if you will be late or have to cancel your appointment. |
|
| Step 5: After your Service Dog's eye examination is complete, your veterinary ophthalmologist will provide you with a copy of your examination form and information. Please take this back to your primary care veterinarian to complete your medical records upon your next appointment. Your veterinarian ian an integral part of the team needed to keep your Service Dog health. |
|
| Most importantly, you MUST pre-register prior to calling to make your appointment with the veterinary ophthalmologist. |
