Please note that registration for the event closed May 8th. You may direct interested parties to pre-register for notification of future events.

Thank you for your support and participation in the ACVO National Service Dog Eye Exam Day. Over 150 ACVO Diplomates have volunteered to participate in this event. Your combined effort equates to approximately $500,000 worth of services donated by veterinary ophthalmologists to Service Dogs and their health. When the program is completed, we hope to have raised approximately 1.5 Million dollars to help Service Dogs through your donation of time and sponsor dollars.

The ACVO National Service Dog Eye Exam Day will be the single largest public relations and public services effort in the history of veterinary ophthalmology. This event will not only screen the ocular health of thousands ofService Dogs nationally and in Canada, but will also strengthen the veterinarian and specialist referral bond through the use of Pet Health Systems' Pet Wellness Report™. Referring veterinarians are very important to the Service Dog's overall health and their business referral services are invaluable. If you would like to learn about the Pet Wellness Report™ and how it will work into the event, please visit some of the links below.

Thank you for your participation and dedication to this event!
