PRESS KIT FOR MEDIA AFFILIATES

Results of the 2011 event are preliminary but fantastic. Our veterinary ophthalmologists donated over $250,000 in free services to the Service Dog community. We are happy to report that over 4,000 dogs were treated during this event. A wrap-up press release will be available soon. ACVO encourages local media affiliates to contact and interview participating boarded ophthalmologists when possible.

You will find a press kit below, providing general information about the event and who will benefit from it. Several Public Service Announcements are available for your use.

If you decide to publish a story about the ACVO National Service Dog Eye Exam Day, please send a copy or clip to ACVO when possible.
