****INVITATION FOR SERVICE DOGS****
FREE EYE EXAM & PET WELLNESS REPORT
AMERICAN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGISTS WEEK OF MAY 12, 2008
The ACVO would like to invite primary care veterinarians' clients who work with
or own Service Dogs to attend the ACVO's National Service Dog Eye Exam Day, May
12th, 2008. For absolutely no fee, guide dogs, handicapped assistance dogs,
detection dogs, and search and rescue dogs may participate. Your clients'
Service Dogs will receive a free complete eye exam to screen for ocular health
at one of 180 board certified veterinary ophthalmologists
in the US and some areas in Canada. In addition to the eye exam they will
receive a Pet Wellness Report (preventative health diagnosis) and blood panel
through you, their primary care veterinarian, sponsored by Pet Health Systems.
It would benefit Service Dogs if their primary care veterinarians invited their
clients to register at www.ACVOeyeexam.org after April 1st. They will be
directed to complete the general information on the form which will be supplied
to their veterinary ophthalmologist, then contact the participating clinic
nearest them to schedule an appointment. Most clinics will be participating on
May 12th, others may have additional days designated for
the program.
Veterinarians and their clients may learn more by visiting
www.ACVOeyeexam.org . We look
forward to serving the Service Dog community, to repay these animals for
their dedication. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
