At Melbourne EyeVet, we are serious about helping breeders to produce healthy pedigree dogs. Our specialists are authorised ACES examiners which means we can perform ACES eye certificates. ACES certificates should be performed every 12 months on breeding dogs. We also offer DNA testing where required. Melbourne EyeVet is keen to hear from breed clubs that are interested in organising a breed day. These breed days are a great way for breeders to get a number of dogs tested at once, and we charge a discounted rate at these events. Breed days can be held at our clinic or we are happy to visit a clubhouse or dog show. |
