🐾✨ Eyes on Service: Annual Eye Screening Event Highlights ✨🐾

Each May, veterinary ophthalmologists across the country donate their time and expertise as part of the ACVO/Epicur Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening (ACVO-SAVES) — a nationwide program offering free, comprehensive eye exams to qualified service and working animals. 👁️💙

Last week, we had the honor of working with Dr. Whitney Young, who provided eye exams for 42 dogs from Eyes Ears Nose and Paws a Chapel Hill–based nonprofit. This remarkable organization trains and places Mobility Assistance and Medical Alert Dogs, and provides lifelong support for their working teams.

These screenings help ensure the long-term health and vision of the animals who give so much — guiding, protecting, and supporting the people who rely on them every day.

Thank you to Dr. Young, Eyes Ears Nose and Paws, and all the hardworking service dogs who brighten the world with their dedication. 🐕‍🦺💛
