What is an Eye Certificate?
An eye certificate is an official document confirming a dog's eye health. It is issued after an eye examination by a veterinary ophthalmologist and helps identify hereditary conditions such as cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).
Why is an Eye Certificate Important?
Eye screening ensures that inherited eye conditions are not passed to future generations. Responsible breeders use these tests to maintain good vision and overall eye health in dogs.
How to Obtain an Eye Certificate
A certified veterinary ophthalmologist conducts the examination. If no hereditary eye issues are detected, the dog receives a certificate, usually valid for 12 months.
