Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) examinations are available for breeding and show dogs. The CERF examination is used to screen dogs for inherited (or genetic) eye diseases. Individuals desiring a CERF examination for their pet should arrive at the clinic 20 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment time to allow for completion of the necessary forms and pre-examination application of eye drops.

The AKC, tattoo or microchip numbers are required for completion of the examination forms, so please bring this information with you. The examination itself takes about 10 minutes and includes assessment of the front of the eyes with a slit-lamp biomicroscope and the back of the eyes with an indirect ophthalmoscope. Owners will receive a copy of the examination form which can be mailed to the CERF organization for registration. Annual CERF examinations are required to keep registration current.
