SAVA Eye Exam: Does your new puppy come from eye tested parents?
Before you buy a puppy, it is important to check your breeder has had their male and female checked for any potential health issues.
Included in the checks should be an eye examination.
The eye exam is carried out by a Veterinary Ophthamologist, who will examine the eyes to check for any hereditary diseases.
Ideally, all dogs should be screened prior to breeding, however there are some breeds that have high instances of these hereditary diseases.
Breeding from untested dogs can result in puppies that have eye issues, some of which can result in life long treatment or even blindness.
