The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO®) developed the annual ACVO/StokesRx National Service Animal Eye Exam event as a national platform to address eye health, which is critical for the safety of the animals and their handlers. Ophthalmologist, Dr. Nathan Kice, has personally provided eye exams through the ACVO’s program for more than 300 Service Animals including Liam in the past nine years at his clinic, Summit Veterinary Referral Center in Tacoma, Washington. Approximately 300 board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists will donate their time and resources to provide free screening exams to qualified dogs, horses, miniature horses, donkeys, alpacas and cats. The organization developed the ACVO/StokesRX National Service Animal Eye Exam Event in 2008, and since its inception, they have provided more than 68,000 free eye exams.

Cheryl Nelson a weather and preparedness advisor for Cummins, manufacturers and distributors of   power generation products has these tips for pet parents everywhere as those winter storms are getting started! Protect their paws from rock salt and ice by applying paw balm (always check with your veterinarian first) before going outside and wiping their paws clean with a warm wet rag after coming back inside. * Winter storms can cause trees and power lines to fall – knocking out power for hours, days, weeks or longer. Consider investing in a home standby generator  that turns on the moment the power goes out and stays on for the duration of the outage, giving you peace of mind and a warm, cozy home.
