Hip and eye tests for breeding dogs. Where?

I checked with my vet. They don't do the eye tests. Just the hips were $350 a dog. Eye test online was about $100. Does anyone know a vet in the DFW area that charges less?

A certified canine opthomologist has to do the eyes.

I had mine done at the "Animal Eye Clinic" in Ft. Worth. I'm almost positive it was less than $100.

I had OFA x-rays done at my local vet for around $200 for both hips and elbows here in Abilene.

The best in the business for hips and elbows is Dr. Ed Aycock located in Lewisville.

What did the $350 include? sedation, OFA fees, and films? I've done a few OFA films. They can be a pain and usually require multiple attempts to get it right. OFA films are usually charged at a higher rate because there is more time involved in doing the films, paperwork and submission vs a film to look at a problem in house.

There are a few ophthalmologists in DFW. No idea what they charge for the certification. I sent a few to Dallas veterinary specialists in the past.

Yes sir all that was included. Thanks for the reply.

Animal Eye Specialists in Richardson can do the CERF on eyes. See Dr. Beaumont.

They are also a great resource to have for eye related injuries, blocked tear ducts, etc...

I agree with Bradybuck. Dr. Aycock at Lewisville North Animal Clinic for hips and elbows. He knows gun dogs!

Dr. Aycock will do the films without sedating which I prefer.

Thanks. I may give him a call tomorrow if I get time. I have to wait until February to do it. Female will be 2 then. Male is 4 in May.

Ed is semi retired these days. Be sure to schedule him to do the prints.

Thanks. I called yesterday and set it up for February.
