PERMANENT IDENTIFICATION FOR CHS CERTIFICATION

As from 1st January 2010, Canine Health Scheme (CHS) certificates will only be issued if your dog has been permanently identified (microchip or tattoo). The permanent identification will be verified before the eye examination takes place. So from this date identification and registration documents are both required for CHS certification.

** The examination charges at the sessions on the "List of eye testing sessions" page will generally be at the "Group testing (25 or more)" rate. Some clubs/societies may be able to subsidise this cost, but others may need to charge a little extra to cover miscellaneous expenses e.g. venue hire.

Examinations at the "Eye panellists' clinic sessions" may incur the higher charge. When you make your appointment, please check how much the examination will cost.
