What is K9 EyeScan ?

K9 EyeScan is the first of its kind, noninvasive, express canine health evaluation system. This fully automated service performs sophisticated analyses of digital images of canine eyes, detects specific characteristics and produces a statistically based evaluation of possible health problems. K9 EyeScan is designed to help you reduce the costs and improve the overall quality of healthcare for your pet by identifying possible existing or developing canine health issues.

How does K9 EyeScan work?

K9 EyeScan uses a specially designed digital camera and highly advanced computer programs to look for specific characteristics in the images of canine eyes and then compares the readings to statistical norms, producing a K9 EyeScan Evaluation Report (“Report”). The Report identifies variances between statistical norms and specific readings obtained from your pet and shows them as one of five (5) levels ranging from “Normal” – meaning no deviations from norms- to “High” – meaning large deviations from norms. The probability of your pet having a health issue is proportional to the degree of deviation from statistical norms.

How long does it take?

The scan is convenient, fast, and most importantly – completely painless. A typical scan takes 4 to 6 minutes. Once the scan is completed, the computers take over and your pet is free to enjoy your company again.

What do I get?

A printed K9 EyeScan Evaluation report is provided to you at the time of service. Additionally, if you so choose, your pet’s Report can be automatically sent to a veterinarian registered with K9 EyeScan. If your veterinarian of choice is not registered with K9 EyeScan, simple instructions explaining how to retrieve the K9 EyeScan Evaluation report at no additional charge from our web site are provided. We are not affiliated with any veterinary clinics.

What does K9 EyeScan Evaluation report tell me?

The Report identifies variances between statistical norms and the specific readings obtained from your pet and shows them as one of five (5) levels ranging from “Normal” – meaning no deviations from norms, to “High” – meaning large deviations from norms. The probability of your pet having a health issue is proportional to the degree of deviation from norms among one or more anatomical systems. Since the analyses are based on statistics, only a licensed veterinarian can provide a true diagnosis, determine whether or not treatment is required, and/or proscribe any medication.

It is important that you not make medical decisions for your pet without first consulting a licensed veterinarian. You should never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking such advice because of something you have read on our website, heard from our employees, officers, partners, affiliates, or read in the Report. IF YOUR PET HAS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY OR NEEDS IMMEDIATE MEDICAL TREATMENT, PLEASE CONSULT AN ANIMAL HOSPITAL OR EMERGENCY VETERINARY FACILITY IMMEDIATELY.

How accurate is K9 EyeScan?

K9 EyeScan Evaluation examines most major canine anatomical systems. The Report’s accuracy varies from 66% to 93% - depending on the specific anatomical system involved. The evaluation results are created using statistical methods, which means that accuracy of results for your pet may fall outside the range stated above. Only a licensed veterinarian can provide a true diagnosis, determine whether or not treatment is required and/or proscribe any medication.
