Eye testing
Ophthalmic testing occurs twice a year with Professor Bedford in the North East. The next clinic is 23/11/09. It takes place at Hurworth Grange, situated at 41 Hurworth Road, at Hurworth Place near Darlington, co. Durham. DL2 2BN. Tel: 01609 8812923. You don't need to book as eye-testing takes place from about 10am-4pm. But it is best to let them know you are attending if you are bringing a fair number of dogs because it does get busy at times
