OFA Fee Structure

Litter Rates = 3 or more members of the same litter, submitted together

Kennel Rates = a group of 5 or more individuals, owned/co-owned by the same person, submitted together

* = Equivocal and Affected dogs no charge. Resubmit studies no charge

** = Evaluation fees for dogs determined by the OFA to be affected will be refunded. If the dog has an existing hip dysplasia certification, a Legg-Calve-Perthes certification is at no charge upon the submission of the Legg-Calve-Perthes from Hip Dysplasia Number form.

***The OFA does not charge a fee to enter abnormal SA results (the fee is refunded to the owner), or to enter resubmit results on previously tested clear or equivocal dogs. A number of owners have assumed that the OFA policy not to charge on resubmits applies to the labs as well. This is not the case. Please note, the laboratories/ dermapathologists charge a fee every time they process a new sample.  Please consult the lab prior to submission for their current fees.

Deafness note: The OFA will continue to register BAER Hearing Test Results for whole Dalmatian litters at no charge through the end of 2006. The fees are being underwritten through a generous grant from the Dalmatian Club of America Foundation.

Canadian/Foreign Funds Policy

Due to the increased bank processing charges imposed when cashing checks drawn on foreign financial institutions, beginning October 1, 2003, the OFA will charge an additional $8.00 fee for all payments drawn on a foreign bank. To avoid the additional charge when submitting applications from outside the U.S., please use one of the following methods of payment:

• Use checks or money orders drawn on US financial institutions.

• Use postal money orders.

• Use Visa or Mastercard. Please provide us with the credit card number, the expiration date, and the name as it appears on the card.
