UNAVAILABLE Due to legal requirements it is not feasible to sell cow eyes within the UK. This is because they are classified as a CAT1 ABP, meaning in addition to complex licensing and costly annual inspections, all waste must be incinerated. This is the case for all eyes from cows over 12m of age, regardless of country of origin.

Cow's eyes suitable for student dissection. The structure and make-up of cow's eyes closely resemble that of other mammals such as humans meaning they are an ideal teaching tool. They are substantially larger than sheep eyes - see comparison image.

Available individually or in a great value pack of 5.

Preserved in formalin then Phenoxetol and vacuum packed for storage and delivery. Once opened, use immediately or submerge in preserving fluid.

Preserved sheep eyes are also available - see comparison image.

Northern Ireland

Sadly, due to the UK leaving the EU, we can no longer supply Northern Irish customers with any products the have codes starting with an 'L' or 'P'. This is due to the requirement for all live or preserved products to have an import licence specific to the customer purchasing and the product being purchased. As each licence takes 2 weeks to obtain, and involves a considerable amount of paperwork, we have made the difficult decision to stop offering these products to Northern Irish customers. We can still offer equipment, i.e. products with an 'E' code, as these simply require customs documentation.

We apologise for the inconvenience and if the legislation changes we will review our decision.

British Islands

Delivery charges to the Isle of Man, Channel Islands (including Jersey & Guernsey), Shetland, Orkney and all the other islands we've missed, are the same as to mainland Britain (see above). The main difference is that delivery is likely to take a little longer, and for this reason we cannot guarantee next day delivery.

In addition, we cannot ship any liquids, so any 'wet' specimen ordered will be sent vacuum packed rather than in a jar.

International Orders

We welcome international orders but please note only non-perishable and non-animal derivative items, i.e. only those with codes starting with an 'E', can be sent.

Buyer is responsible for all import duties and taxes. EU businesses need to supply an EORI number before we can ship.

EU Delivery: £28

If you wish to buy something very small/lightweight, or need urgent delivery, please contact us for a postage quote, otherwise standard charges apply.
