Cleaning your Dog’s Eyes

Your dog’s eyes are just as important as your dog’s ears. Dogs rely on their eyesight and hearing to alert them of danger. This protects you as well. If they cannot hear or see danger lurking, they can’t protect or warn their master.

Before ever cleaning your dog’s eye, if there is a massive amount of discharge, it is a good indication that there is something medically wrong and you need to take your dog to the vet to get a full evaluation. Some dogs however do have an excessive amount of discharge, but make sure that is actually your dog’s nature and that the coloration of the discharge is normal. A few signs that can suggest that the discharge from your dog’s eyes may be an eye infection or other serious disorders are the evidence of redness, cloudiness, bleeding, or inflammation in the eyes. If you see any of these symptoms, seek your vets help immediately and do not clean your dog’s eyes yourself.

If you see no signs of infection you can clean your dogs eyes. Dirt easily gets trapped near and in the eyes of dogs especially with wrinkled faces or droopy lids, such as a bulldog, but any dog will need its eyes cleaned on occasion. Use a soft cloth dipped in warm water to gently clean the lids and around the eyes.
