Mucky Doggie Eyes

Mucky doggie eyes doesn’t always mean that your dog has an eye infection. Muck in the eyes, much like what we get and refer to as a visit from the sandman, happens due to the eyes natural cleansing. When eyes come into contact with various environmental pollutants, dust in the air, smoke, dirt, etc.. the eyes will naturally water to aid in the removal of the debris. Overnight or while sleeping, it is not uncommon for a dog to establish a mucky build up around the eyes.

Muck in your dogs’ eyes can be easily cleaned by gently wiping the edge of the eye with a clean cloth or tissue. Remember to wipe around the eye, never directly on the eye’s surface. You can also buy eye wipes made specifically for dogs.

However, your dog has dirt or debris in its eye other than in just the corners, flush it out with eyewash. Make sure you consider your dog’s safety and comfort by purchasing eyewash just for dogs; there are canine-friendly solutions available.

To use the eyewash, put the bottle near, but not in, your dog’s eye and squeeze the bottle gently. Be sure that the bottle is angled downward, so that gravity will assist you in flushing out the debris. Give your dog a treat afterwards, as this can be quite stressful for him.
