I’ve just come across a dog product specifically for dry eye in dogs – and it’s got great reviews.

Check out Dog Dry Eye Remedy.

Your poor dog. He must be quite distressed by this problem with his eyes.

The products I’d try for this problem would be the Pet eye care ointment and the Pet eye care remedy (click on the links, or see my comment addressed to Rachel, above, for more info on both these products).

So sorry I missed your comment until now. Better late than never, I hope!

Yes, one of the homeopathic eye remedies is this one – Cataract Eye Care for Dogs.

A naturopathic vet I spoke to about this product suggested that these tablets should be given 3 weeks on and 3 weeks off for cataracts that have already started developing.

She also told me recently that treating the liver can also actually improve vision! You can find a good liver supplement for pets here.

Hope these tips help your dog’s failing eyesight.

Thanks for your kind comments. I really appreciate them.

Sorry to hear that Bentley is getting recurrent eye infections.

First of all, let me stress that eye infections can be serious, and if you’re worried you should definitely be consulting further with your vet. Please note that I am NOT a vet and I have NO veterinary training whatsoever. I speak only from my own very limited experience as a dog owner like yourself.

But that said, if the drops your vet is prescribing for your dog’s eye infections are not working on a long term basis, there would be no harm in trying a natural remedy as well. Because we need to be so very careful with our dogs’ eyes and eyesight, I would hesitate to say try the natural remedy instead of the vet’s drops, as I have no idea what the vet’s drops are or what Bentley’s particular condition is. So what I’d do is try the natural remedy/ies while Bentley’s eye problem is reasonably good. That way there will be no risk to Bentley’s eyes from not using the vet’s drops, and you’ll be able to see whether the natural remedies provide a longer term benefit than the drops you’ve been using.

Hope that makes sense. Any queries about that, let me know, or preferably discuss it with your vet.

There are actually two types of natural remedies for dog eye care and dog eye conditions – one is an ointment, and the other is an oral remedy (tablets).

Click on either of the following links for more information on each product. You can try each one separately, or both in conjunction with each other.

Pet eye care ointment – treats and prevents eye infections including conjunctivitis, relieves pain, soothes eye dryness, promotes healthy vision, reduces inflammation, soothes the eyes, and is a general tonic for pet eye health.

Pet eye care remedy (tablets) – for eye infections and inflammation, double or blurred vision, dry eyes, conjunctivitis, failing eyesight, dilation of pupils and cloudy eyes.

Hope this helps Bentley’s problem.

‘Bentley’ my King Charles Cavalier (2 1/2 yrs) has been getting a lot of eye infections lately. the drops provided by our vet seem to be helping, but only when the drops are used…as soon as the bottle is finished, Bentley’s eyes get all red and ‘gooky’ again.

**I was wondering if you had any advice, info or ideas on how I can help my Bentley-boy more comfortable and less ‘gooky’.

Thanks so much again,
Rachel -n- Bentley
