6 Most Common Eye Problems in Dogs

It’s never easy when your dog starts having health problems, but recognizing signs early can significantly reduce the chances of it advancing to something serious. It’s not just older dogs that experience eye problems - a number of conditions that can occur at all ages across all breeds. Here are the most common eye problems to look out for in your dog.

1. Pink Eye

Many dog owners don’t know that their furry friends can get pink eye or conjunctivitis. Similar to humans, symptoms include:

• Eye redness

• Inflammation

• Gooey discharge

If your dog has pink eye caused by a bacterial infection, he will need to see a vet and receive an antibiotic eye drop solution. In some occasions, pink eye can be brought on by an allergic reaction to pollen or cigarette smoke and will require a solution to flush the irritants out of your dog’s eyes.

8 best dog harnesses in 2021: Find the best harness for your dog

From no-pull dog harnesses to the best harnesses for small dogs and ones designed with ID tags in mind, find the best one for your dog (and for you).
