How often should I clean my dog’s eyes_

You should clean your dog’s eyes at least once a week, but it can vary based on breed, health, and lifestyle:

• Daily for dogs with bulging eyes (like Pugs or Shih Tzus), allergies, or excessive tear staining.

• Weekly for most dogs with healthy eyes and no visible discharge.

• After outdoor activities if your dog gets dirt, pollen, or debris in their eyes.

Look for signs like redness, discharge, excessive tearing, or squinting—these could mean you need to clean more frequently or see a vet.

When cleaning:

1. Use a clean, damp cloth or vet-recommended eye wipes.

2. Gently wipe from the inner corner of the eye outward.

3. Avoid using your fingers or anything not meant for pets.
