" Hi, I'm Doctor Lauren at petside.com. And I'm going to show how to keep your cat's and dog's eyes clean at home. What I like to do is go to the local pharmacy and just pick up an eyewash, the same thing you can use on yourself. This way, you know it will be safe and it won't harm your pet's eyes. In case your pet does get an eye infection and your veterinarian prescribes an eye ointment, I'm also going to show you how to apply it. So it's really important to keep your pet's eyes clean. Especially with dog's like Stella that have pushed in faces, you really want to make sure it clean in between the wrinkles. So what I do is take a piece of gauze and take some eye wash and put it on the gauze. Then, you just want to make sure you clean out the folds and all along the bottom of the eyes."
" Then if you have to put an ointment in their eyes, you kind of do the same thing. What you want to do is ideal have someone hold her pet for you, then you just open the eye and gentle put in the ointment. You don't want to touch the tip of the applicator to your pet's eyes because this could actually scratch their eye and hurt them. I'm Doctor Lauren from petside.com. If you have any questions feel free to email me at Dr. Lauren at petside.com"
