Does your dog have pink eye? Does your dog need dog pink eye products? If your dog has pink eye, they can pass it on to other canines or even to people, or vice versa, although it is rare to spread diseases across species. Your dog may have pink eye if they exhibit any of the following behaviors listed below. Speak to their veterinarian to see if they can benefit from dog pink eye products.

Your dog's eye looks swollen

If one or both of your dog's eyes looks swollen, then they may have pink eye. Pink eye spreads by touching one infected eye, then touching the other. It's possible your canine has only infected one eye. Take your dog to the vet to have their eye looked at and potentially flushed to see if there is debris in there or if pink eye is to blame.

Your dog's eye is watery

Watery eyes can indicate allergies, irritation, or pink eye. Your dog may benefit from pink eye products if they have watery eyes that look uncomfortable. Your dog's eyes may look watery as well as cloudy or bright red around the rims, which also usually indicates they have pink eye.

Never touch your dog's eyes directly as you can pass pink eye on to their other eye, to other pet's eyes, or to yourself. Examine your dog while wearing gloves and take them to your vet to see if they can benefit from dog pink eye products.

Your dog's eye is covered in mucous

Your dog's eyes may get covered in mucous if they have a severe infection of pink eye. They may also exhibit different symptoms if they have a bacterial pink eye infection over a viral one. A viral pink eye infection can spread and can also cause mucous and sniffles or other upper respiratory infections. A bacterial eye infection can have mucous, too, but will be limited to the eyes in most cases.

Your best option is to take your dog to the vet and have them get prescribed dog pink eye products. Your dog will have to use their eye drops and other products for as long as their veterinarian says to in order to get the best results. This way, your dog will be able to fully heal from their pink eye infection and will be far less likely to pass their condition on to other pets in the home or to you and your family.
