Customer Reviews
Favorite Eye Care Product
This has been the best eye wash product we have ever tried. Scooby is a Corgi so of course he is low to the ground, therefore he gets red eyes sometimes from walking through plants and grass. The eye wash always does the trick on flushing out the dirt and debris. Disclaimer: We received this product free of charge in exchange of our honest opinion.
The Gel Makes All the Difference
Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Pet Eye Gel is a great product. After using this eye gel for only a few days I can see a dramatic reduction in his cherry eye. The gel allows for precise application and less waste. You know you're definitely getting it into your dog's eye this way. I would buy the product again and again.
Magic In A Bottle
Caught a glimpse of what looked like a scratch on my horse's eye. The eyelid was cut about an inch long from the back corner towards the front. I cleaned her up, applied the Vetericyn Ophthalmic Gel, and put a patch over her eye and repeated this 4 times that day. By the next morning all the swelling had completely subsided and it was no longer irritating her! 5 days later it’s completely healed without a scar to be seen! HIGHLY recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Eye Drops
What are pet eye drops used for and how do they help?
Pet eye drops are designed to support eye care by lubricating, cleaning, and protecting the eye surface. They are commonly used for dry eyes, irritation, removing debris, discharge, and allergy symptoms. Some formulas act as artificial tears, providing moisture and comfort, while others — like Vetericyn's antimicrobial eye wash and ophthalmic gel — use non-toxic hypochlorous (HOCl) technology to moisturize, clean, and help reduce the risk of infection. Regular use of eye drops for pets can support overall eye health, especially in dogs and cats with sensitive eyes or environmental exposure.
How do I clean my pet’s eyes safely at home?
To safely clean your pet’s eyes, use a gentlesolution such as an antimicrobial eye wash to rinse and flush away dirt, discharge, or irritants. Vetericyn's eye wash is safe for use on dogs, cats, and all animals, and works well to clean the fur and skin around the eyes — especially when managing tear stains. Avoid harsh products and always choose non-irritating, topical solutions designed specifically for animals. For best results, follow the eye wash with our ophthalmic gel for added relief and protection. Maintaining proper hygiene through daily eye care helps prevent buildup and irritation.
When should I consult a veterinarian for my pet’s eye condition?
If your pet shows persistent redness, swelling, inflammation, excessive tearing, or signs of discomfort, it’s important to consult a veterinarian. While mild irritation can often be managed with eye drops for dogs and other animals or eye gel for pets, more serious conditions, such as infections or injury, may require veterinary care or additional medication. Early intervention helps prevent complications and ensures your pet receives the right treatment for long-term eye health and comfort.
