Dog Grooming – How to care for your dog's eyes

How do dogs and cats see?

The myth we hear most often about canine and feline vision is that our pets see in black and white. Dogs and cats have dichromatic vision, which for dogs means they perceive blue and yellow well, while other colors are perceived less clearly (they see them in pastel tones), meaning they focus primarily on the brightness of objects. Cats, on the other hand, perceive gray, blue, and yellow well.

Any diseases or injuries to the eyes of our dogs and cats look very frightening. Sometimes these are conditions that appear genetically, due to age, or associated diseases (glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis), and sometimes they are mechanical injuries to their eyes (cherry eye, corneal injuries, entropion). However, the fact is that with proper eye care, some eye problems can be alleviated or even prevented.

Since eyes are a very sensitive part of the body, it is important to use products that are suitable for our pets and do not contain any aggressive substances that could worsen the condition or irritate the eyes; therefore, at Gajbica, we recommend Arava products for eye care. Arava products are natural and do not contain any pesticides or chemicals, but they do contain essential oils and Dead Sea minerals, which means they are free of side effects and suitable for daily use.

Removal of tear stains and saliva stains

For this annoyance, which is especially pressing for owners of light-colored dogs and cats, we recommend the Iv San Bernard eye cleaner. We can use it without worry, as its natural origin ensures it does not irritate the eyes, and it also contains active ingredients with antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Daily eye care

For daily eye care, the most suitable and simple product is NDC eye wipes. These are gentle, moist wipes for quick daily care. The wipes effectively remove dirt and discharge that accumulate on our pets' eyes after a full day of activity. They contain ingredients that will gently clean and moisturize the eyes.
