Pet Tips

Eye problems in dogs

If your dog is showing any signs of eye discomfort, it may be caused by one of these conditions and will need veterinary treatment.

My dog is squinting, blinking a lot and rubbing his eye – I think he may have eye pain. 


Have you ever had dust or an eyelash in your eye? Then you know exactly how painful it can be when something is wrong with your eye. This can happen to pets too! Eye pain can have many different causes, most of which can be successfully treated if caught early. However, some conditions can worsen quickly and may even lead to vision loss if not addressed promptly. 



My pet has diarrhoea. What's the quickest way to help his tummy return to normal?

Diarrhoea in dogs and cats is a nightmare for every pet owner who experiences it - you wake up one morning to find stinky effluent dribbled and splattered across the floor. And often, just as it is being cleaned up, your pet has a repeat episode!
