She has that red stain starting to form and the water /cotton pad aren;t even making a dent in it. Any suggestions? |
It's kind of a good news/bad news situation for Eye Envy. The active ingredients are Boric Acid and Euphrasia (Eyebright). I know that boric acid is used in human eye washes, so it's probably safe. Here is information on the use of boric acid in human eye washes from the Drugs.com website:

Eyebright is an herbal extract that has been used for hundreds of years, but it may or may not be safe. You can check the uses and side effects in humans on the WebMD website:

In my opinion, it's probably safe, but I'd avoid getting it into the dog's eyes, just in case.
The Naturvet Tear Stain Supplement is a chew that you give to your dog. I think the ingredients are harmless, but I have no idea how effective it is.
