Because I rinse my dogs eyes frequently as we love to swim and I am a partial nut about eye care. Here is how I do it for my Yorkie. I cradle on my lap with one side of his head/face nestled into my elbow crook and they use that hand to reach over and open the eye - then the quick two or three drops - I use the outer corner of the eye so hopefully the medicine washes across the eyes. I always give a special yummy treat afterwards. That is after I do both eyes.
With my big dogs I use the side of my hip and nestle them into the front of my body when we are standing - They love that close in position to Moms. I already have the lid of the eye drops and when they lift their head to mine - a kiss and then two fingers open eye and the other hand quickly presses the meds from the bottle in.
