Can't see eyes Hi everybody, I posted my question in training section but got only two responds. I would like to hear from your experience more, what can help. If some products effective like pet silk gel. What robber band do you use and where to purchase it, also what size are better. This is original post: I have Sophie 7m old for two weeks. I comb her every day and make a ponytail but some of the hair is too short and soon after I'm done I see hair in Sophies eyes. More then it, the muzzle hair is partially standing up and together with pony covers Sophies eyes. Sophie didn't have a hair cut and I want to keep her hair long for now. I just wondering how you guys deling with this kind of problem. Do I need to trim her face hair or how to make my babies eyes open. When I see pictures of your babies I can see eyes clearly. But in my reality I am able to see Sophies eyes only for 10-15 min right after brushing, then her face pretty fast becoming hairy with barely seen eyes. Do you wash your babies face and eyes every day ? What do you use for daily toilet to clean a sticky secretions produced by eye - is it normal to have it for a dog ? |
Good question!! I have tried everything...I even asked a groomer. She gave me some little rubber bands... I still have the hair in the eyes. I have tried water...but ended up using a little vaseline to keep the hair away from her eyes....I would like to know if there is anything else as well... |
Did you tried pet silk topknot gel ? I got advice to use it. But before I'll buy it I would like to hear more opinions. |

I know exactly what you mean! I think it's just an inbetweeny sort of phase of growing a puppy's coat. My Maisie is now 8 months old nd this still happens a bit. I know some peeps use some sort of gel but I've not tried it so afraid I cant recommend any! :rolleyes: I buy small hair elastics from my locoal chemist or on line boutiques. The other place you can get them is a Dentists as they use a perfect size band for Orthodontistry. The eye gunk is pretty normal I believe, just clean her eyes when she gets it. Use a moistened piece of tissue/towel and gently wipe it away or use a fine combe to combe it our once it's soft from the water on the tissue. Just make sure it's softened before you combe or it could hurt her. ;) Hope this helps a little! :) |
1 Attachment(s) I bought a grooming cd and she used just regular hair gel. You really don't need a lot just a dab. I've not use the pet silk so I don't know about it. Could you try and put a small snap barrette in the front to keep the hair up? I also started to put pig tails in Maggies hair since she had the stray hairs too. It seemed to help some. |
Maggie so cute |
I have not even heard of it...I live in a very small town. We have a Walmart 30 miles away. Everything else is 175 miles away....:sad:Where can I find it??? |
If you want a nice topknot...do not trim the hair at the bridge of her nose nor give her bangs. I like the petzlife gel...human gel works but not nearly as well. You can buy grooming bands or purchase a bag of little girl's hair bands at the drug store. There is a variety of sizes in that bag. Do not remove them with your fingers...clip them out. |

I attempted the rubber bands on Pepper but she won't stand for it and ends pulling the darn things out and breaking her hair in the process. I use the children's snap barrettes they come in a variety of sizes. In the past when I would put her hair up in a topknot or pigtails(really hates) I would use the itty bitty ones that you would use on an infant. I am forever checking the children's section of walmart, target, k-mart ect for barrettes or the terry cloth hair bands(don't break her hair but keeps it out of her eyes). If you get the really little ones you could put it down low between her eyes to keep the shorter hair out of her eyes. Pepper is a year old now and when her hair is down she looks like one of the beetles, I honestly don't know how she sees anything!! |

1 Attachment(s) here is a pic of her with pigtails. She really didn't like me that day |
I find some very cute kids barrettes at Claire's. Don't know if you have one in your area. Another place to check are dollar stores. |

3 Attachment(s) I use the PetSilk gel and love it! I also used the little snap barrets while Gracie's hair was growing out. I believe someone on YT sells it, but you can also get it at GlamourDog.com - Designer Dog Clothes, Dog Collars and Pet Carriers I also got the small grooming bands from them. I love her in pigtails, but she's not too crazy about it. I have also started braiding her top knot and really love that too! |

Ha ha, this is the second time I caught you making a mistake, once you misspelled something. :D Personally I think the Petsilk topknot gel works really well on this forehead hair. Petzlife gel is great for the teeth, but I've never heard of anyone using it for this though. :D |
My girl is such a tomboy she pulls all the stuff out of her hair and loves to roll in the snow, etc. As far as the eyes go I use those round cotton pads to moisten the eye boogies, wait a bit then gently comb them out. Otherwise you pull the fur out too. You may have to moisten them quite a bit to soften them up enough not to pull. |
I like to use the ones that don't break the hair when you take them out Scunci brand. The seems to stay just as well at the rubber band type but don't break the hair when you take them out. I can slip them out without cutting but the still stay very well in her hair. The only problem would be that only the very smallest ones work the best so I always end up with a lot of the larger ones in the package. To me at least when I put them in Pebbles hair they don't cause the hair to to twist about and knot like the rubberband type. :) Then I put a little barrette inside the topknot only through the front and it all stays really well. This is how I use to do my daughters hair went she was a baby too. :D scunci Products |
I have the Petsilk Hair Gel and theoretically it would work well except for one thing. Katy Lou won't stop rubbing her head to get it out when I use it. So I just went back to dampening her hair with water before putting the band in. I think it may be the smell she is trying to get rid of. |
Who use petsilk topknot gel if it makes hair sticky ? And grooming bands what size are you using 1/4" or biger. |
For Molly the bands I use are from the dollar store. I got a 1000 of them for $1... you can't beat that! So far, I haven't had any problems with them ripping out her hair or anything. Molly is a red-legged and so her hair doesn't grow like most of your alls yorkies. She has a little patch of hair in the front of her face (I'm assuming its the same hair your yorkies has there that is annoying) that isn't long enough to go up in her bow. I don't even know if I should have hopes that this hair will ever grow long enough to get in her bow (she's 4). Hmm.. I read on her that someone used vaseline. I tried that... and it didn't do a good job. I'll try human gel next. I just don't like the way her hair looks when I added certain products b/c her hair is already coarse and I'm afraid the gel (and the pet gel) may just make it look more dry... :( What to do?! AHH |
Hi, I tried to assume your advices and clean Sophies eyes with washcloth. Most of the junk was taken off but still I feel her snout hair kind of sticky and just with wetting it's not going away. I did topknot and put barrett to hold small hair arising from her nose bridge. It looked fine, cute, and finally I was able to see my baby's eyes. But after whale whole my work looked messy . I think with gel it might last longer. I will try to buy gel. |
Yes, I have Claire's not far from me. I'll check there for barrettes b/c what I have at home they from my dtr and for Sophie it's too big. |
Our little guy has the same issue but he is only 4 months old I get some of his hair in a band but the rest gets in his little eyes I tried vaseline but it didnt work either. I will give the hair gel a try tomorrow. :animal-pa Oh and for molly's owner ...what is a red leg please? |
One note about the Petsilk topknot gel, you only use a tiny amount. I put a dab on my finger than rub it in the palm of my other hand to remove most of it, and than just dab on the short hairs. You don't need to put it on the whole forehead, think of it more as glue. |
