Calm Eyes Ingredients
 

Again thank you for the wonderful response to Calm Eyes. We are so happy to help with your Yorkies health needs. Many of you have been asking what is in the product. Although we do not list ingredients on the website, the ingredrients are listed on the bottle itself & are as follows: Natural Eyebright Herb (which someone described very well in detail earlier, thank you), & distilled water. There is a tiny tiny bit of preservatives to help prolong the shelf life.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know at andrea@calmcoat.com.

Hello everyone.. all i can say that i am VERY happy with calm eyes and calm ears.. I been using calm eyes for my Harry boys eyes since my holistic Vet recomended it.. and she is VERY careful on the products she recomends. Now, all I can say is that every product is NOT for every dog or person, so be cautious and yes, I DID research the ingredients before I bought it, I think I posted them in the other thread, what I found, with that said, you can never be too careful so research is good. I applaud those of you that question every dot on the ingredients, but I do beleive in the experts too.. I do take my pups to the regular vet and then to the holistic one, YES I am a wierd puppy mama...:confused:
the people at calm eyes are very nice and knowledable about their products.
hugs,

who will think twice about recomending anything from now on..:rolleyes:

Please...You don't even know what some of the technical stuff is in the ingredients.. Much less pronoun the names..U people that do allthis is overkill..U don't even know the ingredience is good or bad...Let the experts do their job...Its just silly...Come on be for realllll.:p

Why? Every product on YT is picked apart and some of us decide that the product is good and others that the product is not good. It doesn't mean that people should stop recommending things...

Who are the experts and why are dogs and cats dying from animal products on teh market if the experts are doing a good job?

Everything was fine with me, until someone email me calling me irresponsible for recomending a product the person claimed I knew nothing about.. so really I don't need that agravation.. I guess to recomend someting , you need to know EVERYTHING about it, and honestly I don't.. picking a product appart is fine but attacking a person for recomending something is a bit over board.. I recomended this product in two boards so I don't know from which board it came, I posted the message in both.
My apologies if the email did not come from this one..
thanks,
Carmen in nj

The dogs ar dying from some irresponsible ingredients that companies buy from china to put in dog food...China is the culprit..Just like the leaded toys pulled off the market..So thoughs are the research u should be doing...Not companies that have been in the market place for years and have produced Good products to make our pets comfortable..
Look there are alot of people on this forum that is way far left and there are some that are way far right.. Just get a chemistry degree and then u cansay that u are doing research on labels..PPPPlease...This is rediculous...Give me a break...Carmen in NJ...Ignor all of that... There are Some on here that know it ALL...And don't really KNOw ANY THING....So just put your 2 cents in if u want and for get about it....Some are just Over KIll on this subject...Don't take it personally ..I've learned that since I've been on here. Some don';t have any thing else to do but critized others NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY... The thing about those critics they are just wanting to argue. I say say what u want to but don't start pulling and qouting what others say...When most of u that do that are just plain silly...

Well, I'm sorry that that happened to you. :(
Nobody should be criticized here and if it was a personal attack in a PM, you can report it to admin and it will be taken care of.

I don't think there is such a thing as overkill when you are putting something in the eyes. When some of you talk of experts, did you know that any of you could make a product and sell it as an eyewash? There aren’t many regulations for herbal ingredients. There are lots of products recommended and sold that are plain old hogwash.

I asked the question "has anyone used the product, and it actually cleared the eyes?" Carmen in nj is the one who recommended it and the only one who had ever used it before. Several rushed out and bought it, and reported eyes were much better in a day or so, but there is something in science know as the "placebo effect", and people are so excited about a new product they see an improvement when there is none. After more time has passed they may realize the product isn't effective, but are too embarrassed to speak up. No one but carmen in nj said that their dogs eye were now clear. When I buy a product I'm looking at two factors – safety and effectiveness. A product should pass both tests. There's no reason to get defensive when someone is questioning either of these factors.

Carmen in nj, no one is criticizing you by wanting this information, Joey recently had a problem with brown eye gunk after a food switch, and I believed it may be related to his food, so I was interested in learning how this particular product was said to have worked, especially Eyebright herb, as I'd never heard of it before. I hope this thread stays on a positive note, and those members who purchased it report their results after using it over a period of weeks. I agree with Ellie May report nasty PM's to admin, and don't give you e-mail address out. I appreciate learning about products that people think are great.

I started this thread and I have to say thank you to both people who recommended products for my problem with the eye gunk. Please remember to read posts as they are and not take them to other levels, it is easy to misinterpret information and tone of messages. Use what you feel is relevant to you and ignore the rest as you choose too. I appreciate the Calm Eyes and the Genteal recommendations. I bought the equivalent to Genteal but everytime I go to use it on Snick, he ruuuuuuuuuns hahaha. I might try the calm eyes. THANKS AGAIN!!!

What everrr..Over kill is something to put in the eyes of a puppy to get comfort...Come on people...If it is a herbal ingredient then it most certainly won't hurt a pet.. Now if it is your human child Yes research...But how many pets have been harmed by herbal ingredience to go in there eyes...Herbal ingredience is just that... Research the value of the chemistry of herbs if you want to research something...Yes its over kill.....To each there on...We will just have to agree to disagree..But some of u that do all this research ( so called research) Are only researching the benefit for ur dog and the pro and cons and the feedback of the products rating...But not the remedy itself.. So don't even go there with me... So Silly. grow Up

I think many people assume that if it's a herb, it's safe, nothing could be further from the truth. You need to do more research if you believe this to be a fact. People tend to think if something is natural it's safe, botulism is natural, yet deadly. Your statement, of do research if it's a human child, but not a pet, is utterly ridiculous. Our pets are in every bit of need of our protection as a human child. Why do you feel the need to put down people who are questioning the ingredients of this product? Here's a link that lists some herbs that are considered, "unsafe", notice it says,
I don't know if this product is good or not, but I'm really bothered by the fact that you feel the need to criticize those of us who believe in being careful.

Carmen in NJ thanks for recommending this product. How long have you been using Calm Eyes on your furbaby? Also anyone else who purchased it and have used it for for over 6 months, I would really appreciate feedback on it. My furbabies have eye gunks as well and I've been just cleaning with a warm wash cloth, but it doesn't really help with the tear stain. Thanks! :)

I have been using a product called eye see clearly from AllergicPet.com - Information and products for allergic dogs, cats, and other pets it is a fantastic homeopathic eye product used for dry eyes, conjunctivitis, reduces cataracts, heals corneal ulcers, keeps tear stains to a minimum. Its a bit of a 1 product cures all ! and I totally recommend it.
:yorkiesar

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Absolutely agree!

I'm totally shocked at some of the posts on this thread. I, for one, am thankful to everyone and anyone who takes the time to educate about *anything* on YT. I learn here every day. To criticize members who are trying to be helpful and trying to protect animals is just polar to what this forum is all about. :confused:

Thanks to Nancy and so many others who always try to help. :)

K, first off, you don't know me or what I know. Maybe YOU don't know anything about this stuff but I have spent many many years studying it all and I DO know about it. Thankyouverymuch.

And 2) Dogs and other animals die every day due to veterinarian, food company, and other "PROFESSIONAL'S" mistakes and lack of knowledge.

And 3) Let's not be so ignorant. Everyone gets to choose their own method of doing things. You are not anymore right that we are and I think name calling is out of line.

Oh, and since I PERSONALLY don't like to use products with preservatives in them, I won't PERSONALLY buy this one. HOWEVER this is MY choice for MY family. I think we all should do what makes us feel good about caring for our loved ones and we certainly shouldn't be degraded for it. sheesh.

Whatever happened to southern hospitality?? Yikes!! Easy there! No need to be so rude! We all just want to help each other.

I agree also. I had called the company to ask just exactly what was "Brighteye Herb" I received a call back from the company the following work day and the gal I spoke with was extremely helplful and answered my ???? to my satisfaction. I had questioned why it stated on the bottle keep away from the eyes if it was made for the eyes and she explained to me that this product wasn't meant to be used as an eyewash...just for cleaning below the eye (eyestains). I feel confident in giving it a try and will let everyone know how well it works for us....

well i am happy to hear everyones opinions, good and bad, on this product. it is good that people are doing so much research. our babies depend on us to take the best possible care of them since they really cannot take care of themselves. ;)

i am one of the people who did have a positive experience after using this product only a couple of times. i know about the "placebo effect" and this was not it. i am not too proud or would not be embarrassed to admit that i thought i was seeing results or did for only a short period of time and in the end was wrong and i kind of take offense to someone saying this is the case. it might be for some people but it did irritate me that someone made a statement like that about people they do not even know. :confused: i guess the comment just annoyed me but it is probably because i was home all day with a fever and flu LOL. good for everyone who is hesitant about this product - it shows you are responsible pet owners who only want the best for their dogs - and good for the people who feel okay about using this product and are seeing results. as with anything (food, toys, even wee wee pads lol) what works for some does not work for all :)

as long as i continue to see results, i will use this product! bentley has a lot less gunk in his eyes since using this so i am thrilled :D

You no I have been breeding yorkies for years. But when I had a question or concern the only thng I had to turn to was my vet or looking around on the internet for products. Some I buy that work others don't. When I finally stumbled onto YT I felt like I finally had other people who understood what my concerns were and I could trust would give me some great advise. I sit on here sometimes for hours reading reply's especially from Elli May she rocks. I love hearing pros and cons from people it gives me the opportunity to make more sound decisions on the health and welfare of my babies and adult dogs. So I thank all of you for all your help and unconditional love to all our 4 legged babies. I also have a rescue yorkie that has eye gunk problems that aggrivate her and I have one that has ear problems that I have tried tons of products on been to various vets but she is still has ears that really bother her. I feel like a bad Mommy sometimes because I just don't no what product to try next or how to make my babies feel better. Now I will order calm eye and if that isn't working than I will try Gen Teal until I can make a difference with this babies eyes.

Eye Gunk & a treat
 

It's part of our nightly ritual. After dinner and play time we snuggle on the couch and Sully gets brushed and then I get a warm cloth and slowly and gently wipe the gunk holding it there to get it soft so it comes out easier. After that he gets either a baby carrot or a Charlie Bear treat. He now knows when he sees the brush coming that a treat will soon follow.

i just placed an order for the calm coat eye and ear solution. Can't wait to get it. We should be getting it soon since it was shipped yesterday. Will let everyone know my review on the product. Charlie has bad eye gunk. However, since I switched him to distilled water..His eye gunk is doing a lot better.

Does anyone on this thread feed raw?? I am just wondering if it has to do with diet, I think it does in some cases. I have been contemplating doing a rotation diet w/ raw and kibble and wonder if this 1 small problem would be eliminated. I wonder.....

In the meantime, there is another thread active right now suggesting vinegar in water helps eliminate the gunk. I am trying it today, I put about 1/2 tsp in Snicks water. Regular white distilled vinegar.

I feed raw and it did improve Wylie's eyes. Marcel's eyes are better at certain times of the year - right now with pollen so high, his eyes are gooky. :(

I just ordered some. Thank you so much. I have 3 yorkies with runny eyes.

Just an FYI. I found this site and it explains a lot. Apparently Yorkies are predisposed to dry eye. It is called KCS. (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca)

DRY EYE IN DOGS - Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia

I have also looked at sites that explain KCS.

My vet did test Chip and did not think that Chip needed the tear stimulant just the tear replacement. He also told me that there are three "ingredients" to a dogs tears, with water being the largest and that the "gunk" is from the other two "ingredients".

I thought that the gunk was occurring due to too much tearing. Goes to show ya - I need to think less sometimes. :D

Hey carmen in NJ...THANKS! Anytime any Yorkie mommy (or daddy) finds a product they find beneficial post about it. That is what keeps me here, learning about ways to benefit my girl. Shoot! I would probably still be feeding Iams if it weren't for this site:eek: lol

I am glad the posts have turned to a more pleasant mood:D

Thank you so much for posting this, I think many people thought it was an eyewash.

Does anyone have before and after pics of there pups eyes with using any products?

I'm really trying to find something, Finnigan's eyes are getting so bad this spring. Wiping them out daily isn't helping much. I've heard of so many things to try. Anyone have something that almost completely cleared the eyes?

Please keep posting updates as you use this, I'll be really interested in purchasing it if more seem to have great results! :D

Who knew a thread about eye gunk could get so heated.... :eek:

yay! charlie and I just got our calm eye and ear solution today. We used it. The calm ear actually made his ears smell nicer. I have a hard time wiping his eyes with the solution. Hopefully he will get use to it. Andrea was so sweet. She included a the oatmeal shampoo for us. I used it on him right away too. So far we are happy with calm coat and will be ordering more when we are done with these.
