I do not know if this just coincidence or real. Since I switch to canidae she has less eye boogers. Some members here also experienced the same.

Wow....i'm not the only one with this issue, i've been having Jazz checked from head to toe in the last few weeks and so far so good. Im not able to have him groomed because he just got neutered, and the eye boogers really annoy my hubby. Jazz let's me remove them and was his face, hopefully this helps

Bentley is 15 weeks now. We went to the Vet for his 3rd Round of shots today. When we asked about his "eye boogers" the vet said it was normal and usually they go away...but he gave us eye drops to use once a day in the evening *1 drop in each eye*. He said it should clear up a little faster.

I use a soft brissle tooth brush. I also have well water and my groomer reccomended that Chili could be getting too much minerals from his water. She suggessted that I switch him to bottle water and to ad a 1/4 of a tsp apple cider vinager per gallon. It was such a small amount and I started Chili on it but he shortly after got sick from some shots that he got so I moved his water to just bottle water alone for now. I am anxious to see if the remedy works.

It seems that the older Josie gets, the more gunk she gets under her eyes. Anybody else see it that way or did I just not notice them when she was so young? She's now 9 months old.

Bennett gets them too, he refuses to let me get them sometimes I make my mom get them so she can be the "bad" guy and then he will come running to me. He wont even let us use a warm wash cloth

Think i found a product actually in pet section of TJ Maxx. My Super Dog pet ear and eye wipes 100 count. Wipe away stains and wax with one easy swipe..

My yorkie allows me access near his eyes and i genty remove most of the crust.. right eye worse then left..i believe my dog park nearby is a culprit because they spray the premises with something causing dogs allergies and told every dog gets their allergies only at the park.

I would not cut it out as then the little hairs grow in and annoy his eyes. I find that u must do it everyday if I let it slip and it gets hard he will scratch and then off to vet we go.. a warm cloth gingerly and slowly on the spots does work. My vet used straight saline solution and that works the best at dissolving the ick. The vet did us a flea comb but I do not. I bought Miracle Care from Amazon Eye wash pads. Use 1 pad/eye. This is the best for me. It must bother him because when I say Eyes! He comes right over (he is 4 don’t be disappointed if you have a pup). Good luck

All of my Yorkies have had them. Yorkies are very short, are way down on the floor or sidewalk or lawn where the minute bits of pollen, dust, detritus are stirring and are so short their eyes are like magnets for all of that. Particles in eyes, eyes tear and wash out onto the corners of the eyes/muzzle, where, if left, they can form into pus-like eye boogers. Tibbe is not that much taller than the St. Augustine grass on my property so his little eyes collect a good bit of stuff from playing in the yard, ripping around through the grass chasing squirrels!

I think their little eyes, which often tear, are like dust mops for particles our feet or the wind might stir up, then their tears wash out the particles to the edges of their eyes where they can form as eye boogers. Dogs with bad allergies can actually ooze pus from their eyes.

I just gave up worrying about eye boogers and clean Tibbe's eyes, muzzle/face, head, body, feet, tummy all over with a double wet paper towel twice daily. One end of the towel is quite wet and I lay that over his eyes to soften any eye goo he's collected, then very gently wipe that wettest part of the towel over his closed eyelids one eye at a time and down out onto the muzzle, all the way to the end of his mustache. I follow that up with the flea comb and carefully comb, wash through the area in the inside corners of the eyes until all the hair is totally clean and clear. You then have to soap wash the flea comb and be sure it's dry before using it again. Every couple of days I spray disinfectant on it, leave it a bit and then rinse it over and over before drying.

Tibbe is so short and his coat is just like a dust mop - catching dust, particles and leaves from the grass, sidewalk and floor so a going over twice a day with a damp double paper towel keeps his eyes clean and clear, his coat cleaner, his feet cleaner, smelling better and the area over his penis free of urine stain. I end up with a few swipes over his perianal area with the unused portion of the paper towel and he's fresh again. Twice a day and you have only small bits of eye boogers occasionally. He stays a lot fresher and neater between baths this way.

Yep I would say they got worse over time. Deuce is now 8. I do not cut the hair around his eyes or snout. He has a top knot so I'm used to doing it daily or multiple times a day. I clean his eyes and face daily and clean his beard after he eats since he's been on canned food. I do give him baby water (the kind that is mixed with formula) and that does decrease the crusty ones. He's been on baby water for more than 5 years.

Baby water is new to me. What are the advantages of using it and where do you buy it.
