Dog Ear & Eye Medicine

Your dog's ears can become infected from excessive hair, moisture, or even mites. It is important to give them medicine early on to help remedy the problem before it gets worse. You'll find a bevy of ear medicine at Petco for dogs. Here is a breakdown of each medication and how they treat ear infections:

It is generally safe to give your dog eye drops or ear drops if prescribed by your veterinarian. However, it is important to follow the instructions carefully and ensure that the medication is administered correctly. It is equally important to use the right type of medication for the right condition, as some medications are not suitable for use in ears or eyes. In addition, you should never exceed the dose prescribed by your vet as this could have serious consequences for your pet’s health.

While prescription ear and eye medications for dogs are generally safe and effective, they can cause some side effects. The most common side effects include redness, irritation, and dryness. In more serious cases, adverse reactions such as an allergic reaction may also occur. It’s important to monitor your pet closely after administering these medications and contact your veterinarian if you notice any unusual symptoms or signs of distress.

It hurts to see your canine’s eyes red and swollen. If the cause of their irritation is from a prevalence of pollen, then you'll find dog eye ointments that help reduce itchy or dry oculars. For more serious ailments, you'll find dog eye medicine that helps combat KCS or glaucoma symptoms. Learn more about the prescription dog eye care at Petco and what each medication treats:
