How to Put Eye Drops in a Dog’s Eyes?

The method for applying eye drops to a dog is as follows. First, prepare the needed eye drops, gauze or cotton swabs, and a clean towel or tissue. Use the gauze or swab to gently wipe away dirt or discharge around the dog’s eyes to keep them clean. Then use one hand to gently hold the dog’s head so its eyes are exposed.

With the other hand, pick up the drop bottle and aim the tip at the inner corner of the dog’s eye, letting the drops fall in. Avoid touching the dog’s eye or cornea with the bottle. The dog may feel uncomfortable or resist, so perform the task when it is calm or tired, and help it feel safe and comfortable.
