Care for your dog's eyes and the area around them
The eye area is sensitive and deserves regular, gentle care. Choose between daily cleansing and targeted solutions for tear stains.
Three products that are enough
ARAVA Herbal wet wipes for the eye area
For daily wiping. Natural, gentle on sensitive skin.
AYF Natural cleaner around the eyes
Gentle daily cleansing for sensitive skin and predisposed breeds.
ARAVA Tear pigmentation remover
Targeted solution for tear stains and brown pigmentation under the eyes.
Routine Care vs. Tear Stains
Routine care
Regular wiping of the eye area to remove dust, dirt, and excess tears. Just use moistened wipes or a gentle cleanser that won't cause irritation.
Tear stains and pigmentation
Brown to rusty fur discoloration from prolonged dampness. It needs a targeted product that will gradually lighten the pigmentation. A regular wipe is not enough.
Brown discoloration, especially in skin folds, can also be caused by yeast. Be careful not to mistake the cause of the discoloration.
How to do it in 4 steps
Get a wipe or cleaner ready and calm the dog down first.
Gently wipe from the inner corner outwards, never directly over the eye.
Use a clean part of the wipe for each eye to avoid transferring dirt.
After cleaning, observe if any redness or irritation appears.
Usually, regular wiping is enough
Pay attention to significant tearing, redness, or brown discoloration of the fur, especially in flat-faced breeds. If the problems persist, consult a veterinarian.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean the area around my eyes?
Ideally several times a week. For dogs prone to tearing or pigmentation, even daily.
What is the difference between cleaning and treating tear stains?
Regular cleaning removes dust and excess tears. Tear stains are hair pigmentation caused by prolonged moisture and require a targeted product.
When to choose wipes and when a targeted product?
Wipes for daily maintenance. A targeted product for when the fur under the eyes is visibly stained or routine cleaning is not enough.
What should I watch out for?
Only use products intended for dogs and avoid contact with eyes. In case of inflammation, discharge, or significant redness, consult a veterinarian.
