Getting your pet ready for Halloween?
Costumes, decorations, and trick-or-treating can be fun for us, but they can introduce a few extra hazards for our pets.

Before the festivities begin, keep a few things in mind:
👁️ Watch what’s around their eyes. Make sure costumes, masks, hats, and accessories don’t rub against the eyes or obstruct your pet’s vision.
🎃 Be careful with decorations. Dangling decorations, sharp edges, and excited pets aren't always a great combination.
🐶 Make sure costumes fit comfortably. Your pet should be able to see, move, breathe, and behave normally while wearing one.
🍫 Keep the candy out of reach. Chocolate and some sugar-free candies can be dangerous for pets.

A little preparation can help keep Halloween fun, comfortable, and safe for everyone. Happy Halloween from the Animal Eye Care team!

Did you know your pet doesn't need a referral to visit Animal Eye Care?

While we work closely with primary care veterinarians throughout the Bay Area, a referral isn't required to make an appointment with our ophthalmology team.

If you've noticed a change in your pet's eyes or vision, have an ongoing eye condition, or simply want a specialist to take a closer look, you can contact Animal Eye Care directly. And when your pet has a primary veterinarian, we'll work with them to help keep everyone informed and your pet's care connected.

Every cat has their own opinion about an eye exam!
Cats aren't always enthusiastic participants in veterinary visits — and we understand that.

An ophthalmology exam requires us to get a very close look at some very small structures, so working with each patient at their own pace can be an important part of the visit. Sometimes that means a little patience. Sometimes it means changing our approach. And sometimes it means accepting that our patient has very strong feelings about the entire situation!

At Animal Eye Care, our goal is to get the information we need while keeping the experience as comfortable as we can for each individual patient.

Have a cat with an eye concern? Learn more about Animal Eye Care or call us to see if we're the right fit for their care.

Why would eyelashes cause an eye problem? 👁️
Eyelashes are supposed to help protect the eye — but sometimes they can become the problem.

Some pets develop distichiasis, a condition where extra eyelashes grow from an abnormal location along the eyelid.

Depending on the hair and where it sits, it can rub against the surface of the eye and cause irritation, excessive tearing, squinting, or even damage to the cornea. Some pets with distichiasis never seem bothered by it, while others may need treatment to keep their eyes comfortable and healthy.

Noticing squinting, tearing, eye rubbing, or other signs of discomfort?

Why does your pet’s eye suddenly turn bright green during an eye exam? 👁️

It’s called a fluorescein stain, and it’s a simple diagnostic test used to evaluate the surface of the eye.

A small amount of fluorescent dye is placed on the eye. Healthy corneal tissue doesn’t hold onto the stain, but areas where the cornea has been damaged can take it up and glow bright green.

This helps your veterinary ophthalmology team identify problems such as corneal scratches and ulcers that may otherwise be difficult to see. The stain can also be useful for evaluating how tears drain from the eye.

It may look dramatic, but it provides valuable information about your pet’s eye health — all in just a few moments!

Patience Makes a Difference 🐾
Eye exams can be a little intimidating for some pets—especially those with strong opinions about being examined!

We loved hearing about Mark’s experience with his Chihuahua and our team: “They performed a thorough eye exam on our VERY fussy Chihuahua. The staff were very patient with our dog, and she did very well.”

Providing a thorough examination while helping each patient feel as comfortable as possible is an important part of what we do. Sometimes, a little extra patience goes a long way.

Thank you, Mark, for trusting Animal Eye Care with your pup and for sharing your experience!

Ask Animal Eye Care 👁️
What have you always wondered about your pet’s eyes?

Why do dogs get tear stains? Can dogs and cats see the same colors we do? What causes cataracts? Why do cats' pupils change so dramatically? What exactly does a veterinary ophthalmologist do? There’s a lot happening inside those little eyes—and we love helping pet owners better understand them.
