Did you know that, like humans, dogs can experience allergies and other serious eye infections that can have a long-term impact on their health? 

According to an All About Vision survey of 1,000 UK pet owners, an alarming percentage admitted to not knowing whether their furry friends have allergies. 

Equally concerning was the number of pet owners who wouldn’t know if their pet was suffering from eye disease, or the impact on their pets’ eyes if these diseases were left untreated.
