I'm wondering if anyone uses the OTC eye drops for dry for people, on there doggies that have Dry Eye?

Yes, Genteal liquid gel for moderate dry eyes (orange stripe on box), NOT the Genteal gel in tube (red stripe on box) , is very helpful for dry eye, in dogs or humans. I've tried less costly brands but they seem just like water and are not nearly as comforting.
Is there a reason that you don't use the gel in the tube? I used the gel for years for dry eye in cockers. The gel stays with the eye longer, which is helpful for someone who works all day and isn't home to drop the eyes every couple of hours. Just wondering.....
Thanks,
Good point! I do use it myself at bedtime sometimes, which is when Dr recommends it. The problem for humans is that it causes blurry vision. That's a pain when trying to read the paper or computer screen, anything that requires clear vision. Not a problem for doggies! :W The tube type is basically vaseline+water and I sure wish I was the one who thought of marketing it! Wow, is it expensive! :E
