Our pets can’t tell us when something feels off, but their bodies often do. While they may seem perfectly fine on the outside, the earliest signs of discomfort or illness tend to show up in quiet, easily missed ways.

A little extra scratching, a change in how their eyes look, or a dullness in their coat can all be subtle signals that they need extra care. By paying closer attention to these often-overlooked areas, like the eyes, ears, skin, and coat, we can catch potential issues early and help our pets feel their best every day.

Eyes
If you notice redness, cloudiness, excessive tears, or frequent pawing, these can be early indicators of eye irritation or dryness. While a gentle wipe wtith a warm, damp cloth can clear tear ducts and manage minor buildup, persistent symptoms such as squinting, heavy blinking, discharge, or ongoing sensitivity should not be overlooked. For pets experiencing dry or irritated eyes, HYLO® Lube Eye Drops offer preservative-free, soothing hydration designed to relieve discomfort and support eye health. This product also mimics your pet’s natural tears, so it is an excellent option for washing out any irritants, like dust or even household chemicals, without risking a reaction.

Additionally, Ocu-Glo Vision Supplement Gelcaps provide targeted nutritional support for eye function and overall ocular health from the inside-out. As always, we recommend consulting your veterinarian before introducing new eye care products or supplements.

Ears
Ear health is equally important, but sometimes a floppy ear can make warning signs easier to miss. Scratching, head shaking, or unpleasant odours are often-unnoticed warning signs for ear discomfort. Routine, gentle cleaning helps prevent wax buildup and lowers the risk of ear infection before problems take hold. Virbac’s Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleaner is an effective, alcohol-free formula that maintains the ear canal’s natural balance while removing debris and moisture. Adding this simple step to your grooming routine can make a significant difference in your pet’s comfort. Remember to focus your at-home care on the external ear, and do not insert any Q-Tips or other objects into your pet’s ear canal - inner ear cleaning is best left to your vet.

Skin & Coat
Beneath the fur, signs of skin trouble sometimes fly under the radar. Skin irritations such as dullness, redness, dandruff, or excessive shedding can signal dryness, inflammation, or even unaddressed allergies. Regular brushing helps distribute natural oils and offers a chance to detect changes early. When a dedicated treatment is needed, bathing with medicated shampoo provides targeted relief. Virbac’s Medicated Shampoos are expertly formulated to address bacterial, fungal, and inflammatory skin conditions without stripping the skin’s protective barrier. They are a smart choice for pets prone to hotspots or sensitive skin.
