Do you wear glasses or contacts? Maybe you’ve had laser surgery to correct your vision. Well, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s SoulÔ wants you to know that your pooch can have eye trouble too.

Feeding a high quality diet, like one of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul dry dog food formulas, will help keep your pet happy and healthy. Still, most veterinarians recommend two preventive health care visits for your dog every year. Part of these checkups should be a thorough eye exam. Although your vet won’t ask your dog to read the letters on a chart to test for perfect vision, he can detect many different types of problems with the eyes and even with the rest of the body simply by taking a good look.

Just like people, dogs can develop cataracts or glaucoma, and both of these problems can be found during a thorough eye exam. Visit the Pet Care section of the Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s SoulÔ website to read more about Common Eye Problems in Dogs.
