Great product and results
By SheltieRescue on Oct 15, 2020 Top 500 Contributor
This eye ointment works very well, treating my Shelties eye condition. I give it to him twice a day. My vet’s office charges three times as much as Chewy does for the same product! Glad Chewy has prescription medicines.

My precious Finn suffered a traumatic eye injury at a VERY young age. He will require prophylactic treatment forever. I apply this antibiotic salve twice daily and it’s so soothing for him.

Clears up film on eye
By Micki on Sep 6, 2020
Our boxer had an infection which caused a grey film to completely cover one of her eyes. This medicine is slowly clearing up the infection and she can now see out of that eye again.

Thank you Chewy for offering this product at such a great price (about half of what I paid at the vets office). Your service was also excellent in getting it out to me so quickly.

IT WAS JUST WHAT WE NEEDED!
By BETSY on Apr 27, 2020
This eye treatment was ordered by our vet for our shih tzu eye allergy. Chewy.com processed the order through their pharmacy and we had it in our hands in just a few days. The ointment has worked and the allergies in her eye have cleared up.
