Question

Can I use saline to sooth my dogs eye. She has allergies and I don’t want her to start scratching it.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Regular saline eye drops may help but if she is still scratching at her eyes then there may be something else going on such as an eye infection that may need other medications like antibiotics to help treat. I would take her in to see her vet if she is still bothering her eye(s).
