Animal Eye Condition Information

Even more so than us humans, cats and dogs rely heavily on their vision to survive. When an animal’s eyes start to suffer due to damage from disease or infection, it can affect their day-to-day behavior and habits in numerous ways. If left untreated, many feline and canine eye conditions can cause permanent damage that will drastically alter your pet’s life.

If you suspect that your pet may be suffering from an eye condition, it is important that you contact your local animal eye care specialist as soon as possible to schedule an examination. Animal Eye Associates of Florida can help diagnose and treat common eye conditions that affect our furry (and not-so-furry) family members. Contact them now to set up an appointment.
