dogs licking each others eyes!!!

Hi there

My working cocker constantly licks both my Bracs eyes. The brac has loose eyes and Jack seems to be obsessed with cleaning them.

I am worried that this might cause infection. Stella has had an infection in her eyes but Ruby's are fine. Just wanted to add that this has only started recently and the infection Stell had was before Jack started the grooming thingy!!

Does anybody elses dog do this?

It seems to be a ritual that all the dogs enjoy!!! Yuck!!!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you
Spettadog

Skye washes Fingals eyes all the time. He's like an old mother hen. He even licks inside his mouth.

It's the role Skye likes and I always put it down to the fact that Fingal is more dominant.

Jake does this to Skye every time we get in from a walk.

Thank God other dogs do this..........

after every walk Princess starts her "grooming" session on Rogue, cleaning every inch of her face. both of them seem very happy with this arrangement. Though i have worried about infections.

Ive lost count of the times people have commented on how clean Rogues eyes are for a Cav!!!!! (if only they knew)
