Angel Eyes, a product administered daily to dogs and cats (especially the white coated) who have eye tearing that stains their faces, contains antibiotics. Call me crazy, but hasn’t there been a global push to stop excessive/routine use of antibiotics to relieve the problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics for many years now? Doctors have even voiced their opposition to the sale and overuse of antibacterial agents instead of soap. Every time we turn around it seems we are creating superbugs and mutating diseases. Now we are inflicting these problems on our dogs, perhaps unknowingly, with products like Angel Eyes.
Dr. Patricia Khuly brought up this product and the topic on Dolittler, a vet blog. She points out that flowing tears on a dog means something medically. Treating symptoms, and with an antibiotic without benefit of a diagnosis and prescription from a vet should be criminal. But it isn’t. Why? Because Angel Eyes is described by its maker as a “supplement”, and we know supplements are unregulated. In her own words:
“Never mind that tears can run down faces because eyes are misshapen. Never mind that the presence of excessive lacrimation is often evidence of disease. We have a cure for what ails you, suggests Angel Eyes, the look of sickliness is all but erased by our magic pixie dust.
God forbid we should actually explore the problem behind excessive tearing and its indelible staining…lest we find that our pets are afflicted by the genetic anomalies, ophthalmic diseases and/or poor hygiene that too often lead to a feline and canine “raccoon-eyed” appearance.
But the worst part is NOT that Angel Eyes is a quick fix to a basic problem of poor ocular conformation or a variety of other ophthalmic diseases. And it’s NOT that the presence of a product like Angel Eyes allows for breeders of Maltese dogs and Persian cats, among others, to continue to breed for unhealthy deformities and disease.
The real problem? Most users of Angel Eyes have no idea what they’re offering their pets by way of aesthetic maintenance.”
The next time you take your pet to the vet, if they don’t ask, tell them about all the different products and supplements you are giving your dog and/or cat. That way they know what questions to ask, and you’ll be sure about your furry one’s true state of health.

Hi this is good page and articles. I will bookmark them. Besides antiobiotic , please also view this site and spread the word about this product Jer High. The manufacturers are doing nothing about it. Many dogs and pets have been hospitalised taking this treats. My 2 shih tzus are one of them. I nearly lost them in July because of this treat. They vomitted blood. TQ

Although the likes of Angels Eyes use the word supplement this does not make their products legal.
Tylosin is a Prescription Only Medicine, unless being used a a feed stuff for cows, pigs and poultry. Only the injectable liquid has a Marketing Authority for dog use, all other forms may only be used under the direction of a vet "off label".
The claims that Angels eyes is legal because it has a small amount of Tylosin is false. The quantity is irrelevant.
The product is illegal- period.
The use of it without a prescription is illegal- period.
The sale of it to an owner without a prescription is illegal- period.
The FDA should be taking the lead here….
It is concentrated Liver – falls more in the realm of Macrobiotic.
It does not take near the amount as per the directions on the bottle. You can use 1/4 or less of the amount called for. This amount helps enough if you add keeping your pet clean and – trim around eyes, keep ears clean/hair free, keep teeth cleaned – professionally if needed.
High concentrations of Angels Eyes can cause problems. But smaller amounts plus common sense should be ok if your pet is healthy. Little bit of liver here and there is good for every one.
This red stain is over growth of yeast caused by the animals fur being wet from tearing, drinking, and some even get it on their feet (Some animals play in their water bowls) – seems one would not want too much of this on their pet either. Like noted before – use common sense.
Also, if your pet is teething – this will cause more eye tearing. Tearing can clear as they grow older; especially if you help out as a responsible pet owner.
