Does Your Sphynx Cat Get Eye Boogers? Here's What To Do!

Does it seem like your Sphynx cat always gets eye boogers? Taking care of them can be easier than you think with the right technique and product. Below, we dive into why your cat gets eye boogers and how to properly take care of them. 

Why Do Sphynx Cats Get Eye Boogers? 

The purpose of eyelashes is to block debris, dust, and other particles from entering the eye. Since Sphynx cats don’t have eyelashes, the particles collect around the eye, creating eye boogers. Don't worry, this is normal for Sphynx cats; however, be on the lookout for any color changes of the eye boogers, thickness, or eye redness. These symptoms aren't normal and could indicate an infection; you should consult your vet to have them examined.

How Often Should You Clean Around Your Cat’s Eyes?

To keep your cat’s eyes healthy and remove eye boogers, cleaning the area around their eyes with a gentle eyewash daily is recommended. 

Recommended Products

For an all-natural product made with organic ingredients, 4-ALL PETS EYEWASH is recommended. This product is used to:

• Gently clean your cat’s eyes.

• Be your go-to daily eyewash.

• Soothe and moisturize the area.

• Protect your cat’s eyes against inflammation, infection, and build-up.

If the daily eyewash is not working, there may be an active viral or bacterial infection which needs a more targeted approach. This is where our Eye Remedy drops come in. They are natural herbal drops formulated to be safe for the eyes, but will kill any infection!

Final Thoughts

While eye boogers are normal for Sphynx cats, washing the area daily will help keep their eyes clean, clear, and healthy. Using a gentle eyewash will help achieve that!
