Thankfully though, when a dog has watery eyes, it doesn\u2019t mean that anything has hurt them, but there are plenty of reasons why this could happen. Let\u2019s find out what they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-allergies\">Allergies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever woken up on a late spring morning, when all of those blossoms are in bloom, it\u2019s quite possible that you may also have an inkling that in a few minutes, your eyes will start streaming with hay-fever. Well, dogs get hay-fever too in a way. Like us humans, dogs have allergies and pollen, along with dust, are two of the most likely culprits and both of these can cause your dog\u2019s eyes to run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some foods can cause allergies too, but you\u2019ll be happy to know that at <a href=\"http:\/\/tails.com\">tails.com<\/a> we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/gb\/diet\/hypoallergenic-dog-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hypoallergenic dog food<\/a> recipe to help out any pets who might suffer from any common allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that some breeds of dog are more prone to crying than others. To explain some of the reasons for this, here\u2019s a short video from our head vet, Sean McCormack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why do my dog\u2019s eyes water?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HwrGtlbTZy8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we see our pet pooch\u2019s eyes watering, it\u2019s a natural thing to be worried as we\u2019d associate that sort of thing with crying and that\u2019s something we do when we\u2019re upset or injured.
