Are you wondering if you can give your dog Ocu-Glo Human Formula? Ocu-Glo is one of the top picked vision supplement among dog owners here at VetRxDirect. Ocu-Glo was formulated by veterinary ophthalmologists to help provide nutritional support for the eyes. It features a unique blend of 12 antioxidants including grape seed extract, lutein, B complex vitamins, lycopene, and Omega-3 fatty acids.These antioxidants help combat the negative effects of oxidation, a natural process that causes cell damage over time. This oxidative stress, especially in aging dogs, can to degenerative eye disease like glaucoma and cataracts. Ocu-Glo may also lessen the symptoms of some dog eye diseases.

The canine Ocu-Glo formula comes in liquid gel caps, which can be given whole or split and sprinkled in food. For those with picky dogs, sometimes the gel caps can be difficult to mask with food or impossible to give by themselves.The gel caps also have a bright orange color that may stain the fur around the mouth, especially in lighter colored animals. However, the human labeled Ocu-Glo comes in powdered capsules which people are finding it easier to mix into their dog’s food, versus the liquid. The powder also does not stain like the liquid.  Although it is for humans, it is designed to support eye health just like the canine formula.

Ocu-Glo human contains the same key ingredients as the canine formula: grape seed extract, lutein, alpha lipoic acid, and Omega fatty acids.The Ocu-Glo human contains astaxanthin instead of lycopene (derived from tomato) because people can have allergies to tomatoes, and has a few different vitamins from the canine formula.

If you have a hard time giving your dog Ocu-Glo or dislike the fur stains, the Human Ocu-Glo may be the solution. Like all other nutritional supplements, talk with your pet’s veterinarian before giving it.
