There is, by all accounts, a mysterious language that is known exclusively by doggo parents. We presently can't seem to remember ever coming across such an elaborate discussion on eye crusts as this one.

But, hey, there is always a first time for everything, right?! Doggo owners definitely have a ton of things they can relate to while going through this lovably odd thread.

But then, let’s dig into what this thread is all about. The eye crust is a peculiarity that we are certain you know all about.

It happens to us all, and every now and then, it happens to our dogs (in an extreme way some of the time). For some of us, once we wake up and our hands find their way to our face, we normally take them out.

You may or may not know, but tears keep our eyes healthy; they give sustenance, oxygen, and hydration to the eye's external layers and eliminate trash from the eye's surface. Not just that, tears empty this trash out through the tear ducts situated at the inward corner of the eye.

In some cases, the debris tends to accumulate toward the side of the eye, normally called eye gunk, goop, goobers, or as we all know it, crust. A small amount of light brown crusts is normal and is usually discovered in the morning, shortly after a dog awakens.

So their eyes ought to be clear, open, and liberated from this crust for the rest of the day. Below is how this discussion started out in the first place.

This is how the thread started out - Introduction

And the short story follows...

What's more, doggo owners, being the caring, sympathetic people that they are, feel a sense of urgency to rid their doggos of this peculiarity. After all, if dog owners do not make it happen, then their doggos likely will, and it will be on top of their furniture.

Dog owners wasted no time in responding, as the post received over 1K upvotes and more than 200 comments. We’ve gathered some of their most upvoted comments, so keep scrolling and check them all out.

My experience at a restaurant patio

Picking out her eye boogies and what I get in return

This dog now cleans his eyes after he caught on to how it's done

How can someone just leave a booger on their dog's eyes???

I wipe mine off every morning

It’s total love and affection for me. This Reddit thread goes to show just how much doggo owners care for their furry companions.

They make sure they are always cared for and that they look their very best, and we love to see it. So make sure to share this post with someone today so they too can be enlightened.
