Hello Friend,
In talking to pet parents such as yourself, I get asked many a pet question.
Just yesterday a friendly traveler called Lucy asked if there was anything she could give for her older poodle with arthritis and cataracts..
I suggested a supplement with antioxidants for eye health, along with nutrients for joint support ( glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM)..these are all in my supplements here

Medical Cure for Cataracts
-----------------------------------------------
In Cataracts, you will see a whitening in the center of your pet’s eye. The lens is the structure which sits in the middle of the eye and focuses light. It will become cloudy, no longer being clear. In most cases you may not notice any changes, except seeing the cloudiness. In other cases you will see that your pet doesn’t see as well at night. In some cases of severe cataract formation your pet will become blind, although this usually only happens in pets with diabetes.
The lens gets infiltrated with inflammatory cells, causing it to become cloudy. This typically happens with age. Your older dog develops a condition called ‘Senile‘ Cataracts. The lens ages, and becomes cloudy. Other common causes of cataracts are diabetes mellitus, and any other condition which produces inflammation in the eye (i.e. such as Glaucoma).
Ocu-GLO Rx is a nutraceutical comprised of 12 natural antioxidants, including grapeseed extract, lutein and omega-3 fatty acids (GLO). Each of these key ingredients has not been available in a combination blend until veterinary ophthalmologists formulated all 12 of them into a natural, single-dose nutraceutical of the highest quality."
The ingredients in Ocu-GLO Rx
The 12 antioxidants in Ocu-GLO Rx act synergistically to support canine eye health. The first three, Grapeseed extract, Lutein/zeaxanthanin, and Omega 3 fatty acids (GLO), are combined in a proprietary blend in the optimal doses for canine eye health.
Grapeseed Extract:
-Potent antioxidant derived from grapeseeds (NOT from toxic grapeskins)
-More potent free radical scavenger than Vitamin C and Vitamin E
Lutein and Zeaxanthin:
-Potent carotenoid antioxidants necessary for protection of the retina
-Decrease the risk and severity of certain retinal diseases and cataracts
-Proven to improve overall immune health (Kim, H. W., B. P. Chew, et al. (2000). Dietary lutein stimulates immune response in the canine. Vet Immunol Immunopathol 74(3-4): 315-327.)
Omega 3 Fatty Acids:
-Essential (required) fatty acids cannot be synthesized in the body
-DHA is delivered to the retinal tissue, where it is incorporated into the photoreceptors (rods and cones) for use in vision physiologic function.

Here's five year old Diamond jealously guarding his stolen ball at dog
park. He's never fast enough to get there first but can always take
advantage of a slip in attention.
Have a great week

P.S. If your dog is early, to middle aged and yet to develop cataracts, then you want to ideally PREVENT them forming in the first place. IF your dog has cataracts now, then consider Ocu Glo Rx
P.P.S. This is what you can use to prevent them.. ( also it can work for cats)..
