Our verdict
Despite the word cat in its name, Nutri-Vet lists this sterile boric acid eye rinse for both dogs and house-cats, and a 4.5 star average across 3,700 reviews shows it performs just as well as Nutri-Vet's dog-branded rinse for gentle everyday cleaning.
Multi-pet households with both dogs and cats who want one sterile rinse for gentle daily eye cleaning and mild tear stain reduction across species.

You want a product labeled exclusively for dogs, since this one's branding and warranty description are cat-focused even though the target audience covers both dogs and cats.

Overview
['This 4 oz bottle is built around a boric acid sterile solution designed to gently cleanse the eyes and surrounding tissue, removing debris, pollen, and mucus while relieving irritation. Nutri-Vet markets it as a sensitive ophthalmic flush, and despite the Cat Eye Rinse name, the target audience keyword on the listing covers dogs as well as house-cats.', "The directions mirror Nutri-Vet's dog-branded rinse: remove excess matter from the corners, apply 2 to 3 drops per eye, and use it daily to cut down on irritation from dust, pollen, and ragweed. It's also called out for helping reduce tear stains over time.", "At $8.50 for 4 oz, it's priced almost identically to Nutri-Vet's dog-labeled rinse, and with 3,700 reviews and a 4.5 star average plus 2,000 bought last month, it's clearly seeing steady use in dog households too, not just with cats."]

Performance notes
The boric acid based sterile solution is formulated the same way as Nutri-Vet's dog-branded eye rinse, aimed at gentle daily cleaning and tear stain reduction rather than treating an existing infection, so the cat branding doesn't change what the formula actually does for a dog's eyes.
