bro edder, true, it's not easy to be dedicated enough to do all that everyday. I started out with Eye Envy and still it didn't help, cos my maltese pup's tear glands are just way too active.
Went on to use powder as well, but I could only apply it once a day, and it wasn't good enough.
Now starting to use Shiny syrup, though I'm inclined to stop using it eventually...heard it aint good for my boy.
