My dog got coffee in his eye and yelped. Should I be concerned?

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Great Pyrenees | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

Good morning, I was letting my dogs out this morning and I had my freshly brewed cup of coffee in hand. I got bumped by the dogs running outside and a little bit of coffee spilled right on Falkor's (great pyrenees) eye. He let out a yelp. I rinsed his eye with clean water. He seems ok, but should I be worried? Thank you

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Falkor. Poor boy! Monitor his eye for now. If you see redness, swelling, or discharge, you will have to take him into a vet immediately. Hopefully, however, he will be ok. Best of luck.
