What is Virbac Humigel Protective Lubricating Eye Gel for Cats & Dogs?
Virbac Humigel Protective Lubricating Eye Gel for Cats & Dogs acts like a transparent shield over your pet's eye. This sterile ocular gel, administered in viscous drops, spreads rapidly over the conjunctiva and cornea. It forms an adherent, long-lasting and comfortable protective layer, comparable to an invisible moisturizing film, which prevents the ocular surface from drying out.
Virbac Humigel is used primarily to moisturize, lubricate and protect the corneal surface of dogs and cats. It acts like artificial tears, temporarily replacing a deficient tear film. This function becomes essential when the eye no longer produces sufficient natural tears, exposing the cornea to mechanical and environmental aggression.
The gel limits friction between eyelid and cornea.This reduces discomfort, excessive blinking and redness. It provides prolonged hydration that immediately improves visual comfort. The animal's eyes are brighter, more relaxed and more expressive.
This lubricating and protective eye gel targets dogs and cats suffering from dry eyes, eye irritation or tear film disorders. It moisturizes, lubricates and protects the corneal surface, particularly during anesthesia or prolonged exposure to wind, dust or air conditioning.
In cases of keratoconjunctivitis sicca, the gel compensates for the lack of natural tears. It restores a moist environment essential to corneal health. It helps preserve corneal transparency,reduce irritation and support daily ocular comfort.
Its active ingredients form a stable gel matrix that adheres durably to the eye's surface. This structure ensures long-lasting protection, continuous lubrication and persistent hydration. The gel does not run or sting, and respects the ocular sensitivity of dogs and cats.
This ocular gel acts as a moisturizing barrier, a lubricating cushion, a protective film and a tear substitute. It moisturizes, protects, soothes, secures, supports, preserves and durably improves ocular comfort for dogs and cats.

Expert advice
Veterinarians are increasingly recommending viscous eye gels over simple liquid eye drops. Why is this? Because a gel stays in contact with the cornea longer, like a moisturizing cream, which protects the skin better than a simple thermal water. This difference in texture improves the persistence of hydration and the quality of protection.
In veterinary dispensaries, professionals have noted better compliance with gels, as owners apply the product less often, while obtaining greater comfort for their pet. One customer recently told us that her cat had been blinking much less since she started using the gel every day, concrete proof of its perceived effectiveness.
The current trend in animal health is towards preventive care. Maintaining ocular hydration can help avoid many long-term complications. Virbac Humigel fits perfectly into this gentle, preventive approach, which respects ocular physiology.
