Do you love your animals almost as much as your children? You want that super special portrait of your pooch to be just right, but always struggle when you get that icky green "pet eye" – the animal equivalent of dreaded red eye. The worst part is that even though technology allows us to fix red eye on humans, pet eye – the greenish tint in the eyes of your pets – is still something hard to eliminate. This article will teach you how to get rid of "pet eye' in the photos you take of your dogs/cats/pets.
The simple answer is use natural light!
- Go outside or go near an interior window where that sunshine is streaming in -
- Turn off your flash and go to town.
- Make sure your focus is on your dog's eyes (their noses tend to be where your camera's autofocus will take you).
- Grab a special toy or treat to get your pup's attention and snap away for that flawless shot you've always wanted!

I am impressed, of course, as Mom, I would be anyway, but you are good!
Thanks Mom! You make me smile!
Awesome Job Michelle! Thanks for making my sweet Monty famous! Now I'll have to give you the whole eating river rocks story which apparently got him published in Veterinary text books…and is when he made his initial entrance into fame!!!! Yes, he ate about 150 river rocks coated in bacon grease when he was about 6 months old. Had to have surgery, stay overnight at an emergency vet clinic. Fun stuff!
You're welcome Patti! Thanks for letting me be a part of your lives. Sounds to me like you need to write an article for Blissful Pets on the danger of river rocks. Poor Monty!
Yay Michelle! Those pictures are so good they make me want to run out and adopt a big dog…well, bigger than the one I have.
You rock girlfriend, so proud of you!!!!
Thank you Mary Anne! I bet we could get great shots of Mr. P! And, your kitty cat too!
Great pictures! We are going to have get pics of our dogs taken too.
Thanks Bama! You know I'm up for it! When did your dog turn into dog(s)? Looking forward to it!
Hi Michelle,
Your fame spreads ! Keep up the great work. Unfortunately (ho ho) we don't have any dogs or cats to try out your advice.
Love you,
Your adopted mom
Love the photos! When did you get into pets? I have a new puppy but can't get her to sit still long enough to take a photo. I will remember your advise when I do get the chance.
Beautiful photos, Michelle! Way to go!
Your second doggy picture looks like my Sadie-girl.. Awwww Just awwww…
Great post. Off to see your site!
Thank you all so very much! I hope you all get those perfect pictures (pups or not)!
This is awesome! I have never gotten a picture of my puppy's face.. she always turns around and gives me the tail!
You can do it! I have faith in you! Thanks for stopping by, reading and leaving a note Laura!

Thank you Vik! I've always been a sucker for labs myself.
Wow Michelle! That's Awesome!
As you know my 'baby boy'- Ripley, (He's 6 but he'll always be my 'baby boy'!) and Patti's "sweet Monty" are buddies. So, I guess we can say that "The boys" are famous and now also published! Thanks so much. You are an amazing talent!
Thank you Susan! And, thanks for sharing your beautiful baby with me!
