Ocu-GLO came up when you started looking for something to help his eyes. Your dog has other ideas about gelcaps, and you are wondering whether a chew he would actually eat can do the job.
Quick answer: Vision Support Bites print the exact amount of every active: lutein 6 mg, astaxanthin 1 mg, beta-carotene 1.5 mg and omega-3 DHA 100 mg per two chicken chews, made for dogs 7 and up. Ocu-GLO puts its lutein, grapeseed extract and omega-3s inside a 175 mg proprietary blend, so you cannot see how much lutein or DHA is in each gelcap, and it lists no astaxanthin. For a senior who treats pills as a fight, a chew from your hand is the easier daily habit, and your first purchase is covered for 90 days from delivery.

The short version: Vision Support Bites show you every dose, add astaxanthin, come as a chew and carry a 90-day guarantee on your first purchase.
What a proprietary blend means for your dog
A proprietary blend lists one total weight for a group of ingredients, not the amount of each. Ocu-GLO's GLO blend is 175 mg per gelcap, shared between grapeseed extract, lutein and omega-3s. How much of that is lutein, and how much is DHA, is not on the label.
That matters when the whole point is a daily dose. With Vision Support Bites you know your dog gets 6 mg of lutein, which concentrates in the retina and helps filter blue light, and 100 mg of DHA, which supports the tear film, eye moisture and long-term visual function, in every two-chew serving. You can show the label to your vet, compare it with anything else on the market, and know exactly what you are paying for.
Why a chew is easier than a gelcap
A gelcap is a pill. Plenty of senior dogs turn a daily pill into a negotiation: hidden in cheese, found, spat out, tried again.
A chew is a treat. Two chicken chews from your hand, with or after a meal, and the routine is done. Consistency is what eye nutrition needs, because you judge it over 90 days of daily use, not a week. A dose your dog looks forward to is a dose that actually happens.
Who should choose Vision Support Bites?
- A senior with early, age-related changes: a hazy look, hesitation at dusk or on the stairs, bumping into furniture, missing dropped treats. Vision Support Bites, daily, for 90 days.
- A breed with a known eye risk: start the daily routine early and keep up the vet checks. See if your dog is on the list in dog breeds prone to eye problems.
- A dog who fights pills: the chew goes down as a treat.
- You want to know exactly what you are paying for: every active printed by the milligram, plus astaxanthin for aging eye cells.
How to run a fair 90-day trial
Whichever supplement you choose, run it the same way, so you are judging the supplement and not the week.
- Write down today's baseline. Dusk walks, stairs, catching treats, how confidently he moves through familiar rooms.
- Give it daily with food. Skipped days make it impossible to tell whether anything helped.
- Do not stack the two. Ocu-GLO and Vision Support Bites overlap on lutein and omega-3s, so pick one.
- Review at day 90 against the same list.
See your vet sooner for anything sudden, red or painful. If the first thing you noticed was trouble in the dark, with daytime vision fine for now, ask about progressive retinal atrophy: it starts with night blindness and needs a diagnosis. If your vet has already prescribed a supplement for a diagnosed condition, follow that plan. For the everyday causes of a cloudy look, read why are my dog's eyes cloudy?
Give his eyes what they run on
His eyes run on a few nutrients his body cannot make: the pigment that shields them from glare, the antioxidant that cleans up daily wear, the fat that keeps them wet, the vitamin he sees in the dark with. The only way they get in is what he eats. Two chicken chews a day carry them in, through his blood, with no pill to hide in cheese. It supports the eye; it does not clear a cataract.
- Retina support in bright light. Lutein 6 mg, from marigold, concentrates in the retina and helps filter blue light.
- Back-up for aging eye cells. Astaxanthin 1 mg, from algae, gives antioxidant support where the daily wear happens.
- Comfortable, moist eyes. Omega-3 DHA 100 mg, also from algae, supports the tear film and eye moisture.
- Everyday eye health. Beta-carotene 1.5 mg supports normal eye health and antioxidant protection.
Give 2 to 4 chews a day depending on your dog's weight (the chart is on the jar and the product page), with or after a meal.
Your first purchase is covered for 90 days from delivery, any pack size. Not happy, email support@ocupetlabs.com for a full refund of the product price, opened or empty jars included.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ocu-GLO or Vision Support Bites better for a dog with cloudy eyes?
For daily support you can actually measure, Vision Support Bites: lutein 6 mg, astaxanthin 1 mg, beta-carotene 1.5 mg and omega-3 DHA 100 mg printed per two chews, in a chicken chew he takes as a treat, with your first purchase covered for 90 days from delivery. Ocu-GLO lists its lutein and omega-3s inside a proprietary blend and lists no astaxanthin. Neither treats cataracts, and an eye that clouds over quickly needs a vet first.
How much lutein is in Ocu-GLO?
Vision Support Bites list 6 mg of lutein per two-chew serving. Ocu-GLO lists lutein as part of a 175 mg GLO proprietary blend with grapeseed extract and omega-3s per gelcap, so the exact lutein milligrams are not stated on the label.
Does Ocu-GLO contain astaxanthin?
Vision Support Bites do: 1 mg of astaxanthin per two chews, for antioxidant support of aging eye cells, alongside lutein 6 mg, beta-carotene 1.5 mg and DHA 100 mg. Ocu-GLO lists no astaxanthin on its label.
Can I give Ocu-GLO and Vision Support Bites together?
There is no need. Vision Support Bites already cover lutein, astaxanthin, beta-carotene and DHA, and the two overlap on lutein and omega-3s, so choose one and give it every day for 90 days. If your vet has prescribed a supplement for a diagnosed eye condition, follow that plan and ask before changing anything.
Is OcuLabs the same company as Ocu-GLO?
No. OcuLabs is a separate brand, founded in New Zealand and sold only at ocupetlabs.com, with every Vision Support Bites dose printed on the label. Ocu-GLO is made by Animal Necessity, and the two companies are not affiliated.
Ocu-GLO is a trademark of Animal Necessity and is not affiliated with OcuLabs. Ocu-GLO figures come from the manufacturer's published label as reviewed in September 2026; check the current label before you buy. General information for dog parents, not veterinary advice. If your dog's eye turns red or painful, or anything changes suddenly, see your vet today.
