If you own a white dog then you may have noticed that your dog has some leaking around the eye area and maybe some reddish brown eye staining that is occurring.
I have 5 white Maltese dogs and I have a lot of experience with white dog tear stains.
When I got my first Maltese puppy, I noticed that my cute little puppy had tear stains around her eyes and so I checked with my veterinarian to find out what was going on. I found out that Maltese dogs have a tendency toward eye stains as do many other dog breeds. Okay, so now what do I do? I got permission from my vet to try several tear stain solutions and I will share a few here that might help you too.
Tip 1 - It helps your dog to keep their faces clean and dry. When I was first dealing with white dog tear stains I washed my puppy's face every day. After cleaning make sure the area is thoroughly dry.
Tip 2 - Take a close look at the food your dog is eating along with the water that they drink. In some cases there are dyes in the food which can actually exacerbate the tear staining further. One solution is to actually prepare the food yourself using only natural ingredients and allow them only to drink bottled water.
While the 2 tips above may help - the next one is the one that has worked best for my dogs.
Tip 3 - This is the only method I use now because it is so easy and it works for all 5 of my dogs to keep their faces clean, dry and beautifully white. I use this special all natural powder and mix it in with my dog's food or water. And within about 2 weeks the draining from the eyes stopped and after trimming away the stained hair as it grew out my Maltese were beautiful and no longer had eye stain problems. So this is now my favorite way to battle those eye stains - with 5 Maltese I needed a simple, one step, all natural fail-safe way that works.
