I have a Maltese and she has pretty bad tear stains all around her eyes, what should be a pure all white dog has brown stains on her face. Any suggestions?? She gets bathed regularly and the stains dont go away.

Answer #1

I trim my puppies tear stains…

first I wash her nose with tear-free baby shampoo and concentrate on that area, gently

And when she’s dry I get scissors and clip CAREFULLY around the area

Answer #2

Clear Tears has worked wonders for me - I used to use the milk of magnesia formula, but got tired of going through the rigamarole. you can look into it a cleartearsonline.com

Answer #3

Answer #4

I have a cockapoo that had brown staining under the eyes, on the mouth and between the legs. Where ever she would lick herself it turned brown. I used Naturally tearfree canine a herbal supplement powder that is 100% Organic. You can purchase it on naturallytearfreecanine@gmail.com. It’s very reasonable and works from the inside out. She is now stain-free. Easy to use just put 1/2 tsp on her food.

Answer #6

my dog get them a lot, my mum has to get a cloth or something &+ hold him down so he dont move his face &+ wipe them with a wet cloth

Answer #7

The stains are the result of the bacteria in the tears metabolising the iron content as it oxidises.

All of the OTC products above are antibiotic based and work by killing the good and bad bacteria.

Safer and healthy alternatives are Angels Eyes at Bichon Hotel and Naturvet tear stain supplement. They oxidise the iron before the bacteria can get to it

Answer #8

I have been using Angels Eyes on my Maltese and it totally cleared up the tear stains.

The lowest price I have found was at http://MalteseEyeStain.com

It was really easy to use I just sprinkle a little bit of it on my dog’s food each day and the stains started to clear up within 2 weeks and now my dogs have clean white faces. :)

Answer #9

I have to be diligent with my buff girls or they will get the stains. I have tried all kinds of “potions” but what works the absolute best is a cotton ball with plain warm water. I wipe the eye area and then follow it with a dry cotton ball. I do this twice a day and I keep the hair trimmed down. It has been the ONLY thing that works!

Answer #10

My mother gives her maltese a teaspoon of plain cream cheese once a week to get rid of the tear stained eyes. She’s only had her puppy for two months and you could notice a difference after the first “serving.” She also uses a washcloth if she is going out with him somewhere. She has only done this a couple of times, some guy at the park told her to and it seems to work great! Plus, Dublin, her dog, loves the cream cheese!

Answer #11

Yes, I use Naturally tearfree canine. It’s easy to use. All you do is put it on your dog’s food once a day for three days the first week. Second week for two days and the third week for one day. It’s the 3-2-1 system. The all natural organic powder works from the inside out. You can get it by naturallytearfreecanine @ gmail .com. Only $14.99 that lasts about 6 months. Hope you like it as much as I do.
