Dog Tear Stain – An Easy Solution to Dog Tear Staining that Works!
Does your pet have some rust colored stain on their face around their eyes or around their mouth?
My Maltese had dog tear stain all over its face and I was very concerned.
Not only was there a lot of dark brown or dark reddish tear staining on his little face, he also had a bad smell coming from the stained area. It was awful.
He went from a cute little puppy to this nightmarish looking, bad smelling little dog and that was the pits. The real bummer was that my dog now looked like he had a hygiene problem but really overall he was clean except for those darn dog tear stains.
I took him to the vet and he said that it is common for Maltese dogs along with many other breeds to have tear stain problems due to their bone structure and their genetic predisposition to extra tearing from their eyes.
The other breeds of dogs and cats that often suffer from tears stains are: Bulldog, Terrier, Bichon Frise, Chihuahua, Coton de Tulear, Havanese, King Charles Cavaliers, Lhapsa Apso, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Poodle, Pug, Saint Bernard, Schnauzer, Sharpei, Shih Tzu, Spaniel, Westie, Devon Rex, Exotic Shorthairs, Himalayans, Persians, Ragdolls, and Scottish Folds.
The extra release of tears causes a wet area around their eyes, nose and mouth and this wet warm space becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. That bacteria causes the awful sour smell that emanates from the stained area and it also causes the awful stained look.
After much searching I found this fantastic dog tear stain remover that really works and is so easy to use. Now my Maltese face and coat are beautiful and white again!
