My dog has reddish-brown tear
staining around her eyes. What
can I use to help clean this and is
their any product to prevent it?
There are a number of products available
to help remove or clean the reddish-brown
discolouration around the eyes that is caused
by Epiphora. This happens when there is an
excessive amount of tears flowing around the
eyes or on the face.
To help remove the tear stains you could use
Fido's Tear Stain Remover or a pre-moistened
wipe like Bamboo Eco Eye Wipes.
There are also supplements and powders
available that you feed to your dog which
help prevent the tear staining discolouration
from developing. Products like Angels' eyes or
Glow Groom Tear Stain Remedy are both good
examples of these.
