Oh they are so cute when you first get them, the blonde bundles of fur, all fluffy with their bright eyes. But after a while your cute bundle of loving puppy begins to get tear stained eyes. This is common in many toy breeds of dogs, including poodles, cocker spaniels and shih tzus. These breeds are very susceptible to tear stains, which occur when a build-up of water from the eyes discolors the fur beneath them to a brown or red tint. The excessive eye-watering in these breeds is commonly due to the fact that their coarse hair often irritates their eyes. These spots can possibly lead to eye infections. If the area remains damp, bacteria will builds up causing a breeding ground for infections to develop.
There are special eye cleaners made just for dogs to help lessen the tearstains. However, whenever grooming around your dog’s eyes make sure to take extra precaution not to get any solutions into them. Once you’ve removed your dog’s tear stains, you should focus on prevention. There are many dog eye products available that you can add to your pet’s food to prevent the formation of tearstains in the future. If you are uncomfortable removing the tearstains from your dogs’ eyes yourself, have your veterinarian or a professional dog groomer due it for you.
