how to stop eye stains on white dogs

There is a way to get rid of eye stains! Nobody likes to see those redishy brown stains on their dogs eyes, especially as they get bigger and bigger.  even genetic problems aside(irritaion causeing tearing) eye stains are caused by the yeast in the dogs body, so in order to stop the stains you have to stop the yeast.

Where does the yeast come from?
food containing high carbs and low protein(desireable is around 35%). other causes are unfiltered water.


Many people wonder why some dogs and cats eyes water, which causes a stain on the fur just below their eyes. This condition is called epiphora. When the facial hair is wet from excess tearing it is the breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. Not only is it unsightly but may be very irritating to your pet. The staining may also emit a moderate to noticeably strong odor.
Up until now these reddish brown stains due to tear pigments were hard to eliminate completely. Tear staining can be traced to health and diet, as well as genetics. Here are some helpful tips to improve your pets well being:

Keep your Pet Healthy: Have your pet checked at least twice a year by your veterinarian for ear infections and ear mites, gum infections, common yeast or bacterial infections of the eye (especially Red Yeast) and for clogged tear ducts.

Check your Pet’s Diet: Artificial food colorings (dyes), artificial food additives and preservatives, corn, wheat and soy can cause allergies in cats and dogs. These allergies can cause tear stains. Also check for face rubbing, licking of front paws, head shaking, and ear inflammations these are other signs of allergies. Water minerals can also add to tear staining. Use bottled or filtered water in a stainless steel bowl.

How to get rid of eye stains:

you can use products such as Angel eyes which is made out of beef liver and an antibiotic called Tylosin to stop the bacterial infection. If you dont want to use an antibiotic long term then follow these proven tips:

Use bottled or distilled water(The reddish brown color in the stains is from Porphyrin pigments (iron/magnesium) in the stains.)

Add a few drops of apple cider or red cider vinegar to their water( is antibiotic and antifungal-prevents infection)
                                          
give 1.5 tsp a day for 30lb dog of Buttermilk powder or yogurt(contains beneficial bacteria to combat infections)

Choose a food WITHOUT beet pulp in it. 

Dogs on a raw diet(like Winston to the left)
will also not have eyes stains due to the proper balance in the body that raw food provides. ask us for more information!
