| It's in the drinking water Give your dog distilled water to drink instead of tap water. The trap water had minerals that cause the staining and smell. It also helps to produce less tears. This is especially helpful for light colored dogs that have the red face staining. |

| I give Deuce Baby Water. That works with the eye tears too. Less chemicals in the water.

| "I give Deuce Baby Water. That works with the eye tears too. Less chemicals in the water." __________________ Namor- not to be dense.....but what is "baby water " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And I'm sooooo glad that i came across this posting b/c when i was having bottled water delivered and only using that for me and Bella....i would have to clean her eyes once a day and it was just a few "goobers" Ever since i moved I'm just using a water filter pitcher (which i know in sad reality only really takes out some chorine and more for taste).....her poor eyes have been watering / staining / smelling like crazy. My vet tech swears its b/c i "refuse" to trim hair by her eyes" which I've always felt is not the case ....so thank you for the input - I'm going to try a trial w/using only bottled water. Will update you all and see if that helps... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- as an FYI to who started this and asked 1. Chis Christensen "peace kindness" was recc to me - but i haven't used to long enough to see if it helps - will let you know about that product too. Its basically water and colloidal silver to help kill the bacteria. 2. And i agree w/ what someone else wrote that like humans - eyes tear more when dry .....so some simple saline eye drops might help as well - mom's yorkie had horrible problems and her vet suggested this. so if dry eye is the problem - that should help Best, Bella's mom

| You can buy Baby Water aka Nursery Purified Water in the Baby Food aisle of the Supermarket. It comes by the gallon. It's steam distilled so I guess you can just get distilled water. It's used to be mixed with baby formula, cereal and juice. It has fluoride in it so I figure it helps his teeth too. Well anyway I find it controls the eye mess and no matter where we go I keep what he eats and drinks consistent.
