And I just found this article... Factors to eliminate Tear Staining - by Tonia Holibaugh - Rhapsody Maltese
This info is a bit more updated from the info I was refering to, and if my regimen is not successful, including diet adjustments and cleansing routines, I will be seeking veterinary treatment for this problem. Mine don't have really bad issues, but if one did I would go right to the vet as it can be a result of a systemic infection in the dog and require oral antibiotics also.

Thanks for sharing. Rosie just finished up oral antibiotics for a viral infection. I don't see where it helped her staining. I think I may mention it to my vet. Better safe than sorry.
