Don't know if it is the change in food, the probiotics, or the yogurt or the combination. But something seems to be working. Another thing about Angel Eyes is it seems pretty expensive to me. However, I will say that my vet recommended it which surprised me a little. Where I get my dog food sells it and they wanted $75 for the larger bottle. I think it was $35 for the small. Seemed a little steep to me. |
A teaspoon of whole milk Natural yogurt with active bacteria, added to our dogs food in the mornings has been reported to help with tear stain.
My dog has no staining, at all. Can't even say she has teary eyes either and she has yogurt at least four if not five times a week.
I do not feed her any Junk Foods, right no no grains at all and all low glycemic and not too many vegetables, boiled not steamed. (I cook 50% for her). I have her on the Go Naturals Salmon Formula (other 50% of her diet and which does have oatmeal but a small cost to pay in exchange for no fillers, no chemical preservatives or additives and No High Glycemic Vegetables).
Prior to that she was getting gunk in her eyes but still no staining, as I have always fed her yogurt.
When I cut out the high glycemic vegetables, boiled all vegetables and drained well before mashing to mix with her lightly boiled but cooked through protein and changed her kibble to the Go formula that we are using, the changes we pretty much overnight.
Not even one drop of gunk in her eyes the next morning. I am still amazed.
I had also decreased the ratio I was using for cooked vegetables and increased the animal protein. Again, amazing results!
I believe the eye gunk has something to do with the assimilation of foods.
Getting the right balance allows for better use of the nutrients perhaps. .?
Not sure but this is what is working for us to accomplish Zero gunk in the eyes at all.
For the past couple years I have been feeding yogurt and Roxy has never had tear stain after that. Dhe did have some when I first got her.
Huge difference.
