IMO--food has a ton to do w/ it. Yorkies are known for their leaky eyes, so you just have to stay on top if it w/ cleaning. I tried Angel Eyes for a while on Snick while he was on Acana kibble (a top notch food) and it did help, I was just not comfy giving him a low dose of antibiotics daily. I want my boys to be as natural as possible.

Yep, I did hear that a raw diet helps tremendously, all those "good" enzymes I guess kills off the yeast that causes it I wonder if someone not wanting to go raw, if adding a digestive enzyme suppliment might help?
