Hi all, I am wondering if any of you have used the Angel Eyes for tear staining.

My dog's eyes tear a lot. I bought a bottle of the Angel Eyes, but then I did research on the ingredient Tylosin as tartrate and found out that it is a freakin antibiotic! I really don't want to give her an antibiotic every day. You are supposed to use it every day for like 3 months, then cut it down to 4 x a week, then down to like once a week.

Everything I have been reading about repelling fleas, ticks, heartworm, etc., etc., says to keep your dog healthy by feeding excellent food, no unnecessary vaccinations and medications, including antibiotics. I am VERY against medications for myself or my dog (unless absolutely necessary), so I am really hesitant about using the Angel Eyes. But then again, I read that the tear staining causes yeast on the fur which isn't good either. I have tried to wipe her eyes (she HATES me going near her face - so it is a struggle), but it doesn't really help.

Does any have any suggestions on any other products that might work? How about a product called Tearlax?? It is supposed to be 100 percent natural and safe, but I don't know if the "tear stain products review" website is just a scam for the Tearlax product.

Any feedback on the Angel Eyes or any other products is very welcome!!

Thanks.
