Eyebright is an herbal extract that has been used for hundreds of years, but it may or may not be safe. You can check the uses and side effects in humans on the WebMD website:

In my opinion, it's probably safe, but I'd avoid getting it into the dog's eyes, just in case.

The Naturvet Tear Stain Supplement is a chew that you give to your dog. I think the ingredients are harmless, but I have no idea how effective it is.


Didn't realize the second was a chew. I think I want to avoid that. In another thread- someone said they made a paste of Baking soda and water to apply to stain- then wiped it off with a warm water soaked cloth.


Any thought on that?
