Tear Staining Watched a groomer this morning on the Today show. She said if a dog has tear staining, to take a couple drops of distilled vinegar and put it in their water. |
I have heard that too. But don't think I would do it idk |
Vinegar is very good for many uses. I was going to try it, my biewer is the worse with tear staining, but, I only had the dark vinegar, will buy some of the white distilled to try. It would never hurt them, and if it works, to me it's worth trying. It also said on there why not to use regular people shampoo on dogs. She did say after awhile of doing this, and washing out their natural oils, your dogs hair is going to start looking really bad, which I have seen with my sisters yorkie. She used to always use her shampoo on her 13 year old yorkie, there is no more shine to her now. |
I really don't like using thing's That arn't made for dog's Even Then If it's just for look's I don't want to mess with it. |
You use 2 drops in water. I actually just went in and read and it says this will kill fleas on dogs also |
We have used Angel Eyes and have wonderful results. |

This is what we use too. It works great and you dont have to use the recommend amount to get results. I Know some are against it because it can cause high Liver enzymes (???) in some dogs but I havent had any issues with it. I only use it when I see that my dogs are starting to stain agian, I use it for 2 weeks or so every other day and it goes away for a few months. Im going to look into the vinegar idea. I know that vinegar is used in many things and I dont think that it would be harmful to our pets. |
I use my shampoo on my dog and her coat actually looks better then it did before. I just don't see myself spending 10 bucks on dog shampoo if I don't even buy MYSELF shampoo that is that expensive and wouldnt! |

I have to go to the store and get the distilled vinegar, only have the other kind. I am going to try it though |
I've never heard that angel eyes gives dogs high liver enzymes. I just started using angel eyes for my maltese half the recommended dosage. sometime my yorkie gets the food that has the angel eyes in it so I know she's getting some too. she never has goopy eyes though. so the stuff does work. Anyone know where the research came from about high liver enzymes and angel eyes?? I love this site! I'm always learning something! The vinegar might be worth a try. |

yep our breeder said do the peroxide too. which I have but then I have to do that daily and it doesn't always fully take away the tear stains. ( which seem to have gotten worse lately) also we've only ever given our dogs distilled water. For now the angel eyes are working and I'm giving them half the recommended doseage. Hopefully it won't reek havoc on their livers:( |
I use the recommended dose spread out for 6 dogs...so a very minimal amount works...and has not affected any liver panels or blood work. |
A friend of mine in Tennessee is a Maltese breeder and she said that when she switched to a raw food diet (no preservatives etc) for her dogs, the tear staining was gone within a months time and NONE of her white dogs have ever had it again. They're gorgeous and their hair is so shiney. Also, only used distilled water because the excess minerals etc in tap water build up and cause the red yeast. |
You also have to watch the foods you give. Some of them have red dye in them which in turn causes tear staining also |
What is angel eyes and where do you get it,,, thanks:animal-pa |

I use baby shampoo on my puppy (no more tear) and it makes her so so soft and her coat looks awesome as well :) |
Just google Angel Eyes and you will find it. It is added to the food each day. I've been using it for about a week, 1/4 teaspoon 2 times a day on the food. So far I don't see any difference. How long did it take to see a difference? |

I also, feed all natural and use distilled water and for treats they only get dehydrated chicken. ( no added ingredients) As of right now. I am doing all I know to do to keep them healthy and tear stain free. |
Great thread gals...let me know how the distilled vinegar turns out. Snickers has alot of goop lately...drives me nuts. I have noticed when I give him fruits, it get alot of goop in return. I do give him banana and pumpkin daily but not sure if that's the cause. I do give him tap water, but Michigan tap water is some of the best in the world (great lakes) so not sure if I should even go to distilled which I have tried and seen no results. I heard Apple Cider Vinegar helps with tear stains/goop, but if it's distilled, hey! I'll give it a go and try it....I just hope he is not turned off to his water with the new gross taste:p |
I just added two drops of vinager to her water bowl, can't taste it or smell it and it's worked wonders. Seeing is believing, if I didn't do it myself, I never would of believed it would work. The eye gunk is 95% gone.!!!! |

sometimes it can take 3 to 4 weeks. Usually you can see a difference when they are groomed (if you have them groomed regluary). It took almost a month for me to notice anything in my toy poodle, but her staining was really really bad. I have her groomed every 6 weeks so by the time she was groomed she was cleaned up. I noticed Tuckers going away after about 2 weeks. So I guess it depends on the dog. |
I don't know if it works for fleas, we still have about 3 feet of snow on the ground, summer dosen't come here for a looong long time yet. But, wishfull thinking! |
