| 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. |

| 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. |

YT 2000 Club Member | 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.

| That's fine if you use your shampoo, it's your dog and your dogs hair. I just want my dogs hair to continue being beautiful. |

| 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 |
