Tear stain removers |
Ooh this is good to know, thank you for sharing this. I'm always so nervous about using wipes near Billi's eyes but figured I'd try some recently- but I'll prolly go back to using water and cotton balls after reading this. Why take the chance, you know?? |

I always use a warm wash cloth to clean Bentley's eyes every morning. |
I really didnt like the angel eye one that was real popular its an antibiotic and you could build up your dogs immunity to antibiotics then your dog get sick and antibiotics not work. Chachi gets them and good old soap and water works for me |
Thankfully, I've just been using a warm, damp, soft cloth. I admit, though, as a first time small dog owner, small dog eyes gross me out terribly. I am obsessive about his eyes. |
What about the Espree Plum Perfect face wash.. is it bad to use face washes on their face, too? |
YIKES, and I just bought some to. glad I hadn't actually used it yet. wont now. |

What about "Eve envy"? Or NaturVet? The eye envy in particular was interesting because it has a powder you allow to stick to the stain- then wipe it off with the pad. I have been using cotton pads soaked in warm water daily- but Roxie is at that stage where her hair is long enough to get in her eyes- but not long enough to pull up in a top knot yet. She has that red stain starting to form and the water /cotton pad aren;t even making a dent in it. Any suggestions? |

Boric acid (ophthalmic) medical facts from Drugs.com 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: eyebright: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions and Warnings - WebMD 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? |
Here's an article on tear stain removal and prevention from PetMD. They also make the point that you should be sure that any product you apply does not enter the dog's eyes. And don't use any products that contain Tylosin. (It looks like it's been taken off the market in the US, finally.) Sad eyes? How to remove tear stains from your pet?s eyes | petMD |

I've used witch hazel being very careful not to get into the eyes. Good luck. |
