Cry No More, Little Doggie
You've got the perfect little pup with the cutest face in the world, but if you've been struggling to control those nasty red tear stains that ruin her look and keep both of you unhappy, help is at hand. New products are coming out all the time to help with this ugly condition, and prove that the best way to treat it is with a one-two punch:
1) Find out if there is an underlying cause to the tearing, or the marks will always come back, then treat it from the inside to stop the problem on the outside.
2) Follow this up by topically treating tear trails that are already there. And gone are the days of peroxide and bleaching agents – everything's going natural.
So what does all this mean? First, get your vet to check your baby's tear ducts. If they are faulty, excessive tearing is often the result. A special eye vet may be able to address the problem. It's possible that she could have an inner set of lashes that irritate her eyes and cause them to drain. Your vet can also help with that.
If the tearing can’t be stopped though, look at what is in the tears to cause the hair discoloration in the first place. As one of the most common causes of staining is yeast infection, boosting your dog's immune system can help inhibit bacteria in the tears which in turn causes the infection. Eyemunity is a powder packed full of ingredients to strengthen your dog’s immunity. Totally natural, it contains no antibiotics. The dual-action combo pack contains this great-tasting powder to sprinkle on top of food and state of-the-art eye pads soaked with herbs and botanicals to reduce the existing stains and inhibit bacteria growth. Perfect for you and great to give as a gift! Angels' Eyes also comes in powder form, which you sprinkle on their food, and has been highly successful at removing even the toughest stains.
Eye Envy is another very effective topical treatment. It contains an herbal antibiotic, an anti-bacterial, a cleanser and an astringent. Groomers recommend you wash the troubled area daily with a special grooming shampoo, or wipe with your choice of any of the specially created pads. Let them use their expertise to cut away the hairs that are so close to the eye that they can invade it. Never try that dangerous job yourself! You should also consider giving your dog distilled water to drink – show dogs wouldn’t touch anything else!
You do so much to keep them looking nice. Keeping their eyes clean and healthy, and those awful stains at bay, will make them feel and look younger and brighter, too!
