How to Naturally Remove Tear Stains from Dogs
Removing tear stains from your dog may feel like a challenge, but with the right approach and consistent effort, it is achievable. Eye Envy offers a natural solution for tear stain removal, providing effective and lasting results. However, it is essential to follow the correct process to ensure success.
Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Tear Stains
1. Deep Clean the Area
The first step is to thoroughly clean the area around your dog's eyes. For a fresh start, consider professional grooming to remove any previous product build-up.
At home, you can use IGroom Tearless Facial Shampoo, a gentle yet effective cleanser. Apply the tearless shampoo, let it sit for five minutes, and rinse to remove dirt.
2. Regular Grooming
Long hair around your dog’s eyes and face can trap moisture and irritate the eyes, leading to excessive tearing. Regularly trim the fur around your dog’s eyes and mouth to reduce irritation.
For safety, rely on a professional groomer or use clippers with guards. Avoid using scissors, as accidents can easily occur.
3. Daily Maintenance
A consistent daily routine is crucial to keeping tear stains at bay.
-
Gently wipe the corners of your dog’s eyes, nose, and mouth with a pet-safe wipe or a warm cloth.
-
For an extra cleaning boost, use Eye Envy Tear Stain Remover Wipes to address the source of staining.
-
Prevent moisture build-up with Eye Envy Tear Stain Remover Powder, which keeps the area dry and protected.
4. Identify & Eliminate Causes
Tear stains often result from underlying issues like diet, water quality, or allergens.
-
Feed your dog a balanced diet tailored to their breed. Avoid table scraps, which can cause digestive issues and affect tear production.
-
Use filtered water for drinking instead of tap water, which may contain minerals like iron that can worsen stains.
-
Ensure your dog’s food and water dishes are clean and sanitized regularly. Adding a spoonful of apple cider vinegar to your dog’s water can help prevent bacteria.
5. Consult Your Vet if Necessary
If daily maintenance and natural remedies don’t resolve the issue, it’s time to consult a vet. Tear stains could result from medical conditions like inverted eyelids (entropion), yeast infections, or other eye-related concerns. Addressing these issues can significantly reduce excessive tearing and staining.
