Tear Stain Solutions And Eye Wash Products
Many eye care products that are designed to wash, flush and cleanse debris out of the eye are also designed to help
remove or prevent unsightly tear stains too. However, there are also several products that are not designed to cleanse the
eye so much as they are just designed to help remove eye stains or prevent the discharge that creates it. There are also
supplements that can be taken internally to help with stain removal.

Possible Causes Of
Stains Around The Eye
Pesky tear and eye stains in dogs and cats can be a common problem in white and smaller animals
such as bichons, poodles and maltese. And cats can have tearing issues too.
Tearing and the stains and moisture it can leave behind can leave an unsightly discoloration, a gooey mess,
an unfavorable odor, even a breeding ground for yeast, bacteria and fungus. The problem can be
troublesome to show dogs who always have to look and smell their very best.
The cause of tear stains can
come from several sources. Excess tearing can leave the fur around the eyes wet and vulnerable to a
reddish-brown yeast which creates the stained appearance. It is also possible that your pet's tear ducts are
blocked or closed entirely and may require irrigation or even surgery to fix. Some believe that certain animals and
breeds may have a genetic predisposition toward tear duct problems, tearing and eye stains. As is often the
case when selecting a new puppy prospective owners may wish to take a look at the parents to see what kind of
condition their eyes appear to be in before taking their new puppy home.
We've even heard that mineral water can cause stain like appearances on the
face, a situation that is easily treated by giving your pet purified or bottled water low in minerals.
Health issues such as eye, sinus and ear infection, disease, allergies, even fleas can also cause the eyes to water.
Of course irritants such as dust, debris, pollen, etc. can cause the eyes to water.
Tiny hairs around the eye can also poke at the area and act as an irritant.
Something interesting, puppies are known to tear more when teething. When this is the case you may wish to avoid
medications that could be detrimental to a young dog or those that could stain developing teeth.
And last but not least, what your pet
eats may have an influence. Foods with additives, preservatives, food coloring, even specific otherwise healthy
ingredients such as beets may be the culprit. Pets can also develop allergies to certain ingredients in foods that
can cause ear and sinus infections or watery eyes. An improper PH balance caused by food or other sources
can also cause tearing.

Treatment And Prevention
There are options to help prevent and treat eye stains. Some pet owners prefer to attack the problem
internally - this would include being selective about the food, treats and supplements you choose, even the water
they drink. There are a few supplements such as Angel Eyes that are designed to help specifically with staining issues.
The supplement angel eyes is formulated to help prevent the growth of red yeast around the eyes. Where others such as
I-Stain focus on ingredients aimed at providing beneficial nutrition to fight the problem. I-stain
for both dogs and cats contains natural ingredients such bioflavonoids and probiotics to fight tearing. And
Vet Classics has cranberry extract, vitamin c and marshmallow root to solve the problem.
The point is that good nutrition and a proper diet can have a positive impact. This would include avoiding
water rich in minerals and choosing and avoiding specific ingredients in foods and supplements,
and avoiding artificial coloring, additives, preservatives, chemicals and ingredients
that your pet may be allergic too. Food allergy testing may be helpful in
identifying which food ingredients your pet should avoid. Determining the cause can go a long way toward prevention.
Keeping the eyes clean, free of debris and irrigated is helpful as well. Keeping pollens and little hairs washed out is important too.
There are a wide selection of wipes,
irrigating, wash and flush meds
available on the market today, including all natural, vitamin rich or herbal solutions and many that are free of alcohol,
chemicals, artificial ingredients, drugs or antibiotics.
As always you should visit with your veterinarian to make sure your pet does not have a tear duct
condition, an undiscovered disease or other health problem that could be the primary cause. Your veterinarian may
even end up suggesting a medication such as an antibiotic or other med to help prevent
allergies, yeast and fungus, or a variety of potential infections including those of the sinus and ears.
Ear infections can have a secondary effect when it comes to staining, so keeping the ears clean and healthy can
be quite helpful. Allergies can lead to both ear infections and watery eyes so an antihistamine or food allergy
testing may go a long way toward preventing problems.
If the problem is bad enough you may wish to seek the
advice of a veterinarian that specializes in ophthalmology.
There are products designed to help treat and remove the stains after they have occurred, however, the results may
not be as satisfactory as many pet owners would hope. There are also home remedies that can be found online, some of which
may or may not work or may or may not be hazardous to your pet. The safety of your pet should always come first.
You will want to be extra careful when working around your
pet's eyes, subsequently we advise clearing the use of any stain removal product or formula with your veterinarian.
