Tear stained doggie eyes

Well who wouldda thunk? LOL! I know that light colored poodles, mostly toys and minis, have this problem. It has to do with a problem with their tear ducts. One of my apricot toys had watery eyes but I kept the staining to a minimum by keeping his face shaved closely. Of course a shih-tzu shaved like a poodle might look a little funny!

Thanks for that information, Staci. That's a question I had asked, just recently, about cleaning the stains under Mack's eyes!

Cool! Thx so much for the tip.

Bella has horrible tear stains, I just hope I can get these baby wipes over here!

Thanks for the tip, Staci. Alden's mom has a little poodle and she is always trying to keep his eyes clean. I'll have to pass this info along to her. It can't hurt to try it. I think I'll be the good daughter-in-law and take some up to her

I'm attaching a pic of Sammy and you can see how bad his eyes get. Alden and I just love this little guy. He is so cute and so much fun.

Thanks for the tip Staci!! I just went to Wal-Mart. I need to go back. Daisy needs something for her eyes too

Yes, we are rich when we have a pet.
My Cokette gets dark stains under her eyes and she loves when i take a wet cloth and wipe her eyes.
Sometimes she comes wiping her eyes on my pant legs.
Then she loves having her face wiped.
