Mejane, what type of dog do you have?

With bichons, we work to identify the source of the staining, and deal with it that way. Most of us avoid Angel Eyes precisely because it includes an antibiotic.

Some of the common causes of eye stains:
- water. Use filtered water (I use a Brita pitcher) or distilled water
- protein. A commercial food too high in protein can result in stains. Bichons do well on a food of 25% or lower in protein.
- grains. Most grains are not digestible by dogs: corn, wheat. Use a grain free food. In some dogs, you can supplement with oats or rye, but many dogs can't even tolerate these 2 grains.
- food coloring. And while additives are the common one, bichons generally need to stay away from brown rice - a natural coloring, but it comes through
- for particularly tough stains, which you can't figure out, if they are red it is a yeast infection; a vet visit can get the antibiotics needed to clear it up.

More and more bichon owners are finding we just have to fed a raw diet to cope with the stains, and skin allergies. While I am not feeding raw (yet) I do cook most of what my dogs eat. No stains, itchies gone, no more nibbling feet.

Good luck!
