Summary: So many beautiful dogs look completely perfect.... Except for a commonly seen problem around the most viewed part of their face - the tear stains underneath a dog's eye! Product innovations have been developed to help clear up this undesirable problem. The stains around the dog's eyes are generally not harmful. We discuss how you can clear this up.

Most people love white fluffy dogs but HATE the reddish-brown or black under the eyes of their dog. This discoloration is from tear stains. Fortunately now there are several products on the market that take care of the staining problem and are often used by professional dog groomers. When choosing a tear stain remover, choose one that does not have alcohol or bleach in it as these are eye irritant and can cause more tearing in your dog.

Since all dogs are different you may have to shop around to find the right product for your dog. It may be refreshing for you to know that you’re not the only dog owner who has the eye staining problem. The good news is that there is help.
