What are Dog Tear Stains?
Tear stains are reddish or brownish marks or stains that are found on the inside corner of a dog’s eyes or just below his eyes. Dog tear stains occur most often on dogs with white or light fur, which makes the stains more visible. Dog tear stains are common in this little white breed, the Bichon Frise, as well as in miniature and toy poodles, Maltese, German shepherds, and chihuahuas. While tear stains in dogs can look pretty nasty, they usually don’t pose a serious health risk. But, because of their appearance, most people will want to find a way to remove the dog tear stains. And, if you have show dogs, it becomes even more important.
