Information About Tear Staining and How to Correct It

Light colored Lhasas, like individuals of many other breeds, often have problems with tear stains. I have provided links to pages where you can find some methods others have used to correct the problem. Suggestions include everything from giving antibiotics, to using bottled water, to adding apple cider vinegar to water, to concocting homemade remedies, and to purchasing commercial remedies. Something HAS to work! Many people are raving about a product called Angel's Eyes.Others swear by Eye Envy.

Check out what Maltese owners do to alleviate tear stains in their breed. Go to Maltese Only and scroll down the left side of the page until you see "Tear Stain FAQ." Click it and you will get some worthwhile information. At the bottom of the FAQ page are links to other articles and information about the problem. I found this to be a very helpful and interesting page. I haven't had much problem with excessive tear staining, but when one of our girls had a white puppy. I was caught totally unprepared. This information helped me a lot!
