How to take care of the white brother 💗

Under-eye sugar stains or tear stains in dogs (especially light-colored or furry breeds) are caused by the accumulation of bacteria and yeast when moisture accumulates for a long time. Care not to cause these stains can be taken with 5 main methods.

🗣 advice

1. Keep wiping daily cleaning

The most effective way is to prevent dry stains from grinding.

Use a clean water-plated cotton pad or a dedicated tear stain remover, gently wipe the eye and cheek groove at least 2 times a day (morning-evening).

Always wipe dry: After wiping clean or after the younger drinks water, a light mop of dry tissue should be used to reduce moisture, because moisture is the main culprit that causes mold and yeast.

2. Trim the hair around the eyes

If the hair in the head of the eye is so long that it pricks the eye, it causes irritation and encourages more tears than usual.

Slowly cut off the excess hair, or take it to a dog hair cutter to help clear the face, to reduce the accumulation of tears.

3. Choose a hygienic water cup

Turn it into a ceramic or stainless steel cup: Plastic cups often have small scratches, which are deposits of bacteria that can affect eye health.

Use clean drinking water: Drinking filtered or bottled water, instead of highly mineralized tap water (such as magnesium, or iron), reduces the amount of substances in tears that cause dark stains.

4. Modify food and supplements

Some foods with a mixture of synthetic colors, preservatives, or Grain can cause a lot of allergies and tears.

Trying switching to a Grain-Free recipe or a recipe that reduces inflammation may help, including using supplements that contribute specifically to reducing tear stains.

5. Latent health check

If there are abnormal tears, even after cleaning, there may be medical causes, such as:

Clogged tear ducts: makes tears unable to drain down naturally

Disorders of the eyelids: e.g., stacked lashes (Distichiasis)

Dust and Allergens: If you are in a dusty place or have a fan to blow directly, it will bring more tears.

Caution: Bleach or non-pet products should not be used to wipe the eye area absolutely, because they can cause severe corneal inflammation or irritation.

🗣: And most importantly, try not to stress the dog because of stress. When the dog is stressed, the body will secrete the hormone Cortisol, which affects the immune system and can cause more tears than usual. In addition, stress often causes the dog to behave strangely, such as

Scratching or rubbing the face more often: Causing potential eye irritation

Lick the paw: Stress-draining behavior that affects overall hygiene.

Panting: Panting often from stress causes the face and eyes to become so hydrated that the body has to produce tears to compensate.
