For dogs such as Bichon Frize, Samoyed, and Baibomei , pure white coat is very important, if there are serious tear marks, it will have a great impact on their appearance. Nowadays, the phenomenon of dog tear stains is also a relatively common problem, so let’s briefly talk about what causes dog tear stains.

Tears are a weakly alkaline transparent liquid, 98.2% of which is water, and the rest is a small amount of inorganic salts and proteins, as well as lysozyme, oleamide, immunoglobulin A, Complement system and other materials. Reddish-brown is the substance that remains after the water has evaporated. Especially in white dogs, the reddish-brown tear glands will look more obvious.

There are many reasons why dogs have reddish-brown tear stains. Dogs usually eat too much meat, that is, too much animal protein intake, which leads to an increase in the protein in their tears; it is also possible that dogs eat too much meat. If it is too salty, it will cause tears to increase, and tear stains will occur. In addition, some people think that dogs usually drink water that contains a lot of minerals, which leads to a high mineral content in their tears, which also causes reddish-brown tear stains after dogs cry.

If the dog’s eyes are inflamed, it will lead to an increase in tears and tear stains. For dogs with tear stains, they should pay more attention to their daily diet and avoid eating too salty food. For best eye care, it is best to drop eye drops every day, and clean the area around the eyes after instilling them, so that the tear stains can be slowly improved.
