How can I remove the discoloration around my white dog's eyes and mouth?

Answer 1

Reddish or brownish discoloration around a white dog's eyes and nose is quite common and normal. It's caused by porphyrinsdpigments found naturally in dogs' tears and saliva, as well as in other body fluids. Unfortunately, these stains are hard to remove. There are several grooming products available to whiten pet fur; they may help somewhat. You also can ask your pup's groomer what he uses to keep fur white. Bathing your dog's face regularly may help as well. Most likely none of these options will remove the stains completely; they're simply part of having a beautiful white dog.

White Discoloration Under Eyes

Answer 3

I trim the discoloration around the eyes. Change the dog food to one without food coloring to avoid discoloration around the mouth. I also use Baby Wipes around the mouth.

Answer 4

It is natural and happens to many dogs. Go to Pet's Mart and in the grooming section they have probably 5 or 6 different kinds of sprays etc to clean this up. If it is on their beard area or paws though it could be a sort of yeast infection. Try the OTC sprays and if it doesn't clear up take it to the vet and see what they say.

Answer 5

Most pet stores carry types of eye wipes and other tear and fur stain removers in the dog grooming section.

Answer 6

I have also read that if you use a Little bit of Vasaline (a very small amount) on the fur under eyes and mouth that it can help prevent the staining.
