Answer 1

All dogs with prominent eyes have this problem. I use a great chemical free product and order over the net because you cannot get it in the pet stores. It is Eye Envy and i will attach the questions and answers from the site I order from. You have to be careful who you order from because this product has no perservatives and a 3-4 month shelf life. The lady who runs this site is terrific and I personally would not order from anyone else. Here are the questions and answers and the link to her site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What causes excessive tearing and staining:
A: Staining can be caused by a variety of things:

Clogged or Shallow Tear Ducts: Studies indicate that 20-25% of small dogs and cats are born with closed of shallow tear ducts. Tears overflow because there the eyelid space is not deep enough to contain them.
Excessive Tearing: When the face hair is wet from excessive tearing, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast infections (AKA: Red Yeast, which causes deep reddish-brown stains); Low grade bacteria infections may also cause excessive tearing.
Cutting Teeth: Cutting teeth may cause changes in the head & mouth structure of your pet, placing pressure on the tear ducts.
Irritation & Allergies: Some animals get hair or eyelashes into their eyes causing irritation. Many breeds are susceptible to allergies. Shampoos and other chemicals can also irritate their eyesSome foods cause allergic reactions; animals may also build an allergic reaction over time to a type of food.
Water: Water with high mineral levels causes staining
Food & Treats: Diet can play a significant role in tearing. Many commercial foods contain additives, preservatives and food coloring. This could lead to staining.
Fleas: Fleas survive in moisture, which they get from the eye or moth area. This could cause irritation and in addition red stains left behind may be from flea feces. These are just a few reasons. There are MANY more!!
Q: What is Eye Envy so different that all the other products that I've bought and don't work?
A: Eye Envy works at the true problem, a bacteria infection. Eye Envy contains a cleanser, an astringent (to dry the area) and herbal flower extract (acts as a natural antibiotic) and an antibacterial.

Eye Envy is a topical tear stain remover. Other products are often masked as palatable supplements, taking months to work and requiring your pet to ingest antibiotics (e.g. tylan, tylosin as tartrate, collidal silver).

Q: What if I've used bleach or peroxide to clean the area around the eyes?
A: Bleach/Peroxide make the hair shaft very pourous, causing the stain to set into the hair. Eye Envy will only lighten the areas previously damaged by bleach or peroxide, but all regrowth will be clean.

PLEASE do not use peroxide, bleach or woolite on your animals.

Answer 2

I have the same problem. My Chihuahua's 2 with white fur and under her eyes gets brown from tears. I don't think it is the chicken because my dog doesn't eat chicken. It isn't dangerous but most pet stores do sell special wipes to get the tear stains off or certain things to mix with their food that will remove the stains. As for the chicken, slowly mixing in other food until he's only eating the other food and the chicken's gone is a suggestion. good luck!

Answer 3

Watery eyes can be caused from a number of problems such as allergies, dry-eye or "Disticia" which is when eyelashes grow toward the eye and cause irritation to the cornea. This can be corrected by either surgery (drastic) or eye drops. Use artificial tears for the tearing and for the stains, I have used a product called "Diamond Eye" which has been successful in decreasing (notice how I don't say "remove" ...I'm not sure there is anything that can totally remove tear stains) the stains caused by tearing.
