FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?

What causes excessive tearing and staining?
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: 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 eyes. Some 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 colouring.  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 faeces

These are just a few reasons.  There are MANY more!!
