Hello!
Have you been worried about your dog's tear stains lately? I looked it up and found that dog food can help, but there are so many different types and I have no idea which one is best! For those of you in this situation, I'd like to introduce you to dog foods that can improve and prevent tear stains. ♪
What exactly are tear stains?

Tear staining occurs when tears continue to flow from the eyes, causing the hair around the eyes to turn reddish-brown when the tears dry and oxidize. Tear staining can occur in a variety of situations. For example, if something gets in the eye, or if the eye is injured, tear stains may occur if tears continue to overflow for some reason.
Unless your dog is itchy or unable to open its eyes, there's no need to rush to the vet right away. However, if the condition persists for a long time, it could lead to a bacterial infection and dermatitis. While temporary symptoms are not a problem, if they persist for a long time, consult a veterinarian.
There are quite a few dog breeds that are prone to tear stains. Breeds prone to allergies, such as toy poodles, Maltese dogs, pugs, Shiba Inus, and Chihuahuas, are prone to tear stains due to their naturally loose skin and skeletal structure.
To prevent tear stains on a daily basis, wipe your dog's tears frequently. We recommend using cotton or gauze when doing so.
If your dog's tears have hardened over time, use wet cotton or gauze and let them soak for 1-2 minutes. Then, use a fine-toothed comb to loosen and remove the tears. Do not pull them forcefully.
Can dog food improve tear stains?
I'm sure many of you are wondering about this headline, but the answer is "yes." Continuing to feed your dog poor-quality dog food can lead to indigestion and waste buildup.
This can lead to thick tears, which inevitably contain a lot of bacteria. If they oxidize and harden, they can become tear stained. It can also lead to dermatitis. Therefore, choose a dog food that is highly digestible, ensure your dog is drinking plenty of water, and ensure they use the toilet regularly.
Of course, tear staining isn't just caused by dog food. As mentioned above, it can also be caused by congenital conditions or allergies. Just keep in mind that dog food can sometimes help alleviate the symptoms!
Now that you understand tear staining... let's introduce some recommended dog foods.
How to Choose Dog Food
◇ Foods with plenty of meat
Avoid foods with vague descriptions (e.g., "XX meal") and choose foods that clearly state the origin and type of meat!
◇Grain-Free
Dogs have little of the enzymes necessary to digest grains, making them difficult to digest. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it can cause indigestion, so choose grain-free food whenever possible.
◇Free from harsh additives
While not directly related to tear staining, accumulation can cause allergies. This can lead to tear staining.
