Questions (and complaints) about tear staining in dogs is something I hear frequently. That rusty brown coloring takes over the hair at the dog's inner eyes. But what causes it?

Most of the time tear staining is normal and not a medical concern (if your dog has a lot of "goop" or you are concerned, please check with your veterinarian). Tear staining occurs when a chemical called porphyrin, a breakdown product of blood in the tears, interacts with the light and is oxidized. This causes a brownish stain of the hair at the inner aspect of the eye that "dyes" the fur.

I strongly advise skipping over most of the over-the-counter products available to "treat" tear staining. Many of these products contain an antibiotic (tylosin).
The antibiotic is unnecessary (and could contribute to antibiotic resistance) because it is NOT a bacteria problem. Plus, many of these products don't specify how much antibiotic is in them - so the dose could be wrong for your pet.

Here's what I recommend instead:
Gentle daily washing of this area of your pet’s fur. All you need is warm water and a paper towel, cotton ball, washcloth, or even a soft toothbrush to gently comb the area.

TICK CHECK! Who’s seeing ticks? We’re still seeing them!

Fleas can live indoors, protected from the cold, and ticks can be active at temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure to get a good tick check in after rolling through those crunchy fall leaves! 🍂

I recommend year-round flea and tick prevention to help. ❤️
