Let my years of tear-stained dogs help you with knowledge
Don't use this product for tear stains! I've owned 2 purebred Bichons. If you're looking to buy this I'm sure you've already spent a lot of time researching to find people swearing things do and don't work. I couldn't briefly describe the time over the last 10 years I have spent researching tear stains, products, plastic food bowls, food choices, etc. A product called Angel Eyes USED to work, until a few years ago when the FDA made them remove the antibiotic in it. Then it became no different than any other OTC product. Even being careful with this bleach, and not getting it in your dog's eyes, it will work...but the stains WILL come back. And you can't put bleach on your dogs eyes for the rest of their life. I've purchased the same antibiotic that used to be in the Angel Eyes product on Amazon. It's Tylan soluble (tylosin tartrate) and my Bichons eyes have once again cleared up after being on this one week. If you buy the antibiotic and spend money on a cheap scale that measures milligrams, you will spend under $50, the dogs tear stains will go away. After the stains are gone, you only use the antibotic maybe once every few months, as long as you take a dry cloth and dry your dog's eyes once or twice a day so the tears don't sit and grow fungus.
I'm sure I've spent close to two grand in tear staining products over the years. Not caring how much I spent, as long as it worked. It was frustrating trying to determine does it work does it not, maybe a little, try something different etc etc. This antibiotic will last you forever because you only need about 6 MG per pound mixed into their wet food. The container about $20 is 100 grams.
Hope I've helped at least a few people that will stop with all this other stuff that doesn't work or puts bleach next to your dog's eyeball. :-)
