Some stains can be small and others can be quite large. Similar colorings\/stains can be found around the mouth and even on the paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eye stains are considerably more noticeable on poodles with white fur, compared to those with dark fur. But stains can develop regardless of fur color. Most stains are usually dark reddish\/brown in color but can come in a variety of tones, shapes, and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Poodles_Get_Eye_Tear_Stains\"><\/span>Why Do Poodles Get Eye Tear Stains?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eye staining happens due to having excessively watery eyes or otherwise known as eye tearing. The constant moisture (saline) around the eyes is what eventually causes the discoloration. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saline contains many different minerals like Iron and Magnesium that are responsible for the eventual discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, constant moisture around the eyes can lead to bacteria growth which then leads to further redness and irritation. Although this doesn&rsquo;t always happen, it&rsquo;s another cause for discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background\"><strong>So what causes watery eyes (eye tearing)?<\/strong><br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Allergies<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Dietary issues (malnutrition or food intolerances)<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Unfiltered tap water<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Tear duct blockage<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Teething<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Issues with eyelids\/lashes\/fur<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Ear infections<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Other health issues<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common out of that list are allergies, dietary issues, and close hair that irritates the eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, due to there being a number of reasons that are hard to identify yourself, like tear duct blockages and underlying health issues, <strong>it&rsquo;s necessary to first take your Poodle to your veterinarian to rule all health issues out.<\/strong> You are then left with things that you have control over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This content was originally produced and published on www.thepuppymag.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background\"><strong>Other Popular Poodle Articles:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/thepuppymag.com\/do-poodles-like-to-cuddle\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4946\">Are Poodles Cuddly?

Find The Root Cause of The Watery Eyes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Please don&rsquo;t skip this step!<strong> <\/strong>The reason why most owners have trouble removing the eye stains, or at least only have initial success, is because the root cause is not addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t find out why your Poodle has watery eyes, to begin with, then it doesn&rsquo;t matter what you do next, as the stains will always reappear. I can&rsquo;t stress enough how important it is to rectify this first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rule out health issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a veterinarian rule out health issues and check for tear-duct blockages and other problems that may be causing watery eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider allergies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergies can be caused by a variety of issues and often display many other symptoms aside from watering eyes. Your veterinarian will also be able to assist in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergies can come from things like dusty environments, pollen, certain fabric conditioners or washing powders, perfumes, deodorants, or it can be a dietary allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that&rsquo;s particularly good for environmental or airborne allergens are HEPA air filters. You can get standalone units that slowly filter the air throughout your entire home, removing nearly all airborne allergens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HEPA vacuum cleaners are also very popular nowadays too. They effectively clean your carpets and hard floors by removing allergens as well as just dust and physical dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it&rsquo;s hard to narrow down specific allergens, and makes the visit to your veterinarian even more necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider switching kibbles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dietary issues are another common cause of watery eyes. Whether it&rsquo;s from malnutrition or from a specific intolerance to an ingredient, a change of kibble may be necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grain-free diets are the center of big debate, and there are reasons both for and against them. Most dog foods are already grain-free and that&rsquo;s what I suggest here, grain-free kibbles often digest much easier and contain fewer irritants than non-grain-free kibbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Always opt for reputable brands like Orijen, Acana, Merricks, Wellness, and Taste of The Wild. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also try a limited ingredient kibble as they often digest much easier due to having fewer ingredients. A huge benefit of limited ingredient kibbles is that they are made for dogs with <a href=\"https:\/\/thepuppymag.com\/do-poodles-have-sensitive-stomachs\/\"><strong>sensitive stomachs<\/strong><\/a>, and therefore leave out many common allergens and suspect ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filter your poodle&rsquo;s drinking water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This changes depending on where you are, but you would be surprised to know that most tap water in the USA (affecting over 100 million Americans) has hundreds of known carcinogens, irritants, and chemicals in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some specific elements contained in tap water have a very high mineral content, which then affects the saline make-up in your poodle&rsquo;s tears. This has a direct effect on tear stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering how many contaminants are in tap water, it&rsquo;s better to fill your poodle&rsquo;s water bowl with filtered water.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CAREFULLY Trim the hair around your poodle&rsquo;s eyes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the hair around your poodle&rsquo;s eyes will grow long and poke into the eye. Hairs like this need to be removed as soon as possible, but you must of course be extremely careful with scissors or trimming scissors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s very risky to use scissors around the eye area so unless your poodle remains perfectly still and you are comfortable at making the cut, it&rsquo;s best to hire a groomer to do it for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use a <em>Reputable<\/em> Stain Remover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what most owners try first, and consequently, miss out on everything I just mentioned above! That&rsquo;s also the reason why the tear stains consistently come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two most common ways to remove stains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Eye stain remover wipes<br><strong>&#9679;<\/strong> Eye stain remover liquid<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>&#11088;<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>Eye stain remover WIPES<\/strong> are a must, and they do a great job at clearing stains fast, so I strongly recommend getting some. I prefer the ones from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/winnieindustries-Remover-Treatment-Unscented-Gentle\/dp\/B08KW5G39N\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=PFUX4X0KLY0F&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=dog+eye+stain+remover&amp;qid=1608208680&amp;sprefix=dog+eye+stain+re,aps,247&amp;sr=8-6&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=puphelp-20&amp;linkId=15b9caa9bc0ec0261da1416e9b794d3f&amp;language=en_US\"><strong>HAPIPET<\/strong><\/a> (Amazon). They are gentle, non-irritating eye wipes that help to clean around the eye and slowly remove the stain. These wipes work well and do not use any harsh chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give your poodle&rsquo;s eyes a wipe in the morning and evening, be gentle, but be thorough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>&#11088;<\/strong> Eye stain remover LIQUID<\/strong> can be used alongside wipes. My favorite solution is from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SPA-TropiClean-Tear-Stain-Remover\/dp\/B001AWH582\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=PFUX4X0KLY0F&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=dog+eye+stain+remover&amp;qid=1608208849&amp;sprefix=dog+eye+stain+re,aps,247&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQVVFRzJYNDFHQ01ZJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDUzMzUxM1JYOFIwT0MyUFdGTyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjM1Mzk4TUoxQTRJRFIxTjhYJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=puphelp-20&amp;linkId=324bee2cef4c8ed69d7157cf5d7af6df&amp;language=en_US\"><strong>TropiClean<\/strong><\/a> (Amazon). Their solution uses a combination of natural ingredients like <a href=\"https:\/\/thepuppymag.com\/is-coconut-safe-for-dogs\/\"><strong>coconut<\/strong><\/a>, vanilla, kiwi, and vitamin E to gently cleanse and remove stains. Many owners have excellent results with this product so check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember, you may see initial results by using wipes and solutions, but if the root cause isn&rsquo;t addressed, tear staining will forever be an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Remedies_Safe_or_Unsafe\"><\/span>Home Remedies Safe or Unsafe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many home remedies or &ldquo;concoctions&rdquo; you can mix together in order to remove stains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From corn starch, boric acid, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar solutions, and the list continues. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The different variations of solutions that you can make all have their own potential hazards and so it&rsquo;s best to just avoid them from the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eye area of your poodle is extremely delicate and you don&rsquo;t want to risk getting chemicals in your poodle&rsquo;s eye! <strong>That would be a life-changing disaster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stick to tested products that are gentle and contain no harsh chemicals.
