Best Way To Prevent Tearstains On A Havanese?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I have a newly acquired six year old Havanese dog. The hair under her eyes has been shaved but I want it to grow out long like it’s supposed to be. What’s the best way to prevent tearstains from reappearing?

Oh I just spoke to this lady who is very experience in dogs. She told me that other then cleaning the eyes everyday you have to clean the ears too. They are connected in some ways. I have started to clean my dog’s ears (and boy they are dirty) and waiting to see some results.
Try giving your dog a tablespoon of plain yogurt (with live cultures) every day at feeding time. There’s something about the pro-biotics (cultures) that help prevent staining around the eyes. Plus, it’s good for the digestive system!

I read this recently in a dog book. Try putting a little Vaseline under the eye where the tear stains appear. It’s supposed to keep the “eye gunk” from attaching to the coat. I would guess that you’d have to apply daily or every other day or so. Might be worth a try. Good luck.
