Tear stains are caused by an overflow of tears, which then react with normal bacteria found on the skin, to produce the darkened reddish-brown color found on the inside corner and just below the eyes of pets. Red yeast is a common culprit in producing tearstains, as this organism, like most fungi, thrives in the warm and damp environment just below your pet's eyes. Although tearstains don't generally pose serious risk, in some cases they may be associated with bacterial or yeast infections, as well as being unsightly and undesirable in show pets.
Because tearstains can be linked to bacterial or yeast infections, it's very important to make sure your pet has a healthy immune system. Along with a balanced diet of fresh vegetables and raw meat, the use of
Immunity & Liver Support will help keep your pet's immune system in top form.
Regular cleansing of the area with an herbal solution, such as PetAlive iClenz, will help rid your pet of those unsightly tears stains. PetAlive iClenz contains a blend of natural, cleansing ingredients in an herbal tincture that will effectively cleanse tearstains as well as support general eye and visual health.
