Irritation
Although most Maltese sport the short Maltese puppy cuts, hair can still get into their eyes.
This causes irritation and excessive tearing.
- Solution - Pay careful attention to the hair
around the face of your Maltese. Use barrettes or bows to keep your Maltese's hair away
from her eyes. There are so many cute styles to experiment with.
I usually use a barrette or tiny scrunchy to tie up Marley's hair.
Allergies
Smoke, shampoo, perfumes, and other chemicals can have an effect on your Maltese's tear stains.
Many Maltese dogs are sensitive to certain shampoos and chemicals. Allergies in dogs can cause excessive tearing and lead to eye stain.
- Solution - To give your Maltese dog allergy relief,
put eye drops in your dog's eyes before
shampooing. If you notice a sensitivity to certain grooming products, use gentler shampoos and sprays. Products containing oatmeal and
natural oils, instead of perfumes and chemicals, are best. Marley's groomer uses a gentle Oatmeal Whitener shampoo.
Fleas
Believe it or not, fleas can actually make tear staining worse. Fleas need moisture
to survive and can irritate your dogs eyes.
- Solution - Keep fleas under control at all times
of the year. I use
Frontline Plus on Marley. It's so simple to just apply a few drops on her
back every 3 months to keep the little buggers away. Most treatments also work on
ticks. Kill two birds with one stone.
