Disco's Eye Stain Before Using MOM
I just got a Maltese Poodle or Maltipoo named Disco. He had very bad tear stains, so I decided to try a solution using products I already had.
I mixed up equal parts of Milk of Magnesia and Peroxide with a little bit of Corn Starch to make a paste (just thick enough so that it stays on the hair under the eyes). I applied it under his eyes to leave overnight.
When I washed it out in the morning, the tear stains were 90% gone. Now I give him 1/2 a Tums a day to keep the tear stains away and only use the MOM formula once a month.

Remove Dog Tear Stain with MOM Formula
Make sure that you use an eye ointment before applying the mom method, to protect your pets eyes. Also, be careful when using a product containing antibiotics in puppies who have not cut their adult teeth. It can cause their adult teeth to come in discolored. You may also try adding a teaspoon of white vinegar to their filtered drinking water.

tums is not safe by: Anonymous
please do not give your dog antacids for prolonged periods it can cause numerous problems:
1. constipation
2. reduced medicine efficiency
3. excess acid production
4. kidney failure
5. hypercalcemia
6. tums is full of dangerous artificial sweetners
Also "clear tears" is antibiotic based (tylosin)
