Remove Dog Tear Stain with MOM Formula

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.

Look at this before trying oral tear stain products NEW
by: Anonymous

After being caught in the "Best Tear Stain Products" War, and reading one company demise another for antibiotic use I looked up ingredients of what appears as the two top oral products offered in the U.S. One uses Tylosin Tartate. Tartate being a derivitive such as an enzyme or salt of the Tylosin which is used as a broad spectrum gram negative antibiotic (resources:Wikipedia for both terms). The other company who points fingers at the company using the antibiotic, I found Eyebright (Euphrasia Officialis) listed as a Herb primarily used for short-term use of "pink-eye." And, side effects include, severe itching, changes in vision, redness and eye swelling and photophobia or intolerance to light. And, it has had limited studies for human consumption. I found no studies related to pet consumption. In ending, I have to say finding your home remedy is a delight, however, because I will be using it primarily for saliva stains, I will probably use it as a daily wash/rinse to avoid/limit any MOM ingestion. Perhaps, with daily use, I'll have the same effect. J.Annette

tear stains
by: TBenz

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)
