Dog grooming is very important especially for pedigree showdogs, but also for your average dog.

Unsightly tear stains show up on white fur particularly and can be rather offputting to look at.

There are many reasons why a dog’s eyes will water excessively.

A simple bacterial infection could be behind excessive tear production. This can be followed by a yeast infection which causes dark red marks on the dog’s “cheeks”.

Other explanations include blocked tear ducts, ear infections, genetics, allergies, a high mineral content in the water, diet and fleas.

Changing your dog’s diet may solve the issue if food is the culprit. A water test can be done just by substituting normal water for filtered water and seeing whether there is an effect.

Sometimes your dog might just have teary eyes, and you need to sort it out just at that moment.

If you are the owner of a white dog you will find this familiar territory.
