Eye Envy Powder Tear Stain Remover for Dogs & Cats

The Eye Envy Tear Stain Remover Powder for Dogs and Cats is the second step in the tear stain removal process. The application powder is strongly recommended to use as an enhancer in conjunction with a tear stain solution (not included). Use this application powder to help repel tears to keep the area dry and to prevent the regrowth of tear stain causing bacteria. Highly recommended for all breeds, especially whites and light colored coats.

After using a tear-stain solution or pre-soaked pads, gently work the Eye Envy Powder into your dog or cat's fur, working around the eyes and working powder against the hair growth. You can use a small brush or your fingertip. Allow to dry. You can apply the powder immediately after applying the solution. Avoid getting powder in your pet's eyes or nose.

Continue this process daily for one week. After one week, apply as necessary.

What causes excessive tearing and staining?

Staining can be caused by a variety of factors:* Clogged or Shallow Tear Ducts: Studies indicate that 20-25% of small dogs and cats are born with closed or shallow tear ducts. Tears overflow because in certain breeds the eyelid space is not deep enough to contain them.* Excessive Tearing: When the facial hair is wet from excessive tearing, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast infections (AKA: Red Yeast, which causes deep reddish-brown stains); Low grade bacterial infections may also cause excessive tearing.* Cutting Teeth: Cutting teeth may cause changes in the head & mouth structure of your pet, placing pressure on the tear ducts.* Irritation & Allergies: Some animals get hair or eyelashes into their eyes causing irritation. Many breeds are susceptible to allergies. Shampoos and other chemicals can also irritate their eyes. Some foods cause allergic reactions and pets could also build an allergic reaction over time to a type of food.* Water: Water with high mineral levels causes staining.Food & Treats: Diet can play a significant role in tearing. Many commercial foods contain additives, preservatives and food coloring which could lead to staining.* Fleas: Fleas survive in moisture, which they get from the eye or mouth area. This could cause irritation and in addition red stains left behind may be from flea feces. These are just a few reasons, yet there are potentially many more.* Ear Infections.
