A Veterinary Guide to Tear Stains

I am often asked about how to deal with staining problems in pets.  That rusty brown hair around your dog's eyes or mouth, or places he licks a lot, like feet, etc. is not only unsightly but is generally a sign of an underlying health condition.  Unfortunately there are several potential causes, so no one remedy will necessarily clear up the cosmetic symptoms. 

Here is a very good article from a vet clinic that was recently shared within my groomers network.  While an entire book would probably have to be written to cover all the potential underlying causes of staining and go into detail on the many treatment options, this article is one of the most thorough and helpful I have seen.
