The most common cause of dog tear stains is the increased production of tears. This can be caused by a number of things, including allergies, eye irritants, or infections. Irritation of the hair follicles around the eyes can also cause excessive tearing. The presence of certain bacteria in the eyes or the presence of a foreign agent in the eyes can also cause tear stains in dogs. Other than these things, genetics can also play a factor. Finally, some breeds are just predisposed to having tear stains, such as poodles and Maltese. Fortunately, most of these causes can be treated with good hygiene practices. There are also products that can be used to reduce the appearance of tear stains in dogs.
