Tear stains occur when your pet’s tears overflow and cannot be properly drained, often leaving visible staining on the fur. While blocked tear ducts and genetics are common causes, food sensitivities may also play a significant role. If your pet suffers from food sensitivities, it can lead to excess tear production and staining.
Excessive tear production
Red, irritated eyes or visible staining around the eyes
Frequent pawing or rubbing of the eyes
Discomfort or itchiness around the eyes
Foul odor or discharge from the eyes
Tear stains are a common issue for many pets, often linked to an overproduction of tears that can't be properly drained. But did you know that food sensitivities could be a hidden cause behind those unsightly marks?
Food Sensitivities
Certain ingredients like chicken, grains, and artificial additives can trigger allergic reactions that lead to excessive tearing and staining.
Genetics
Some breeds, especially flat-faced breeds like Pugs and Shih Tzus, are more prone to tear stains due to their facial structure.
Blocked Tear Ducts
Blocked tear ducts can prevent tears from draining properly, causing staining, but this condition is often exacerbated by food sensitivities or allergies.
Environmental Factors
Dust, pollen, and mold may irritate the eyes and increase tear production.
If your pet suffers from tear stains, their food could be the culprit. A hypoallergenic, chicken-free diet can help reduce the excess tearing caused by food sensitivities, leading to cleaner eyes and healthier skin.
