Stained Fur

Hello everyone! I found some information on *staining that can sometimes occur around our baby's mouth and eyes. Riley's eyes aren't stained about all but he's started to have staining around his mouth and on the bottom of his paws from licking/biting.

The info below is very helpful and I've actually purchased the Apple Cinder Vinegar pills.

Tears Stains and Bacterial Infections: Wet areas on the face are a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. Bacterial infections commonly occur in the tear ducts. Ptirsporum, red yeast bacteria, is at the root of most yeast infections. Tear stains also often occur at the same time as a gum infection or ear infection. Staining can also occur on a dog's paws from licking and around his mouth from infected saliva.

Apple cider vinegar (in its natural form from a health food store, not the pasteurized version from the Supermarket) is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, and deodorant; It helps digestion and to remove tooth tartar; prevents tooth decay and hair loss (even mange), it also prevents and heals gum disease and skin problems; and will discourage fleas. Putting a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar per quart of water in your dog's water bowl or on food can clear up most active yeast infections and prevent future infections.

Apple cider vinegar tablets can be used if your dog refuses to drink the treated water or eat the food.
Hope you find this helpful! Have a superfantastic day!
Cheers! Angelia & Riley
