I do a lot of maltese's and MANY have tearing problems. Does angel eyes REALLY work? I want to offer a product to my customers but only if it really does make a difference (especially for that price). Other wise, are there other solutions?

I-Stain
Try I-Stain. It worked for my Mini-Schnauzer. You just have to be consistent. It looks like powered milk that you sprinkle on the food. Mix it in well, or they may not eat it, but I found that it worked.
You can get it on Amazon. It's cheaper than Angel Eyes.

Yes it works because it has a narrow spectrum antibiotic in it called Tylosin. Some people are not comfortable keeping their pets on an antibiotic on a regular basis for cosmetic purposes.What a caterpillar considers the end of his world, we call a butterfly.

tear stains
Many tear stains are caused by a type of red yeast. I have found the best way to combat this is from the inside out by adding probiotics to the dog's food. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a good one and is very inexpensive. You can find it in any vitamin aisle. It's the same probiotic that is found in yogurt and is very effective at combating yeast when taking internally on a regular basis.

Personally I'd like it if they would take Angel Eyes and any other similar product off the market. It's an antibiotic, and I don't think it's wise to use it that way.
Overuse/inappropriate use of antibiotics is what's given us MRSA and VRSA. MRSA has the ability to pass the resistant gene to other staph bacteria as well as unrelated bacteria like e-coli. These bacteria are nothing to take casually. They're killers. Do we really want to create something like that for our dogs?
First one should try to identify why the dog's tears are spilling over onto it's face. Is it an allergy? Blocked tear ducts? Extra eyelashes (distachia) constantly rubbing against the eyes? If you address the issue of why the dog has excessive tearing, the staining usually resloves. Treating the stains without treating the condition that's causing them is like taking an aspirin for pain that's being caused by cancer.

Thank you all on the info! people here are VERY antibiotics conscious so I don't think that is a good choice. I will look into the one from Happy Tails Spa.
I had a No Tears removal liquid from my suppliers brand name but like all - it had to be applied every few days for it to work. But who knows IF it works. I decided last week to send it home with one of my best customers who has a maltese with bad tearing and browning around the mouth. Asked her to try it for the tearing and if it does help then I will offer that for resale and maybe also the one from Happy Tails.I'm really just a little dog in a big dog's body (I really should cut down on those milk bones).
