20 Tips For Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Tear Stain Removal

If you have a Cavalier in your home, chances are you're pretty familiar with the dreaded tear stains. In our home, we call it "eye juice" (ew...I know). It's stinky, it's messy and stains when rubbed up against furniture, it doesn't look cute, and most importantly it probably isn't too comfortable for our pooches to have sitting on their fluffy little faces. Not to mention - it could be a heads up that there's a more serious issue at hand.

When I'm in need of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel tips, I look no further than the amazing CavLife community. I asked followers for solutions they've tried and would recommend to others, and they totally came through. 

Check out ways other Cavalier King Charles Spaniel owners clean and prevent tear stains under their pup's eyes below!

"There are heaps of things to try. Addressing the core issue is probably better than a cover up. Diet and water are a huge factor, filtered/fresh water and a fresh diet help a lot of people. Wiping/washing your dogs face on a regular basis can help clear already stained eyes and prevent further stains." - @three_spaniels_
