I have a 10 month old purebred Bichon Frise. Only one of her eyes waters a little. The watering began when she was teething and loosing her baby teeth. Any watering on a pure white dog will stain no matter how much you clean it.

I gave the lowest recommended dose to her on top of her food. Her appetite did not change. (However, the powder does get in her hair- which Bichons have a lot of, so I will sprinkle a little water on top to make it stick to the food better.)After 2 months and 2 monthly hair trims (which is a must for Bichons), my babies eyes are BOTH white now. I am starting to give this to her every other day and try to wean her off of it. So far, the stains have not come back.

BEFORE giving this to your dog I would recommend the following: #1- Check their diet for dyes, beets, or by-products. My dog eats only Innova Puppy Food, so there are no dyes, beets, or by-products causing the staining. #2- Check for stray hairs- My baby has the hair trimmed back from her eyes, so the watering is not irritation. #3- Use only Stainless Steel Bowls- others could have dyes in the plastics.

Although cost was never a real issue, I almost choked when I saw the price of Angel's Eyes. And the shock was compounded by knowing it wasn't a permanent solution but something my white minature poodle OLIVER would always have to take if I wanted bright, clean & clear eyes. I thought long and hard before buying that first tiny $32. bottle at the pet store. It only contained about 2 weeks of treatments, but none of the topical products had worked. Name it, I'd tried it.... I changed to a food without beets, cranberries, or blueberries. I only gave him bottled water as recommended by another poodle owner. I washed his face morning and night and kept applying products that promised to make his eyes diamond clear. The stain was so dark and permanent it certainly looked as if his eyes were bleeding down each side of his nose.

I can't say enough about this wonderful product and buy it in the largest possible size so I'm never without. Oliver is down to 3 times a week and it keeps that nasty red yeast away. It only took a few days to see the new growth around his eyes and by the end of the first week, I was able to carefully clip most of the stain away. It's been 2 months and Oliver's eyes sparkle. It's processed in a powdered liver base so there was very little problem getting him to accept it. I think I mixed a little grated cheese in the first week but he doesn't hesitate anymore, and he only eats dry food.

Great product and great company.

I don't usually take the time to write a review on products but I had to write one for Angels Eyes. I have a 7lb Shih Tzu w/ all white fur around his face and this product has worked wonders.
We got him at 12 weeks and the staining was really bad. I did not start using this product until he was 9 months old because I thought maybe he was just teething and it was causing the staining. I used Angels Eyes for 2-3 weeks before I actually saw a difference. I was happy that it worked but disappointed that there was still some staining. I have now used it for 2 months and the red staining is gone completely (after cutting the old fur away). He still tears when he's running around playing and his whiskers and fur is wet around the nose and mouth but there is no red color. He also has no problem eating the Angels Eyes if it's mixed in w/ some canned food.

This product does work very well, that is why I was disappointed when my dog started vomiting after two weeks of using this stuff. I guess his system could not digest it. His vomit was filled with this stuff. When he first started vomiting I stopped giving him Angel's Eyes and the vomiting stopped. I gave him Angel's Eyes again and after a few days he started vomiting again. It is too bad it makes him sick, because it works very well.

I read the reviews and ordered this product for my two Bichons. They weren't wild about the taste, but I got them to eat it - and it did work. Within a week the tear staining was much diminished, and after two weeks was gone entirely. But then I noticed both dogs were developing diarhea. and seemed "off" - eating grass, throwing up, not eating as well, etc. More research and I discovered that this product contains Tylosin, which is actually a low grade antibiotic. NOT GOOD! Had I known that I was feeding an antibiotic on a daily basis, I NEVER would have purchased this product - and I certainly would not have purchased the large size for continued usage. I have since found out that in many cases, you can feed 1/2 of a Tums (500 mg calcium carbonate) twice daily or add 1 teaspoon vinegar to their water. I tried the vinegar and they wouldn't drink, so now I am using the Tums, with eqaully good results. I would caution anyone with the tear staining problem to talk to their vet and treat this product with caution. I give it one star because it contains an antibiotic which is not explained - the average layman would not know what Tylosin is.

Angels Eyes did not help the tear stains on my Maltese. When I got him at four months old, he had a little bit of staining, but nothing terrible. Once he started teething about a month later, it got really bad. I spent $60 on the Angel eyes because the reviews on here were good, and the breeder recommended it as well. I followed the instructions verbatim for three months, and nothing happened. It was a total waste of money, and I found out a secret from my groomer who agreed Angel Eyes is garbage. Dilute Hydrogen Peroxide with water, and rub it with a cotton ball on the tear stains. Then put a little vasoline on the spot so the tears roll off the fur, and do not settle in. I do it once in the morning and once at night, and his tear stains are completely gone. It also helps to keep the hair by the eyes short and clean. BOTTOM LINE, this product is not healthy to use long term(according to my dog's vet) and there are other more cost-effective alternatives available (the bottle of Peroxide was 75 cents at the drugstore!).

I was a little leary of this product, after all, I had tried all the topical ointments and nothing worked. But I am thrilled with this product. Although the directions indicated it might takes weeks to see an improvement I noticed a big difference in just a week. My dogs eyes aren't as runny and after I took him to the groomers and had his hair trimmed the brown tear stains are all gone and have not returned! Also, it hasn't affected him eating his food either. My dog is finicky so I was concerned he might notice the taste and not eat it when I added it to his food. But it either has no taste or tastes good cuz he still eats his food without a problem. This product is worth trying!

This product does work, but it contains Tylosin, which is actually a low grade antibiotic. My dogs developed diarhea after 2 weeks. Consult your veternarian before using this product!

I have been using Angels Eyes with my Maltese for over a year now. It really works. I agree that it is expensive, but it is the only thing I have found that not only eliminates tear stains, but actually seems to whiten the coat overall. I tried a competitive product with a very similar name but it was less palatable. As it is, I hide Angels Eyes in a tiny bit of canned food and my Maltese doesn't even notice. I am also at a point where just a teeny pinch maintains dry eyes and white coat. It took a couple of weeks for AE to work, but it has never stopped working. Buy this product and you will not be disappointed!

While the product does work, be aware that Tylosin is actually a low grade antibiotic. After 2 weeks of use, both my Bichons developed diarhea - and that is when I discovered what Tylosin really is. Use of a daily antibiotic can kill the "good" intestinal bacteria and cause other problems. If you are planning on using this product, consult your veternarian first and use with caution!
